Week 8 Growth Mindset

Have I experienced growth during the course of the semester? The simple answer to a seemingly simple questions, but one that bares far deeper meaning is yes. Initially I was not sure my creative writing would be able to advance in any significant manner, however as the semester has worn one I have realized there is more to my personal abilities than I had previously given myself credit for.

 The writing requirements of this course have allowed for myself to grow creatively and in my own writing skills. It certainly has been no easy feat forcing my mind to reach beyond its traditional limitations to reach a new level of creativity. With half of the semester now over, there remains only a select bit of time to further my abilities and to continue growing in a progressive manner that will best suit me in the long run.

This course so far has certainly been challenging me to extend beyond my comfort zone when it comes to my writing abilities. Prior to this course my only writing experience centered around professional styles, mainly for school purposes, rather than personal enjoyment. In terms of upcoming stories I am excited for the Native American section that we will be introduced to in the week following Spring Break. In terms of connecting with my classmates, the course has allowed for me to experience a wide variety of different writing methods, based upon a wide variety of stories that I have never read prior. I look forward to the second half of the semester and the further experiences this course offers me.
