While making my first-year schedule, hearing that I had to take another English class did not make me very happy. I had always struggled in English courses in high school and was so glad that they were over, but this course changed my way of thinking.
This was no basic English course as only students that had previously been awarded their Associate’s Degree could enroll in it and skip the beginner English 165 course. Being an upper-level course, the professor was kind of harsher on us than his normal students, but that pushed me to work even harder.
My writing skills improved greatly over the semester as we learned new techniques and styles of writing. My favorite paper out of the four we wrote had to be the historical paper about the strike at the Moton Museum. The Moton Museum is in Farmville and we actually visited it to learn more about the history behind the strike. After learning about how people lived and were treated back only a few decades ago, that made me want to put my best effort into this paper and that is why it is my artifact. This paper meant a lot to me since I grew up in the south only an hour away in Halifax, Virginia. I learned that not everyone was treated equally and we needed to put a stop to it.
