Connection
I remember in sophomore yeah of high school we made a blog for our American lit. I don’t remember what it was called but we had to post on it 3 times a week. I thought it was stupid at the time but thinking back to it I would definitely take that then writing papers and such. I really didn’t learn anything from past class with wrong papers cause I would get a good grade or a decent if I don’t try but saw no improvement so now I’m giving this blog thing a go again. Reading that article gave me some will to start blogging more I guess.
