Four words

1.)Open minded: whenever a new topic or scenario comes into play i like to be able to see it from all angles and views.
2.)Realistic: Seeing things for how they are and understanding what they are supposed to mean
3.) Curious: Being curious and open minded almost work off of each other because while still open to any other ideas or viewpoints from open mindedness, curiosity drives me to find out and know for myself.
4.) Loyal: I've always tried to be as loyal as possible either in my normal life or as a writer. Being loyal to a subject or to a viewpoint on an argumentative essay

my hope for this class is to have all four of these words make up my writing style by the end of the semester. Being open minded gives the capacity to consider another option which will be very helpful for most papers. Being realistic is helpful for peer reviews, it makes you able to tell your peer about what changes should be done to their paper, if any. Curiosity is going to help me out a lot in this class because if i come across a subject i'm not familiar with i'll want to figure out as much about it as  i could. Loyalty will come in handy for remembering to stick to one central theme on a paper and not t stray from it. hopefully with all of these traits combined i will improve as a writer.

Blog #1 self assesment

I am comfortable making comments in class,  if there's something on my mind the class would be better off knowing about it or if i don't understand something completely i will ask more about it. I do not very often go to the library but i have plans to go there this semester to focus on my work. I am going to try to be in class everyday or as often as possible so that i can be sure that i know the material completely. In terms of my own learning style, i think it is important to know that being faced with a new idea is no problem for me because i can get the hang of new ideas very easily. My happy place is in my room surrounded by my paintings and tapestries listening to music. The only two things that stand between me and my dream (as i'm sure they are for everyone else although they don't think about it) is society and money. sadly we all need society's acceptance in order to get anywhere in it, which normally doesn't work. Money is quite obvious, the world would revolve around it if it could because that's the only step that's missing so far. Something else you should know about me is i  have a very realistic approach to most things. In this class i hope to prove to myself what i can do.
