Essay #1 Workshop

I really liked having the time to get with other students and hear their feedback about my essay. I have always had trouble sharing my writing with people other than my mom or people that I am really comfortable with. It was tough to share some of my more personal experiences with people where all I know about them is their name. Though I think it is good for me to open up with more people and let more people read the things I write. I am simply very self-conscience and it’s hard to hear if someone didn’t like what I wrote especially when I write poetry. However, this past class when people commented on my piece they seemed to like it. It definitely helps boost my depleted ego and self-esteem. I also had fun reading what other people had written about in their essays. I mean it is always fun to give a little criticism …haha just kidding. But it is good experience to be able to read other people’s work and make comments on it.
