The Transformation

In high school I was not a great student, I'm in no way implying that I am now, but my high school years were filled with lost potential and underachievement. I always knew I could do better though, and I knew that taking my high school courses more seriously is the only way I could pursue a higher education. I have always been able to write pretty well, but since I somewhat 'floated' through high school, my writing skills didn't really improve. As graduation time neared I became more scholastically involved, and I even began working harder to ensure my high school graduation. Trying to become a perfect student is quite an impossible feat to accomplish in a matter of weeks, but I graduated thinking I was ready college.
The first semester of college was a wonderful experience, but since I 'floated' through high school, I almost had the same mentality as I did while attending high school.  I started my college experience attempting to 'float', I soon realized that passing college easily would not really be easy at all! After I almost failed my first college course, I awoke immediately from the slumber of the lazy, and I began putting forth more of a scholarly effort. I used the term scholarly because my main view was to succeed, not just succeed, but I was motivated to pass all of my college courses with no grade being lower than an eighty-five percent average. Unlike my high school days, I began to study, read more, sometimes less interesting material, and I have endeavored to attend every class promptly.
Considering that I was a horrible student in high school and has since improved all of my working habits in an effort to succeed in college, I believe such behavior warrants the title Transformation. I am extremely motivated to do my best and make the best grades. The laziness that I previously displayed in my school work, began disappearing as I attended my college courses and I even attempt to complete assignments days in advance of the actual due date. I work harder on every assignment in college than any other assignments regarding my prior schooling. The effort that I make really surprises me sometimes! I am very happy of the progress I have made in only five months. In high school I was not a great student, but in college I have transformed into better.

Blog Post 9

I decided to title this blog post by its file name, blog post 9, in an effort to express my appreciation for these types of writing assignments. Instead of our class instructor, Tanya Sasser, having the entire class write weekly essays, she allows us to express ourselves freely with blog posts. I really appreciate this style of teaching because not only are writing blogs slightly fun, but I also learn how to improve my writing skills. I am able to make needed improvements or adjustments from the feedback I am given about my blog posts from the course instructor, Ms. Sasser.
Admittedly, the beginning of this course commenced rather bumpy; I had a rough start. I really was not comfortable writing blogs; neither did I enjoy using Google Plus. The first actual blog assignments that I completed, was not done to the best of my ability. Honestly, they were horrible! However, thanks to the feedback that I received from Ms. Sasser about my blog posts, I was able to make the adjustments and improve my writings. Subsequently, my blog posts actually got better. My writing is not perfect, but I show improvements with every blog post.
As I mentioned earlier, this blog post is an expression of appreciation for the teaching style of the course instructor, and since I had never written any blogs prior to this course, I am also grateful to have learned this writing skill. I have addressed certain ares of my writing with this blog post and I am sure that my future blog posts will be even better.
