Writing has always been one of the things I'm passionate about. Whenever I have something on my mind, I write it down or type it in my notes. No matter how small or pathetic it seems, I would still write it down, because you never know when you're going to come back to it and create something big, out of inspiration. People would think that a person like me would write poems or new ideas. That's totally true, but I also write recipes, grocery lists, hate lists, and literally anything else that comes to mind. I'm the type of person who doesn't like to miss anything, forget everything and who likes to include everything. People would say I'm a perfectionist or a control freak and as much as I'd hate to admit it, it's true. Although these traits can hinder my writing process, over the course of this school year I have learned to embrace them. When I write an article, I usually tend to write and revise at the same time. I could never continue writing without correcting my mistakes and making sure everything looks perfect. However, throughout this course, it made me realize that I should write down everything I was thinking when I wrote a paper, just like I would in my notes. Later, I should revise and edit my article, making sure to reduce off-topic ideas and sentences. Plus, I'm the type of person who likes to write without limits. Writing my research argument essay made me realize that I could stick to a structure while bending the rules a little. When we started this assignment, I was really excited to research and write about a topic I'm passionate about. When we were asked to make a plan, I was disappointed. I had the impression that I was not able to form ideas or specify my subject, let alone write...... in the middle of a paper...... before, sometimes In the middle of a discussion, people forget that there are two sides to the story and not everyone has to agree with yours. What we learn from our books or studies is not necessarily important. What is important is what we learn from our peers and our teachers. Learning is more than absorbing facts, it is gaining understanding and it is being passionate about the material you are given. Every article we read in class and every comment we make has an impact on someone, no matter how small. Education systems focus too much on effective teaching methods and not enough on effective learning methods. However, this class felt like we were learning something instead of trying to complete the program. As Albert Einstein once said, “Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think ».”.
