Blog Post #8

          To recap on the blog posts that I have written this semester, I believe that I have improved as a writer and that I have learned from mistakes that I have within the writing assignments. I learned ways to improve my vocabulary and how to express it throughout my writings. I learned how to incorporate multimedia efficiently into the posts. Also, I learned how to clearly express my thoughts and ideas. This class has taught me how to not only become a better writer, but how to become a better communicator. 

          Using stronger vocabulary helps the reader learn how to use a wider variety of words in context. This class has helped me understand how to use stronger vocabulary to strengthen the tone of each post. I learned how to appropriately use words that strengthen my thoughts and ideas and how to use words that make my writings more advanced than they were in the past.

          I learned how to accurately include multimedia into the works of writing that I have completed for this class. Multimedia not only makes the writing look more organized but also allows the reader to visually see the thoughts that the author has. The use of multimedia also is used to keep the reader interested and allows the reader to think about the topic for themselves as well.

          Through taking this course I have learned how to completely express my thoughts. I have always had problems converting my thoughts to actuality through written or oral communication; however, this class has helped me by guiding my thoughts towards particular subjects that are thought appealing. Although I have improved on this subject I hope that the guidance of this class and those of the future help me pursue ways to better describe my thoughts.

          This class has truly helped me overcome the issues within writing that I have experienced my entire life. I have learned how to vividly express my knowledge of words and has helped me use the words to express myself more fluently. The use of multimedia has taught me how to give visual aids to the things that I am trying to express. I now know how to use my thoughts and ideas within my writings and how to clearly demonstrate how I feel on particular subjects. This class taught more than I had ever expected. I firmly believe that my work has thoroughly improved and I intend on using these skills not only throughout the remainder of my time in college, but also throughout my works in the workforce.

College is definitely worth it!

 



People in society today question whether college is a worthy investment of their money, time, and effort. In to response to this I would like to say that college is great for someone like me, because of the life that I plan on living in the future. I plan to become a mathematical instructor for high school students and to do so, it is required that I receive a college degree. I have had many obstacles throughout my life and I have done everything to the best of my ability to get to this point in my life. I have the work ethic that will help me exceed the expectations of those that surround me and I will do anything to push through this challenge to achieve the same statute of the alumni of this university.

The expenses that a college student endures is very costly, whether it is through student loans or paying out of pocket. People struggle to overcome the financial burden that a college can toll upon a person. I know that personally the finances that I have and will face will seem overwhelming; however, if you keep a sturdy mindset and focus, then everything will be okay. I am paying for college through a scholarship, pell grant, and from my personal budget. The burdens of college are well worth the benefits, because of the knowledge that is gained, the networking, and the social relationships that help a student throughout life.

The time that we have in college will be cherished for a lifetime. The time that college takes enables a student to learn more information and to establish bonds with people  that will help them overcome things in their lives. People become very close when they all face the same issues. I know that I use my friends tremendously and we all work together to help each other with classes and even life. They experience the same thing as I do on a day to day basis, therefore they fully understand the things that I am going through.  My friends are irreplaceable and we work towards the same common goals in life.

College is a tremendous amount of work that will help a student better understand that a sturdy work ethic will help when working within the workforce. You will learn as a student that the more work you put into something the more benefits you will receive from it. I have worked for everything that I have had in my life and it has taught me that I better appreciate the items that I have in my possession. Working for things also helps show responsibility and shows that you care more about the things in your life.

So all in all, college is well worth the investment and helps an individual discover themselves and what they want to do with their lives. The expenses can be made up and can be fixed if you have a plan for your future and keep to that plan. The time that we experience as college students is like no other and will be cherished forever. There is a lot of work; however, all the work only prepares you to overcome obstacles that you may face in your future. So as society questions whether college is good or not I personally know that this is the perfect place for me to be and I will love every second of my time here.
