Skills Reflection

I'll be honest, Not to anyone else but to myself. When I came to Johnson & Wales University, I thought it will be very easy. Its university! Easy and smooth life. No tentions and many other things. I guess I was right to some extent. But when it comes to English. . . I am always wrong with the projections.

The truth is, when I wrote my 1st class assignment and got it evaluated, I judged myself and realised i was not that good at the beginning. There were alot of errors. My professor told me about the type of problems I had and I realized that I can do it. Firsy set of problems was word count, summarize, paraphrase and quotes. I was not good at all in all these things. The first thing was to corrst minor problems like using commas, avoiding fragments and comma splices.

Sounds so simple. Using commas and words to write 3 pages worth of 'chit-chat'. But, its more than some chatting stuff. Its about being more professional and more formal. Using everything correctly. Then I was worng about the formatting and writing the 'Thesis Sentences and Topic sentences'.

There was alot of repair needed for my english to be 'better than good'. Well. . . With the help of my professor and the exercises she gave me, I practiced and made a few repairs to my english. and I could see my grades going up, little by little.

I never knew what is 'a blog'. But my professor taught the class the concept of a blog, and now, I love blogging because i can write anything i want. I can keep all my feelings open, not woorying about the grammer and other stuff. It's pretty cool.

I don't know about others, but I am satisfied and happy that I took this class and progressed in it. Atleast now I will not have to think twice before writing a letter and it won't take me 4 hours to write an essay. I still need some practice in one of the more parts and as they say "Practice makes a man PERFECT". But I am sure, with the exercises and a person like my Professor around, I will definitely do very good some day. It's all a matter of time!
