Dear Engl 210, 

I enrolled in this class as a requirement, but am eager to take it, nonetheless. I expect to be writing every day for the next few months, as I am taking a few writing intensive classes this semester. I look forward to it, but one thing I will need to get used to is sharing my work. I am a perfectionist and am thankful to live in an era where the backspace key exists, and I don’t have to erase on a typewriter. 

I am excited to learn as a group. It is proven that skills improve with practice, and the more we write and share, the more naturally it will come. I expect my classmates to be open to learning and sharing as well, and together, I expect to grow as writers and critical thinkers.

I haven’t taken an English class in over a decade but recognize the importance of expressing oneself through words in everyday life. I expect us all to be able to exercise patience and try to come from a place of understanding, and lastly, hope to be able to develop as communicators in deciphering the world around us.

Cheers,

Rachel
