As I started working on my final portfolio Monday night, I was surprised by how easily everything came to me. When I first found out that we would have to revise our previous essays, I was worried about not being able to. When I was first editing my essays to turn in the rough draft, I read them over and over, but I was never able to add more to them. I had said all I wanted to say, but still hadn't quite reached the page requirement. I ended up giving up and turning in the shorter than required essays.
Now that it has been a while since I've looked at my essays, I can see them in a new light. Armed with new experience and a handful of advice, I have already added a lot to my research essay and have fulfilled the original page requirement. My personal essay is still harder for me to write, as was expected, but the words definitely come easier to me than the first time I wrote it.
I hope there are others who are finding this project easier than expected, because although it may not seem like we learned a lot of concrete material this semester, I think that everyone has improved their writing since taking this class.
