Epilogue

As I reflect on the Personal Writing Portfolio I have compiled over the past month or so, a few things stick out to me.  Some of the blog assignments that seemed to be an easy task turned out to be pretty difficult once I started writing. Assignments that made me write about my good qualities or what I liked about myself turned out to be quite a challenge. I learned it’s actually quite hard to write about myself in a positive light. Not that I don’t see anything positive about myself, I just feel uncomfortable writing about it.

 

I wrote a lot about learning not to worry about things I cannot change or little things that don’t matter and that is something I need to work on. This semester has helped me kind of relax and learn to go with the flow.

 

This semester has also helped me learn to just write and not think so hard about what I want to say. I tend to make writing assignments much harder than they should be and this helped me just open up and write whatever was on my mind. Looking back I like my style of writing and enjoyed writing many of my posts.

 

In my Personal Writing Portfolio I showed how much my family and friends mean to me. I have expressed how anxious and nervous I am for the future and all that lies ahead of me. Writing in the midst of my last months of high school made my nostalgic side shine through. I am excited for the next chapter of my life but everything I will be leaving behind is just beginning to hit me and many of the things I mentioned in my blog will no longer be an everyday occurrence.

 

If I could describe myself in three words after compiling this portfolio they would be:

Ambitious- I want to get the most I can out of life. Whether it is in a career or just in general, I want to be the best I can possibly be. I want to take advantage of the opportunities I am given. I aim high and set goals I must work to achieve.

Caring- I am so blessed to have amazing people in my life whether it is my family, friends, or coworkers. I would do anything for them and I love putting a smile on people’s faces. I hate to see people I love hurting. I try to show those around me how much they mean to me and try to make them feel special.

Passionate- It could be something trivial like talking about baseball or The Office, or something meaningful in my life I put myself into everything I do. I don’t like to do things halfway and if something means something to me and I will pour my heart and soul into it.
