Read your first entry on your blog (August 22nd: Why did you choose the University of Mississippi?) and your first semester’s final reflective post. Pull the most significant lines out of each and type them at the top of today’s daily write. Now, reflect on these. What do you notice about the differences between the two? The similarities? How do you feel you’ve grown/changed/transitioned since then? As an academic? In your social life? With friends/family?
“Ole Miss has everything I could want in an university and makes me content that I’m doing everything I can to ensure that I will get where I want in life.”
“I shook that fear that I might look like I don’t have everything figured out and put myself out there and that shows me that Writing 101 has benefitted me in ways four years of prep school never could.”
This whole year has helped me grow as a person but it’s also showed me that by being here at Ole Miss I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be. Ole Miss is where I need to be and no matter if I was supposed to go to another school or not I ended up where I was supposed to.
