I know right from the
get-go that the biggest thing I have taken away from this paper is a new
motivation to learn my family story. I come from a family that didn’t sit down
and tell stories all of the time. We spent most of our time in the here and
now. I learned about several ancestors I have never heard of before and I loved
learning more about them. On that side this paper was really positive for me,
but though I enjoyed researching my family stories, I had a considerably hard
time writing this paper. I don’t know if it was because of what was going on in
my life, if I am just bad at writing research papers, or if I just didn’t find
a subject that interested me enough, but I had a bear of a time getting the
length I needed. I also felt like I didn’t quite understand the citations, and
as always grammar kicks my behind.
I feel like this
paper allowed me to apply a lot of things I have been learning in other classes
this semester. I used principles I learned in other classes all throughout this
paper and it would have been very different if I had a different schedule. I
can see the things I am learning being applied elsewhere and that validates the
effort I’ve put in.
