appreciating this semester...and looking ahead

Well, I’ve made it to my last blog. Where did this semester go, anyway?! Time seems to move faster and faster everyday.

It’s been a good semester. I love the indescribable feeling that I get when I can see measureable results. This semester, I was blessed with a teacher that pushed and encouraged me to go deeper in my writing. The most valuable gift that I’ve been given this semester is confidence…in my writing and other areas of life. I’ve learned how to write faster, which is something I’ve struggled with in the past. I learned pretty quickly that in college, there simply isn’t time to agonize over making an essay perfect.

I’ve had the chance to really think about MC. I’ve come to realize what the college is doing well and what they’re failing at. Our last essay gave me the chance to formulate a substantial argument for things that I feel passionately about. I’ve been able to process my thoughts about why God put me here.

The Academic history essay was an emotional look into who I really am as a student. When I started writing for this essay, I didn’t realize that it would be instrumental in helping me process and come to grips with some things.

All in all, I’m happy to say that I’ve grow a lot! I hope and pray that next semester has even better things in store.
