After completeing the course of ENG 1020, I feel that I have really learned who I am as a writer. I have learned how to use the internet as a useful research tool, and I have become aware of countless online databases that are good to use for research. I have created my first online blog, I have created a very useful Delicious social bookmarking account which I can utilize for future work. I have learned extensively about the intriguing topic of Juvenile Life without Parole prison sentences, and learned how to develop a well-thought out research paper. From basic research, to finding acceptable sources, to creating MLA documentation, I feel that we, as a class, really covered all the needed and required skills to create a research paper I can be proud of.
I really enjoyed this class, and I want to thank you Professor Clark for helping me advance my writing skills. I will have these skills for future classes and as I head in to the real-world work force.

ENG 1020-RJA#14a
For my application project, I have chosen to do an editorial. It is a basic editorial, where I have expressed my opinions and thoughts on the topic of juvenile life without parole prison sentences. The morality of juvenile lwop, the pros of it, the cons of it, and some statistics are only a fraction of things that are in my editorial. This application project has been sort of a "cool-down" session now that the research paper is over and done with, and it has been fun being able to pretend I am writing an editorial that thousands of people will read.
What I have accomplished so far for my application project is about 575 words. Knowing that the rough draft is due on Thursday May 6th, I am feeling very confident with where I am now. Over the next few days, I will be finishing my paper reaching the 1200 word minimum. I will have to write the accompanying essay as well. After that, I will be ready to hand in my application project.
What I still need to do for my application project is the accompanying essay. I will need to add more words to the editorial to reach the 1200 word minimum. I need to have a couple friends to read my work, I always feel like it is crucial to have multiple pairs of eyes to look over my written work. They can usually catch a grammatical mistake or two that I might not ever have caught. After all this, I will turn in my final application project.
