Writing this blog for my Writing 150 class in my first semester of college at BYU has been a positive experience. This is my first blog, and I was surprised at how simple it was to post stories and pictures. Participating in the creation of this blog has allowed me to see all the things I have accomplished and to record stories that might not have ever been recorded.
Creating a blog has allowed me to see my overall progress, both in my first few months at BYU and also throughout my whole life. When I first began, I wondered if I would have anything interesting to write about because I did not feel like I had done anything particularly special.. When Sister Steadman encouraged us to include pictures, I decided to plug my camera memory card into the computer to see if I could find anything. I found all sorts of fun memories to write about that I could not believe I had forgotten. I enjoyed looking through photos and writing about them because it reminded me of all the great things I have accomplished.
Publishing blog posts has also helped me to record stories that never otherwise would not have been written down. My personal narrative, rhetorical analysis, restaurant review, and even the final presentation have taught me numerous ways to record my family history. I learned how to make stories that did not seem interesting enough to write about very fun and entertaining for me and my family to read in the future.
Overall, participating in the creation of a blog was a positive experience because it has enabled me to discover all of the things I have accomplished and to record my personal experiences. I can also see this blog as a way to show my friends what I am doing here at BYU. I liked being able to customize my blog to my favorite colors, and I enjoyed following everyone else in the class and seeing all the creative ideas. I am excited to show my family what I have been working on these past few months.
