Nonfiction at its best

I have learned several important lessons from this class. Prior to this class I would shy away from writing because I feared that I would not "say it the right way". This has taught me that there is no "right way". It is okay to think outside of the box. You don't have to use "big" words to get your point across, and Nonfictional writing can be just as engaging (if not more) as Fictional writing.

It funny to think about it. Earlier today, I was talking to a friend and I told her of what I thought about this class. I reflected on the fact that sometimes I would begin writing, and not really know where I was headed, but as the words would pour onto the page, I would see things that I had never seen before. This class has taught me a new way of "seeing" the past. It has taught me a new way of viewing myself. I have found that my life, my story, is truly nonfiction at its best.
