At the beginning of this course I was pretty laid back. Didn’t really say much, and still hardly don’t unless neccessary. but, at this time I actually think I have came a very long way not just with the first class English 100 but until now. I feel that even though I did stuff half-ass as Marlen would of said at the beginning of this course. I think I actually cracked down a little bit more and got things done a little bit better and with alot of more effort. I never thought that I would actually be able to write a research paper.Well, at first I did but in the middle of the semester. I think I probably complained more about why I couldn’t finish it more then I complained about anything in my life. I’m just glad it’s actually over with honestly, and if no one ever publish my paper or even reads it. In the end I know I accomplished something that other students may never get have a chance to do. And, i’m actually grateful for this semester, this class with marlen and the people in it.
I don’t really have any future goals as a researcher. But, it would truly help in my field as a criminologist. The only reason why is because I actualy believe in some fields, they have to write papers every single day. Compared to most of my teachers i ever had when it came to English, even though I thought at times that you were more involved in my paper then I was. You actually taught me some things that I actualy never knew. And thanks to the book that we had to purchase every single year for your class. It will actually take me a very long way as well as your teachings as a writer. So as a researcher I don’t think I really want to be one of those again honestly lol. But a writer, I honestly think that i would be very good at it as long as I don’t stress out as much and put myself down every chance that i have.
My proudest moment in this class. Honestly i really don’t have one. just meeting new people, just that one group member who actually helped me through to the end of my final paper. Just knowing that even when you don’t realize it, there are people around you that can help you even when you least expected. Realizing that would probably be my definement as my proudest moment. and I dont think i want to change it for anything.
The one thing that would stick with me for the rest of this course would be Doug. The only reason why is because I seen a side a doug that many people did not actually have the chance to see. Even though after he was kicked out, before that moment he went over my paper, and he corrected my paper like he was a teacher. He’s actually a very smart kid! there’s a saying my mommy use to say, “To smart but your lazy”. something like that. I guess he was just so use to everyone downing him thinking he was dumb or to lazy for all this time. he actually acted upon and become what people thought he actually was. So my advice to myself would be never judge someone until you actually get the chance to know them. Because they might actually surprise you in the end.
