Feelings About Writing
When I first took an Composition class at Louisiana Tech University, I hated it. We had to turn in a paper every class meeting. I did not like writing because I thought the professors was so hard on us. One of my professors had an doctorate in English, everything had to be perfect. After taking the class and learning what I was doing wrong in writing my papers, I began to like it. I used to be so nervous when I had a paper to do. When I took the Composition I and realized I had some writing to to those same feelings came over me again. I was so nervous and stressed out. On everything I turned in, I received good grades and compliments on them. Coming into composition II I already knew I had some writing to do. It was overwhelming at first, because I can never get over being nervous about writing. I think what was overwhelming was trying to put the paper together; but after I got started I was less stressed. After finishing the paper I feel accomplished. I don't feel so terrible about writing now that I learned many different things from Louisiana Tech and Kaplan. In Composition I, I wrote a paper on Childhood Obesity, I wish I could write an persuasive paper on the subject.

Lakisha; I am glad that you have over come your fears for writing. I know how you feel about a professor. I have been in part 1 and part 2 of this writing class for 30 weeks. I had to repeat part 1 because I had a professor whom did not teach us very well, and never answered your questions, and I ended up with 0 on my final paper. I am 40 years old and was devastated. When I took it the 2 time I passed with an A. So it does matter on the type of professor you have. When I came into this class I did not know what to expect. I had my doubts. That went away after a few weeks in this class. Now I am hoping I pass this class, waiting for my grade on our paper. I have had enough of writing I am burned out. You will be confident with writing now, and I know you will do good with it in the future.It has been a pleasure working with you in this class. Good Luck with your future goals.
