Final Blog

Over the course of a semester, you can learn many things you didn't know before. Sometime people have no idea how to form a complete sentence without using some kind of slang term or commas in the wrong places. Having a blog can help you in a lot of ways.
Blogging is viewable to millions of people. Though most of them are reading just to read something, the class blog is what is there to help you. Your classmates can comment on what you are doing wrong in the writing process. They can tell you how to make a sentence sound better with some rearranging of words or they can tell you if something is relevant to the current topic you are discussing. When you have classmates that are unbiased to making you feel good about your writing, you can get some honest critique that is very beneficial.
Personally, I liked the blogging. Normally when you have a Myspace Web page or Facebook, people only read what you have to say when they are bored and don't necessarily comment unless they know you closely. When I did the class blog, I almost found it comforting knowing that someone was going to be reading what I had to say. I know it was probably forced reading, but it still meant someone was viewing it.
I didn't like the fact that I had trouble thinking of what to say when I knew that someone was going to be reading it. I didn't want to sound like I didn't know what I was talking about and I surely didn't want to say anything to spark a controversy or offend my classmates. Also, it's hard to write something that doesn't affect you personally without giving too much information about my personal life.
Blogging can surely help you, but it is an honest truth when someone comments on your writing. Be prepared to take some criticism, but know that it is constructive. I will miss knowing that people are reading my writing, but I think it also helped me improve my style. Next year in Composition II, I hope to prove it.
