Prior to spring break, there was a meeting arranged for myself to conference one-on-one with Professor Mangini. We talked about the standard appearance with my blog and worked our way through my pages, one by one. After discussing some small changes or fixes, we talked about my academic progress. I admitted to myself and to Professor Mangini that I was not doing my best and that I knew I could give more effort than what I was putting into the class and my work. We moved to my Reflective Dialogue and discussed the answers to certain questions pertaining my works and the class overall. Next we discussed my This I Believe Essay. Mr. Mangini complimented my choice of wording and mentioned that my writing was poetic. When he said that, I was very pleased with myself. We talked of other sentences that could be worded differently and the arrangement of my scenes. Overall, I was very pleased with the conference. It was very eye-opening to have such a respectable and honest conversation about my writing. I walked into that meeting wanting to be a 2nd grade teacher and walked out wanting to be a high school english teacher.
This semester I plan to get my feet on the ground and running. I know I need to stay on track of my blogs and put more effort into the works I produce. Our meeting really motivated me for the second half of the semester. I am ready to do things the right way this time and really improve my writing.
