China – Opening Thoughts China surprised me in ways more than one. Going into China‚ I knew that China has come a long ways since the days of Mao when people starved‚ just to keep up to their cultural beliefs. Yet‚ the sheer scale of development and the feeling of being in highly dynamic‚ fast growth‚ “everything is possible” mentality of China was overwhelming. Beijing and Shanghai are obvious examples of what China is hoping to achieve‚ but the development in interior areas like Suzhou and Chengdu

I am currently completing my service learning at Martin Luther King Elementary School working with children ranging from Kindergarten to 5th grade in an after school program. This program provides the children with a safe and comforting place to do their homework‚ hangout with their friends‚ and get a snack. Since I am just getting to know these children I do not know everything about them and their background‚ so I do not have a lot of examples that relate back to the class work we do. In class

As my English 101 class comes to an end there are many valuable lessons we learned in this class. We learned how to respond to the author. We learned how to write in the They Say/I Say style‚ which I plan on using this style to write in most of my papers from now on. Another lesson we learned in this class was how to create a thesis with tension. The lessons I learned in English 101 will most likely be used again as I progress on with English 102 as well as the rest of my college career. Responding

This is my second year at Winthrop. I transferred from Western Carolina University‚ and their English 101 class is like this course. It was about perfecting argument style writing‚ so I feel as though this class will partially feel like a repeat for me. However‚ we did not focus on learning to read‚ think‚ and write critically. I do believe this class will help with all of that‚ especially with reading. A lot of the time when I read‚ I feel like I am not understanding or comprehending what the author

In my General Studies Writing class at Bowling Green‚ we did not take part in learning any punctuation. We also did not review any form of this. I actually find it slightly strange that we did
