That is a rewarding read. It is so positive! It is sad to hear that joining ELL has knocked your confidence, but I guess that is to be expected as studying English literature is such a massive leap from language acquisition class (ELA). It is very good news that you found the seminar session so motivating, even to the extent where you acknowledge having the confidence to interrupt one of the most confident speakers in our class 🙂 I also like how you label the seminar a ‘game’. That might be a good way for me to present it to less confident students! I might quote your article in my own research 😉
However, there are a few points you can improve:
1. Where you have used quotes, you need to indicate where the quote came from – the source of the quote.
2. There are quite a lot of grammar errors. Check these carefully. Does the wavy red line appear when you are writing? That can help you identify errors before you publish your work.
3. Use images to make your work look more immediately attractive to readers. in particular, try adding a ‘featured image’ as this will display in the blog listings and make your work look more attractive than other posts.
It is evident that we all need to express our thoughts and discoveries courageously and unhesitantly. I’m glad you realized the importance of confidence and speaking up when you have something to say. I agree that travel is valuable and precious and the other proclaimations you stated in your reflection. Keep going, and as you stated yourself, cherish your life, and do your best.
