How my writing has changed
Over the past few months Cornerstone has changed my writing greatly. It has changed its structure, clarity, and depth.
My writing has changed structurally. In the fact that now it actually has some now. In high school I knew enough about how to write, but not. By this I mean I knew what one teacher wanted in high school, but I did not know how to write in the world of Academia. I had never used APA style before coming to college and the first time I tried I was a google-ing fool. I now know where to look for help. Cornerstone also helped me learn how to effectively use transitions in my writing. Before I would just jump from point to point and my papers never sounded good when I read them. Transitions have greatly helped the structure of my writing and the clarity.
Ever since I was young I have struggled and saying what I need to say. I still struggle with this, but in the past few months I have gotten so much better. I am able to write a full sentence without changing topics in the middle. I am also able to make an effective thesis. This was one of my biggest struggles, because I did not realize just how poorly I had been taught to write theses. Once I knew how to properly write a thesis so my paper had a main point the rest of the paper became so much easier to write. A properly written thesis most likely had something to do with the depth of my papers.
In high school I did not have topic which required me to think about someone else’s emotions. This was a new level of depth for my writing. I had no clue how to get into a characters mind and discover why they did the things they did. I also did not know how to look for depth in the book. This is something that hindered my writing at first, but I got better. I improved so that I could now look at someone else words and see them as more. I saw them as the glass that held the water in an aquarium. I was only seeing the glass and none of the beauty inside of others writing. This made me realize that I needed to fill my aquarium with something worth while. This helped polish my witing.
My writing has gone from okay to above average. I am now able to do so much more with words. Cornerstone has greatly helped three areas of my writing: structure, clarity, and depth.

Second Semester
My writing has taken another step forward. I have become a much stronger writer. I can put how I feel clearly in something. I can now put passion into words much easier. I found that the writing I did for this class was the biggest help for my other classes. What this class has taught me will be invaluable throughout my college career.
