My senior year of high school, twenty other students and I were on course to take English 101 and 102. Right before the year began, Abbeville High School ended the class and we were all moved into Advanced Composition Honors. As you might have guessed, this class consisted of a lot of writing. Each week, the teacher would select a new topic and we would write about it. We were assigned at least one or more papers for the class each week. For me, writing is just not a very fun activity to partake in. Never the less, we were forced to complete the papers and finally got through the year. I dreaded going to that class each day and it is probably my least favorite class of all time. Yet I can not deny that after taking that class my writing is much better and I can put together a paper more effectively than before.
The teacher did an excellent job job of making me think about the topic and taught me to look at it from as many different perspectives as possible. In the class I learned different styles of writing and that you can write a tremendous amount from the even the littlest piece of information. As the year ended I could tell that there was much more of my personality in my writing and my opinion showed more than ever. Even though it wasn't my favorite class ever, the experience changed me into a much better writer and showed me what good writing is.

Ah, practice makes perfect.
I had a middle school class like that, where every week was writing, vocabulary, etc., but my writing went from good to bad. I like how you learned different styles of writing and that your personality comes through more in how you write now. Thanks!
