Good-Bye May Seem Forever, Farewell Just Like the End . . .

1. I really enjoyed writing my personal essay. I am not so good in imagine things. So it was easier for me writing about something that really happened and that I just had to reflect in a good way. The weakness of this genre is that the creativity of the writer is not completely free, because You have to relate to personal experience. I was surprised that I enjoyed writing the essay so much. It was fun because I could write about one of the best days in my life and it helped my remembering this day. I think I would like to write another personal essay. It would be more fun that writing fiction for me.

2. Reading is very important to create a good creativity and write. Other books of the same or other genres you gone write in can be a good way to get some ideas and improve your style of writing.

3. It was a good semester of writing for me. I am sure my written English improved a lot in the past 5 months. I enjoyed nearly all different types of writing. I enjoyed poems, because it was new and fun for me and I was surprised what I could do in my second language, especially because it was the first writing we did in this class. Writing fiction was probably the hardest thing for me, because I am not so good in imagine things and make up a good story. In the second Quarter we were writing plays and it was something completely new for me. I hadn't even done it in German, my mother language before. It is hard to keep in mind how you can realize things on stage. But it is a good way to tell a story, even if in the beginning I thought it would be very hard to describe all the action with just dialogue. And my most favorite of this year as I already mentioned was the personal essay.

Start of 2008

1. I live after the principle “Enjoy every day, life is short.” I learned in my life that everything always goes very fast and is over way too soon. You never know what could happen tomorrow. Don’t look for the special days because in every day is something special. Enjoy everything in life the bad experience, too because they make you stronger. The little moments in a normal day are the things that make your life beautiful und life worth. Living after this principle makes my life sometimes much easier, because I know everything has some sense in life. And if you don’t enjoy it you will miss it. ”Life is short, enjoy it!”

2. The thing that changed me happens every day. You can see it at news everyday and you can read it in the newspapers. When I see what we have. We can go to the supermarket every time we need something, when we are dursty we just have a glass of water and when we are cold we just put on some clothes. But there are other parts in the world where these things are a fight against nature for life every day. We take all the things for granted but for millions of people they would be a miracle. We sometimes have a time in life, when we think that our life is bad and unfair, but for other people our life would be the paradise. So before you complain about your life think about the really important things in life and the people who don’t have them.

3. In 2008 I am looking forward to finish my year in the USA. I am nearly halfway through and excited for the other half. I already had a good time, but I am looking forward to finish this year to see my friends and family again. My goal is to get as much as possible out of these next 5 months.
