"Let me live, love, and say it well in good sentences."

Welcome to my final blog. I used Reflective Writing and Genres in Academic Writing: Reflection to help brain storm some of the ideas to write this blog . - Cheers
Genre awareness is types of genre for writing similar to genres of movies. things like magazines, reports, essay, etc. I feel like It had changed by writing more freely, than sounding like a robot. My memoir for example, I could never use explicit language to express how I feel. Its different, I feel like for my style of writing, using explicit language tells more to the reader than explaining the situation in a paragraph. As for my final paper. I would have been ok doing an MLA style type of paper but its too formal which makes it harder for me to do. If I had no other choice, I would have gone with it. I prefer something like an op-ed paper. It is different. No work cited just sources. I would take that deal any day.
My past writing experiences were just bad. I felt like I didn’t care, and it always ended up sounding robotic. The school I went to the English teachers (7th- 11th grade) it’s what I think the teacher wants to hear even though it’s an debate or a research paper. It doesn’t matter if its my opinion or not teacher pets and or other students who agree with what the teacher’s opinions are always getting better grades. It doesn’t even matter if the writing made sense at all sometimes. Majority of the teachers I had for English wants to hear what they want to hear. It just made me hate writing. It changed here after going to this course because I felt like I can write whatever in formal or not I think I still get graded fairly. I think I still need a lot of work since I never took English seriously, which I now regret. I don’t see myself writing a book or anything in the future but maybe a vlog here and there if I get out the discomfit of the camera.
