Writing: A Tool for Life

In the past twelve weeks I have worked toward writing a research paper that required my subject to have a scientific controversy. This was a fun and challenging experience. Putting sentences together should be a simple elementary task to accomplish but I have learned that that those simple little words did not do a thing for the content of my paper except take up space. I learned how to revise my sentences to delete those small words and still have a proper sentences. I have also learned how to properly use commas, semicolons, and colons.Those were probably the most confusing for me because I always thought separations in ideas of a sentence should be done with the comma; so untrue.
Writing was once a very scary task for me.This course has really helped me to see beyond my fear and use writing more as a tool than a chore. Thanks to all my fellow classmates and the wonderful professor that helped me get there!
