Reflective Essay

No matter whats reading peoples work always keeps me going and inspires me.

Receiving various amounts of feedback helps you think and look at your writing differently. It has helped me grow by making me alert on what mistakes I am making and what I am doing good. In some cases I would rather get feedback on what I can improve on instead of kudos. I say this because when you are told that you can change something or make it better then your writing improves drastically and you do better on the next paper you write. At first I only wanted kudos because there basically compliments but now I realize that if I only received kudos,my writing would not improve or change.Every time I got my paper back,I would always see many mistakes and things that said,”Fix grammar” or “Be more specific on who they is.”Those are minor things I can modify in my writing but I was hoping for something more complex that would actually change my writing for the better like the message is unclear or if you incorporate a little more feeling or description in this paragraph it would flow much better. I occasionally received feedback like that but it was mostly after Ms.Corbally revised and graded it.But it’s ironic how I want to receive feedback but yet I don’t give feedback.I don’t give feedback most of the time because I feel like I'm being mean or I'm going to shatter their way of thinking.But I do give really good feedback only if their essay is a mess!Now I know that any type of feedback is useful and needs to be stated in order to help the writer.As you can see, feedback helps 90% of the time.

Everybody gets writers block from time to time. The best thing I could do is relax and just look at things on the Internet or read other peoples blogs or hop on Facebook and do quizzes or read my text messages.When I did this I would form an idea or story in my head before I dove in and wrote about it. Most of the things I wrote on my blog were about my opinion on things or what I like.Or also arguments I got into for stating my opinion.In the beginning, I thought it was going to be easy but after I found out the requirements I got stressed out.What makes it difficult is the fact that sometimes you write about something you enjoy writing about,but you don’t want to be boring and go on and on about just one topic on each blog.It gets sort of easy once you start typing because as you type a lot of ideas pop in to your head.I didn’t like going to the lab to type because you can’t just type something on command and I didn’t get inspired in there because you can’t surf the web to find good topics on those computers or log into Facebook. I also enjoy writing about experiences at school but they have to really catch my attention in order for me to type about it. What also helped me type was getting responses from other people that responded to my previous post.If they shared a different opinion or something new I liked I would post something that either argued with them or agreeing with them.I also like it when people respond because it’s nice reading a different point of view,if it’s really good and convincing it changes my opinion but this has not happened yet because I stand up and stick with what I believe in.I like when people rebuttal and challenge me because it brings ma A game out.It’s easy finding things that inspire you,you just have to search up or look at things your interested in.

Blogs can change how you think or who you are as a person. Blogs changed me somehow because when I type something up I find myself building up a stronger belief towards it and when I see good outcomes from it like people agreeing to it,it makes me feel way stronger about it.But if somebody goes against what I say and I don’t have anything to say back that means I kind of agree or think they have some good points.When you read other peoples blog post you learn new things about the world,society,or just about them.If you read a post talking about yourself like what you have been through and what struggles or obstacles you overcame,you see that person in different eyes. Or when you read a post about a problem in the world,you try and make a difference or appreciate what you have.It has also changed my awareness on what I write because if you say something offensive you will have a lot of problems. By the end of the year, I think i will have many new perspectives on things,more knowledge,and slightly changed opinions.It also changes your study habits because me personally I've been improving little by little on realizing that I need to turn in things on time.I’m not saying the blogs change me completely but they change some of ma ways of thinking and things I do.

Now that I know all of this,the following semester I am going to try my best to complete everything on time and find more things to spark my interest.I will read numerous amounts of blog post so I can respond to them or just to help me create a new post.I will also proof read my work before publishing it and as I read over them I will keep the feedback that was given to me in mind.Peoples work are life savers because they help you out by giving you ideas.
