Week 5

Happy Week 5 everyone!

It is hard to believe that we are already more than half way through this course. I look back and realize how much I have improved not only in my writing skills, but also in my proofreading skills. Since the first class I attended I have now carried over what I know in my everyday life. I read bulletins and correct them. I read books and look for errors. I have come to appreciate a less wordy essay. The biggest improvement I have made is writing a clear and concise paper. I can tell that I have made improvements not only by the work that I write, but by the proofreading this week. I was able to point out so many mistakes and omit many words within the essay. We have been critiqued hard on our work, but in doing do Professor Aggen has taught me more than any english teacher has. She has taken the time to explain and show examples which helps me tremendously. I am retaking the TAP test this month and I feel more confident than I have in a while.

I have been enrolled at Trinity Christian College for a couple years not and am closing in on the end. I am excited to have my own classroom and be able to work with students with special needs. They need support and an advocate and I am ready to be that for them. I would not be anywhere near finished without my support system in my life. My parents and family have been nothing but supportive to me. Through all the major changes they have been there. Although we have not seen eye to eye all the time, they always have prayer for me and encouraged me in the end. My faith has been by far the biggest support system for me. I have been through trials in my life, but through it all God has never left my side. Even when I was alone and discouraged, he reminded me that I am able to do anything with him by my side.
