Generally, if I am being completely honest I am not very fond of language arts classes, but this class was a breath of fresh air from the average language arts class. One of the thing that I enjoyed most about this class, which was actually a huge surprise to me, was the amount of writing we did. We wrote far more than any other language arts class I have been a part of. Even though while I was in the process of writing it may have been horrible, I realized that all the writing that we did this semester formed me into a much more skilled writer by the time the end of the semester came around. It is in a way like practicing a sport, even if all you do is watch and research baseball, the only way you will ever get better at the sport itself is by actually playing it. I say this because I realized that if all you do is learn about writing but never actually write, you will never improve your writing skills as much as you have the potential to. Overall, I believe that this class has helped me become a far better writer over the course of only one semester which is one reason why I have enjoyed the class so far.
Another big reason why I have enjoyed this class so far is the fact that it has helped so much with me preparing for college in multiple ways. The first way it has helped me prepare myself for college is the fact that it has given me a taste of what the amount of writing we do in college will be like. I know that in college it is much more, but I am hoping the amount of writing we do in this class will make the transition to college not as much of a rude awakening. The other big thing that this class has helped me with in regards to college preparation, is not helping with college itself but helping with the application process. This class helped me so much with writing my college essays, and I actually believe that without it my essays would not have been half the quality that they turned out to be. I truly believe that this class has helped me develop greatly as a writer, and even though I never expected to say this about a language arts class, I actually really enjoyed this class.
