Journal #3

Journal Summary 3
As the spring semester comes to a close it brings out a great time to sit back and reflect on how far I have came since I started a couple of months ago. I still have a ways to go but Im definitely heading in the right direction as a student and a writer. I started off always forgetting my assignments or just missing the due date. After realizing that this was just a way of killing my grades I decided I needed to get more organized and get my butt back on track. It was a slow progress but I started to see a change with my grades going up. Even some of my writing techniques started to change throughout the course and by using the peer review sessions. The more I wrote the better I got. Mr. Holt was always there for questions which also helped. When I started college I was so lost and confused and basically felt out of place. But as of now college is just a normal routine just as high school was. Obviously college is harder then high school but if you stay on top of everything and study hard I have found out that college isn’t so bad. The journal entries helped in a way due to the fact that it was a practice of writing almost every class session. The more I write the better I get. You cant improve on anything unless you write more. Same goes in any class how can you et better without studying. I found out to get results I have had to put the effort in. It was a struggle at first but I feel that I have overcame a bunch of obstacles in college and matured into a better student with a better writing skill.
