Week 8 Comments and Feedback

Feedback
I feel like in this class it could be really easy to feel like the work that we do is insignificant and that it does not matter; the comment portion of the class really does help to eliminate these thoughts. I have really enjoyed having the opportunity to receive positive feedback and constructive criticism from my peers because it makes me feel like other people really do care about what I am doing and what I like to write about. 

Giving other feedback on their work has definitely been a challenge for me, because I want to make sure that what I am saying comes across in a kind, but also helpful way. Something I have tried to dow when writing comments is staying focused on the writer and the piece that they are writing rather than myself. This tip really has helped me a lot. 

Recently, I have noticed more and more peers giving me and others feedback on things like sentence structure and grammar and I think that this is something that I could do more of moving forward.

Story, Week 11

Looking Back As Julia sat on the big comfy chair by the foggy window in the coffee shop she took in everything. It was a normal New York afternoon, cloudy skies, a brisk breeze, and the sky looked as if it was about open up heavy rains on the city. In this moment, Julia could not be more content. She was looking out on her favorite city while sipping the best latte. She thought to herself, “ my life is perfect, I cannot believe I almost missed out on this ” .   Julia thought back to a year ago when she refused to move to New York City because she was afraid and did not think she would be successful. She remembered arguing with her parents and telling them that they had no business in where she lived and that they should stop pressuring her to move. Julia almost let out a small giggle because she was so silly to think that this move would have been anything but beneficial. When Julia first arrived in New York, she was really here for the inspiration that this big city w...
