Although I am very confident with my writing abilities, I know that there is always
room for improvement. Finding good quotes is a skill I need to work on in order to
support the arguments I make in my writing and perfect my quote sandwiches. Also, I need to work on being a more open minded person when I decide what I will be
writing about. While discussing and addressing controversial topics in my English 115
class, it was difficult to consider all options or opinions before I was more educated
about the topics I was writing about. Once I gained more knowledge about these topics, I was able to shift my writing in a way that challenged my original belief and supported a side that I previously opposed.
English 115 with Professor Kubler has been one of the most interesting and thought provoking classes I have ever taken. I really enjoyed challenging myself as a writer. This class has not only helped
me become quicker at writing, but it has also taught me to be receptive to new and different ideas. It used to be difficult for me to write
about controversial topics, such as homosexuality and transgender
rights, but now that I am more educated on these topics I see the
importance of understanding the opinions of others. Also, I discovered that once I heard the entire story surrounding a topic, I changed
my entire previous views that I assumed to be right. English 115 has
helped me become a more successful writer.
