Dear Barbara,

Coming into this class, I thought this would be one of my hardest classes this

semester because all throughout my life, I have always had difficulties in English classes.

When I came into class on the first day, I didn't know what to expect of the course or how

intense the class would be. As I walked into class the first day, I was nervous on who I

would sit with and how hard the course would be on me. Throughout the class we did a

couple of ice breaker activities and were able to talk with our new classmates. That would

really help me find some friends in this class and make it less awkward between you,me

and my peers. I walked out of class that day having the feeling that, I will have fun in this

class this semester and that was completely right. This has been one of my favorite course

to take in college and it's sad to see it come to an end so soon... As some people would

say, time fly's when you're having fun and I believe that saying happened to me this

semester in UWRT.

Some of the high points throughout the year was meeting my group mates for the

Perspective investigation paper. They were a really good group of people and we have

became close friends and have had a lot of fun together. Another high point this year was

me learning how to express my emotion through my writies. I have done this by making

sure I get my point across, but at the same time, making sure I stay focused on the

subject. This semester has been a learning express and I plan to take what I have learned

in this class into my future classes and into my future career.

Throughout this semester, this has been some low points at the same time as well.

Some of the low points this semester had to be all the stress about the papers and the
eportfolio. Even though, this is apart of college, I still felt stressed to finish the

assignments. I finished all the projects with a lot of time on my hands so I can look over

it and check it. I put pressure on myself to make sure it was done ahead of time. This

would help me feel less stressed down the road, but in the moment, was very stressed.I

learned to overcome it and now, I feel like I can handle stress a lot better.

Throughout the course of this class, I have made some good memories and learned

a lot about writing in general. Coming into this class I knew I was not the strongest writer

and didn't exactly know how to put my thoughts into words and was not good with

grammar. I believe throughout the course of this class I have became a stronger writer

and have started to trust my work. Even though, we had weekly assignments, studio's and

a couple of major projects, I believe that I have learned how to properly write and express

all my ideas. All these different assignments got me excited to write and to teach myself

on how to become a better writer in general. There has been many assignments this year

that has challenged me to go deeper into the readings and to figure out the reason of the

passage or to research what some words.

Sincerely,

Jack Haskins
