#21) Blog Evaluation

At first, I wasn’t excited to write a blog. I didn’t think I had anything to write about and kept putting it off. When our class was asked to comment on five blogs, I changed my mind. I realized that my posts didn’t need to be research papers and that they should reflect me and my personality. With this in mind, I decided that I wanted write about the lessons I have learned at BYU. I decided that my blog wasn’t the place to talk about boys and my dating experiences and found that I probably would have regretted it if I had. In my room I have a chalkboard that I often write inspirational quotes on. These quotes really make me think when I see them every day as I enter my room. When I was writing I added some of these quotes and scriptures to my posts that went along with my stories. It was fun to also add pictures of friends and family. As I kept posting, I really grew to love my blog. I noticed that I often wrote about my family, spiritual experiences and past memories I have had in high school and how I have changed since then. I feel like my blog really made me realize what I have learned from my experience at BYU. Even though no one really reads my blog, I hope that I can bring inspiration to at least one other person. Maybe I’ll have to have my mom read it sometime. Overall, I really enjoyed the assignment of writing a blog and am so grateful I did. Now I can look back and recall experiences that I probably would have forgotten if I hadn’t written them down. Sister Steadman, thank you for assigning such a fun assignment. I really enjoyed your class and am going to miss it next semester.
