Self Evaluation
With the semester ending in only a few weeks I can’t help
but feel that the last semester flew by.
It might have something to do with it being my first semester in college
or that the classes only really meet 3 times a week for fifty minutes, but I feel
like college is just going way to fast.
Even though the last semester has felt so short I feel that I was able
to accomplished and learn a great deal in the past few months. Especially in my English class where I have learnt
a great deal about the arts, myself, and different styles of writing.
Before English 15 I wouldn’t be caught dead in a museum let
alone a play. But ever since I joined
the class we have taken field trips to the Penn State museum, I have attended a
play of in the red and brown water, and I have even attended a book reading which
is a really big deal for me. After going
to all of these events I realized a lot of things about art. For one after visiting the museum I realize
how beautiful some pieces of art can be.
I was personally intrigued by the sculptures and pieces of pottery that
they had. Additionally after attending
the play I was amazed by the actor’s ability to shift the audience’s attention onto
the play alone. This wasn’t the first
paly that I have attended but I was probably most amused by this play and I think
that it is because I have learned to appreciate the arts more.
After writing the memoir I realized quite a few things about
myself that I have never bothered to think about before. I realized how worried I was about my future,
because I haven’t really been able to find an interest in anything except
snowboarding since I was little.
Additionally when things start to get hard for me I have the tendency to
kind of stop and quit because I don’t think it is worth it. Plus I found out that ever since I came to
college I started to care more about school because before when I was in school
I would have never bothered to do homework, but now I try and stay on top of my
school work as best as I can. I also
learned how to manage my time a lot better because of all the things outside of
school that I am doing and all the extra freedom I have.
This semester in English class I completed all of the
assignments that were assigned to me in the class and each assignment taught me
a lot of things. The memoir assignment
taught me how to write a memoir and how I had to use a lot of vivid imagery in
my writing. It also taught me how I had
to expand on all of my ideas instead of leaving them as just ideas. The visual analysis paper taught me how to
use all the rhetoric forms of analysis, when analyzing an add.
