Self-Assessment

Blogging has never really been a huge passion of mine. For many years now I have lived around peers who have dedicated a huge part of their lives to blogging and others who held just as little interest as me. My initial impression of blogging was that it was just a bunch of people with no lives writing their opinions about subjects that really don't even matter all too much. I never quite understood the impact that blogging can have on certain aspects of our world. Until recently, when I began to blog in Mrs. Diaz's class, my general understanding and opinion of blogging began to change. I soon, realized that blogging held a type of individuality for people to be able to express their opinions in ways that otherwise would have been criticized if said verbally. For people who are too shy or timid to display their opinions, blogging becomes somewhat of a voice for people. For me, I am not too passionate about writing so blogging might not be for me. However, since our class has been assigned to blog, I have a much higher level of respect to this internet phenomenon.
As stated before, writing is not one of my passions and probably never will be. Im more of a science and mathematic based individual so english is not one of my strong points. However, even though my writing may not be on the level of a critically acclaimed author, I sometimes feel lost in my work when I am assigned to write essays in class. When I am asked to write about a subject that I can relate well to, I feel a type of connection in my writing to where the whole world around me disappears and all my attention is on the paper in front of me. In my lifetime, i have received a few A's, many B's , and a few C's and D's when it has come to essay writing. However, even though other people may believe my writing skills aren't up to par, I am proud of everything I have ever wrote.
