My dearest writing 150 class; now that you are gone, I can hardly even believe it. If only I spent more time with you, and made every minute worth that time, I would feel so much better about myself. You had so much to offer, if only we looked for it and did our best to utilize it. Every day I thought about you, and every day I would put you off, until I finally had to give in to spend hours and hours with you. Now that you are gone, I am feeling awfully guilty for being so stingy with you and our time together. Why would I put off something so wonderful for as long as I could? Writing 150, you are hardly something that isn't worth it. I have learned so much from your constant guidance and care for my own education. You tried so hard to get the people around you to learn and apply the principles of a good writer. We have gone through a lot together, and yet I still feel like it wasn't enough. I have grown so much with you, and still I feel like I could have grown more. I am now a master at persuasive writing and using rhetorical techniques, but I still feel inadequate compared to you. You gave so much to people, without getting much in return; and that is a quality that not many possess.
If only I could explain how many people you have affected during your lifetime. You have been there in the good, bad, and the ugly from the very beginning. However, I misinterpreted your existence, and only spent so much time with you because my grades depended on it; meaning I really had not other choice. I feel so guilty about this now! Little did I know that writing, although a lot of work, could be so enjoyable. I actually learned how to enjoy writing because of you, but I didn’t realize it until you were gone how much that I really would miss you. As I move on in my life, I hope to always remember you and all the things that you taught me, because I know that they will be useful to me in the future. I thank you for all that you gave me, and I am sorry for not giving you much in return. Rest in peace.
This is so emotional,I wanna cry but I do not know why.
ReplyDeleteIt was interesting how you learned to enjoy writing. I absolutely agree with you that this class was amazing! I will miss it also! Good job in setting the tone of your post.
ReplyDeleteI also learned a ton in this class and I know it will help me in future classes. I have also learned how to use rhetoric to get my point across.
