Final Evaluation
I know everyone is saying this, but I think it’s obvious how amazing the final projects were. I was so impressed by everyone’s artistic talents and ability to recognize an identity and think outside of the box to show how words and images can project this identity to society. There were so many projects that made me want to cry. That doesn’t happen in every class.
A skill I have now that I didn’t have before this class was the ability to be confident in my writing and to allow others to critique what I have written. Blogging was very scary to me at first. I would spend hours and hours reading over what I wrote, making sure that everything was proper English but still reflected who I am. Now I still read over what I wrote, but I don’t spend twenty minutes on each sentence fearing that a classmate might be intensely critiquing something I blogged. I finally realized that no one has enough time to do that. I still don’t like writing things that other people can read but I’ve gotten over the fear and I can blog with no problem now.
My goal for next semester is to not worry as much about grades but instead to have fun and explore Boston. I basically played catch-up this entire semester. Now that I have a new start I’m not going to let myself get behind, but I’m also not going to allow myself to get as stressed as I did. I didn’t do anything fun in Boston this past semester. This upcoming semester I want to go to a lot of museums, walk the Freedom Trail and most of all, have fun.
Good Luck Next Semester Everyone! It's Been Fun!
