Today at USAO I learned that finding your voice in your writing is not always easy. At the beginning of the semester, I was determined to write in a motherly voice and all the things that are associated with being a mother and a student. My voice changed although, because my experience as a student is different because I am a mother, but that is not the only reason.
School is a different experience for everyone. Some take it more serious than others but it all depends on the individual. So it is only natural for everyone’s experiences to be different, but somewhat related, because we are all college students.
At the beginning of this course I thought it was going to be super easy. I love to express my ideas but blogging is more than just rambling. Which I learned from this course, it has to be more in depth than that. You can’t just write about what you learned but what that learning does to your life. Does it change your opinion? Make you discover something new about learning? The possibilities are endless.
This summer I learned so much from this class, that developing your voice in writing is important. If you don’t have a voice, you won’t be heard. I feel that my voice at the beginning was a bit whiney. I was talking about how “hard” my life is being a mother, student, and wife. I didn’t want to sound like that, so I changed. I know that in one of my blogs I talk about change and how it is beneficial it can be. I know I changed this summer and to be more optimistic about my learning experiences.
In conclusion, I learned this summer that being a student is more than just the hardships that are associated with it. It is all about your attitude toward your classes. You may surprise yourself and actually like learning new things.
