Improvement throughout the Years

I can honestly say my writing skills have improved so much throughout the years. My mom also thinks so too. I talked to my mom yesterday on the phone for about an hour and we started talking about how my classes are going, and how I'm feeling about them. She stopped me while I was talking and said my communication skills have improved and I told her my English class has helped me a lot with that. Basically what I'm trying to say is that, if my mom can see my progress than obviously I really have improved. She mentioned that she's never been a  "great" writer, but her writing has improved as shes aged. Once she said that it hit me that maybe I will take after her. I know my writing isn't perfect and could still use a lot of work, but I know I am not a terrible writer. It has improved over the years and will more than likely improve as I get older. I told my mom that some days I will open the notepad app on my iPhone and just write how I'm feeling and what's going on in my life at the time. She was very surprised and told me doing that will help better my writing as well.
Long story short, this course has really helped me with my writing I believe. Working with different sites, like Wikipedia, has helped me write more properly and with etiquette. The work we do stimulates my mind to work even harder and that helps me write even better. I'm curious to see how far I can test myself to become an amazing writer one day.

  4. I also feel that my writing has improved since I have been in this class. To become a good writer we have to practice at it, and it sounds like you are a step ahead in that category. Your also right if your mom can realize you are becoming a better writer then you probably are.

  5. It's always an incredibly gratifying feeling to have other people notice how your writing and communication skills have improved. There's always room to improve, but that sort of conformation is the sort of thing you need to keep going.

  6. Alicia, I can agree with you about opening op the notepad app. In my opinion better writing comes with practice and time. I've also found that when you stop short-handing text messages that also helps. The blogs help you get a clear and precise thought on writing. Thats a good thing that your parents notice through your communicating skills.
