The New Kind of Hybrid

This year as i am currently enrolled in a "hybrid" English course, it has taught me that not only do teachers look for a well-written paper, but they look for honestly, sincerity, and creativity as well. The curriculum in this English course is unique, but in a way, it has made me a better writer than i ever was. I like it because it has taught me to think outside the box, think of my own stories and events to write essays about, and interact with the rest of the students. Not that interaction was ever my downfall, but seeing how other students write, and getting feedback from fellow writers is a tremendous help when it comes down to that final draft.
Posting on these blogs has also motivated me to write, because i can write about whatever i want, be myself, and have students comment on what they think about it. In other courses, we were required to write an essay on a novel, or on a poem or short story that we read. Here, it is our story, or our novel. This is a great course to start the year off with, and i am very happy that it isnt all about somebody else's story. It is about my story, my fellow students stories, and all the interaction in between.
