Favorite assignment

There have been loads of assignments this year that I could choose my favorite one is the last blog called "A Good Experience with Poetry." Maybe it's because it is most fresh in my mind, but I thoroughly enjoyed completing this blog. The assignment was to "consider my poetry background" and "write several paragraphs on how it positively affected" my life. And then I had to share about how I feel about poetry now.
I really enjoyed this assignment because it was the first time I connected with what I was writing about, and I felt purpose when writing the blog post. One contribution to why I may have liked this particular post could be that I finished it on a Wednesday, when far too often I finish blogs on Saturdays, but I don't think that was the main reason. I really got to voice my opinion while writing and I felt like I accomplished something when I was done. I liked that I finally was able to express my own thoughts and emotions in my work, instead of what I was supposed to write about and someone else's ideas.
Another key reason that I enjoyed this assignment so much was that ever since I seem to be writing poetry far more often. Before the post I wrote a poem her and there. I was stressed out beyond belief and I felt overloaded with everything going on in my life. But now that I am writing at least a poem a day I feel much more serene. This post gave me the opportunity to find something that helps me think more clearly. I am grateful for the assignment, because finding a better way to express myself has made all the difference.
