Self-Reflection

When reviewing my writing I notice a common flaw - I have trouble bringing a writing to life. I believe I struggle with focusing on a single moment and having the reader visualize it. I need to work on not being so general and actually show the reader what i am trying to convey. I think my grammar is better and word choice is acceptable, but actually conveying a message to the reader is where I need work. In the future I plan to give the reader better descriptions and moments they can feel and understand my writings.

Friday night Lights (narrative)

A sea of orange, all gather on the far side on the bleachers next to the band. Each student yelling at the top of their lungs, red faced, all bunched together on the grey slippery bleachers. We are all anticipating an enjoyable game while waiting for the our team to kick the ball off to the opposing team. Its dark out, but the bright lights of the stadium illuminate the field, players, and fans - we all hope this years season will be better than the last.

Socrates cafe Reflection

The cafe was very engaging in seeing other peoples opinions and expectations on college (The topic was "why College"). The group went into multiple aspects upon college and I made a few necessary comments to further advance the conversation. I tried not to cut other students off and instead tried to engage students to get more viewpoints in the discussion.
