A Two Way Street

Throughout the course of this year I have become accustomed to the routine of blogging at the end of every week. In doing so, I have gained a wider perspective of our in-class discussions and the pieces we analyze. Most notably, have become much more personal. I associate them with personal experience and everyday life, in which I find that literature is a form of art that reveals the underlying meaning in the mundane. From the historical allusions of the Great Gatsby, to the modern and relatable essays such as Shooting Dad, blogging has become a form of reflecting the journey of life.
Although, most people would argue it is my chance to reveal my talent of ranting. Perhaps this is a sign I should not write my blogs when I am emotionally unstable. Who knows.
Be not just of failure but learn that time and development requires a set of patience accompanied by tolerance. My blogs reflect my growth and development throughout the course of 11 AP, and I have gained a greater understanding of myself in the process.
The beauty of sharing thoughts is not to undermine someone else’s but to expand upon your own and gain a wider range of perspective.
Although, I will admit I tend to take a narcissistic tone with my blogs and going into the mindset of “Pulitzer Prize Winner 2014”. If only.
Blogging is an opportunity to reflect on past, present, and future. It provides a leverage between then and now, and gives me a chance to stem into a higher understanding of life itself.

Blogging is a two way street between my development starting now and growth in the future.
