Step-up

Before, I didn’t give myself a rating of 1 because of the fear of not being able to live up to that but that’s no longer the case. I’ve gotten more confident with my qualities and skills as a media writer because of a whole semester’s worth of learnings and training. Thus, most of the ratings I gave myself increased – A step-up from the earlier ratings. Although, there’s still so much room for improvement in the years to come.

Being exposed to the exercises required in the lab class of Devc 11 played a huge role in the development of such qualities. The very foundation of all the exercises, which was data gathering required perseverance, resourcefulness, and imagination to exhaust all the possible information that would make the writing process easier. The lectures and exercises in the course worked hand-in-hand to develop the qualities that gave me enough boost of confidence to rate myself an uno for almost all the qualities as shown in the photo.

After one semester of being a devcom student, it taught me the challenges of writing for the mass. There were many things that I had to unlearn to fit in in the writing style of the course.

The simpler, the better.

Know thy audience.

Establish your objectives.

Carrying the attitude, principles, and mindset I developed this semester as well as the teachings, I’m ready to face what’s to come.
