English 105

English 105 was a great experience to me and it meant so much to have that class. I learned that I may be a good writer, but I also learned that I could be so much better.
I came into the first day of classes thinking oh, this class is going to be way easy, and thought I would breeze through, because I generally was one of the best writers in my high school English classes. Unfortunately, I learned that what we were learning in that class was not going to be as easy as I thought it would be. There were so many new things about writing, and so many different TYPES of writing that I found I actually had a lot to learn. Not only was there rhetoric, but many different types of rhetoric. Or when we had to write our synthesis essays, it was much more difficult than what I was used to. Slowly but surely I started to get a hold on the different writing styles that will help me when I go on to write my reports about student teaching.
So where did this all take me in the end? To become a better writer, and a more intelligent person. The class was not all about writing we did presentations and had discussions. I was able to learn that every argument, no matter what it is about, every argument has two sides. And now because of that outlook I was able to see that I could use that to my own advantage. I can see and understand two ideas about one subject and be able to make a stronger point against anything that my opponent, or just the person I am talking to, says trying to contradict what I said.
I guess that all I am saying is that English 105, was a class that went above and beyond what I expected and easily became one of my favorite classes.
