Week 13
13) Student Choice: 500 words or 5-minute video. You author content that includes a title, category, and a reflection about your experiences in this class. Consider specific assignments, specific readings/films, specific conversations, and/or specific processes that helped you learn and grow. Introduction In the reflection that I've provided below, I will be talking about the importance of revision, and how I never had to revise as intensely in any other classes, like I've done in this class. This paper will also focus on How the revision of my Life-Choice Memoir Circles evolved through out the semester. Reflection In the semester that I've spent in the class I've learned many skills, but in this blog post I want to talk about the skill I believe to be most Important. The skill I learned the importance of, is to continuously revise my work, and writings. I remember when the first time I had to hand my first draft of Circle. I thought my content was solid and I was only going to have to revise maybe 5 minutes of work, before handing in my final copy. I quickly found out that that wasn't true, there was room for improvement everywhere. I then completed my 2nd copy of the Circles, after about 3 hours of taking out paragraphs and adding completely new ones, thinking this was going to the final draft. Quickly after handing in my 2nd draft it came to my acknowledgement that I could make my Story even more vivid, and entertaining. This lead me to complete my 3rd and final version of Circles, and here I would once stand thinking that Circles is a masterpiece, and unable to get any better. I now know that even my final copy of Circles will still be able to be edited, and if it wasn't for the sake of time I could probably create 50 more drafts before I had it close to perfect. "If shake spear was still around he would still be revising Romeo and Juliet" -Sabatino Mangini I'm not sure if anyone remember's this quote from the middle of the semester, but this is one of the thing's that I will be able to take with me through the rest of my life, we will never have a perfect copy of anything, but the earlier you start a project the more time you have to revise to reach your goal. The importance of starting early and revising our work is something that I cannot just forget about, It's something that I must strive to constantly do for my following semester's if I hope to achieve my goals of being a successful person, graduating college, and having a great paying job, so that I will not be one of the people who get stuck in the Rut, of working to just pay their rent, and working there hands down to the bones, until they cannot continue to work anymore. Lastly I would like to thank everyone in my group, hoping that at least one of you guys read this. I hope you all learned the importance of revision and, good luck to everyone on your next semester.
