Throughout the semester, my writing and thought towards writing has changed drastically. In my previous writing composition class, I didn’t have a passion for writing. The topics that we were assigned in WRC 1013 didn’t interest me nor relate to anything that was going on in the world. This all changed when I took this course.

Many people struggle with who they are. Some people use those awkward teen years to figure it out while others may have had such a hard childhood that they don’t figure it out until they’re adults.
