Being in this English 110 class I got the chance to learn new things. Not only new as in how to write but new as in my peers. I felt we have all learned so much from each other in these 10 weeks. Reading these personal essays was very interesting, and I actually enjoyed reading them. There are so many things that we all go through and to able to share them with the class you know this had to of been a good class. Some people wrote about sad experiences and some wrote about happy ones, but mainly I felt all of the experiences were life changing.
One essay I read about a little girl who had to escape from her father because of how possessive he was. Imagine having to go your whole childhood with a father that you and your mother is afraid of. Then him telling your mother that he was going to kill you. That had to been scary. Then finally your mother gets enough courage to leave him, which was really brave, and then you never seen your father again. This is all life changing because I know there are times where you would want to go find your dad but this person is happy for him not to be in her life anymore so then again I guess not.
There was another essay that was a little on the funny side. A young man and his brother crashed their grandparent’s golf cart. I don’t understand why they wouldn’t tell their parents if the brother had a little concussion because something could have seriously been wrong with him. Luckily everything was okay with him but I guess that’s what makes this essay so funny, that they kept it from their parents.
Another essay was pretty interesting to me. It was about an earthquake that happened in China a while back. This earthquake destroyed so much and so many people lost their lives. The part I find very interesting to me is the fact they found a little baby alive right underneath the mother. So the mother saved her child’s life for hers which any mother would do, I know I would. It’s just a great thing that they found the baby, and I am sure the whole situation had to affect a lot of people.
Overall, all of these essays is different and we all go through so many different situations. I think it is because this class is so diverse, it seems like none of us have the same story to tell. I will miss this English 110 class, and I know we will all achieve great things in our lives. These experiences that we go through will only make us stronger.
