Reflection On Construction And Construction

My theme for this portfolio is Construction and how it relates to the writing process, and since I have always been keen to building things and I am perusing engineering as a future career, I thought this was very relevant. At the beginning of this class I had no clue that my passion for engineering and building could be transferred into my writing, but I have learned through this class how to relate the formation of my essays to the construction of something more like a house.
