About Me:
Hello! I am joaquin saenz i am a freshmen here at the university of new mexico, i am currently studying architecture and am slowly getting used to the hustle and bustle of college life one of the classes i am taking is english i went into the class not sure what to expect other then common english class things and i was greeted with quite a lot of writing as i am one who isn't quite the best with writing but over the course of the semester i found myself quite fond of writing as at the start of the semester i had a hard time writing or being able to sit down and write for extended periods of time or even the motivation to write so i tried different strategies to help me write such as moving myself into a stable environment to help keep me calm and focused without any distractions as i would sit in the library or my dorm and write out what i needed too and for how long as it took me sometimes i would listen to music as it would help me relax and focus better on the task at hand. But some of the other troubles i would face as a writer was i simply wasn't used to writing as much as i would normally start it off on paper and now using a computer i have found it faster and easter to write and type as it allows more flexibility and spell check as i didn't have the best penmanship so changing to write on something such as a computer is really helpful for me and i believe it has helped me as a writer and made me improve so much and even though i still had challenges to face throughout this semester i found quite a bit of changes but overcame them in what i learned in class and got used to the writing process as well as learning new writing process such as MLA, MWA and SWAs as i have not known about them before and only started using them this year and it was interesting using a new writing style and elements it also helped as for each writing assignment we were given a topic to base off our writings on as we went through out the year we started to grab all sorts of writing material filled with the topics we were given such as discord communities as we would write about communities we were in and how we felt about them and some of the lingo we would use and just give an insight about who we were and what we were about in the comminutes. And soon we learned about food memories and other writing prompts throughout the semester but overall i believe my writing skills have improved as i have written so much this semester and done a lot with my writing as i was telling stories i never even told before and expressed my true feelings about my communities and memories which lead down some nice roads but all in all i am grateful for taking this class and what is instore for me in 1110 and how i am going to use these new writing techniques and formats in the coming semester and more to come.
