A Reflection of Spring Quarter..........

English 98 has come to a close, summer quarter is just around the corner. I really enjoyed all that I learned in my English 98 class, learning how to write effective essays being the most challenging of all lessons learned. Learning about blogging was a surprise to me, as I never expected that to be a part of the curriculum. At first I wasn't all that excited about the idea, but it eventually grew on me. Since I have always enjoyed writing, starting a blog provided another way for me to express myself, and share it with others. I may not get many comments, but that is OK, this has been a great outlet for me. I wasn't sure I wanted to continue with this blog, but after having so much fun doing an e-portfolio, I decided to continue with blogging. Since then I have become interested in reading other blogs and leaving comments. I have added links to some of the blogs I found interesting to read to share with you. I also decided to keep the link to my e-portfolio for anyone interested in seeing some of my work done in my English 98 class. I still have a way's to go in perfecting my writing techniques, but ever willing to continue learning more. Moving on, with summer quarter around the corner, I will be sharing my new learning adventures, stay tuned............

It is the journey's of Samantha and her father as they attempt to climb Mt Everest, one of the 'Seven Summits'.
