What?
For one of my therapeutic recreation classes, we are assigned to write article critiques through out the semester. Yesterday, while writing an article critique, I realized that I was really enjoying it! I was interested in what I was writing and liked sharing my opinions about the article.
So What?
This was exciting for me because writing assignments have always stressed me out! I usually avoid them at all costs. I was using knowledge that I gained 2 years ago in my statistics class. In the past, I thought that class was pointless, but now I'm so grateful to have taken that class!
Now What?
In all of my future writing assignments, I'm going to focus on how I can use the assignments for progression and real-world application. Who'd 'a thunk? Writing can be fun :) I'm growing up!
I think our attitude makes a huge difference in situations like this. when we find a way to apply our assignments to something we are interested in or make them fun in some other way they are much easier to do. (This reminds me of some of the Calvin and Hobbes comic strips... "Calvin, go do something you hate, it'll build character" - Calvin quoting his Dad)
