Who doesn’t want an A?

This week I will blog about my thoughts on what my grade for this project should be and why.
Who doesn’t want an A?
Huuuuum, you ask me, what do I think that my grade should be. If it was really up to me, and I was to give myself a grade, I would have to say that I would give my self an A. But wouldn’t we all, at least most of us would. But for sympathy, I would tell you, Dr.Homan, that I think that you should give me an F, so that you would spare me and end up giving me an A. But in all actuality, when I sit up and contemplate about the grade that I deserve, I would have to say that I should receive a B, at least.
When I was writing my blog I was really considerate as far as grammar, syntax, punctuation, and things of that matter. I would insert commas and periods in places that I thought that they were needed, and if there were errors then I am just a poor writer to begin with. I went into every blog with the idea of it being an essay, and that is the way that I wrote them, somewhat. In doing this, I was trying to make your, the reader’s, job easier and smoother, so that you wouldn’t have to be caught up on the mistakes and the flow of my writing.
I think that I deserve at least a B, also because of the content and substance that I put into every blog. I feel as if I have exposed myself on every blog that I have written, and in a way I feel a little vulnerable. I talk about my how much I enjoy working with children and running around with the children, “while I have this image to uphold.” I think that I really deserve an A for that alone, that took balls. Every blog that I have written has had straight content and substance from the beginning to the end. The entire blogs were related to the topic and there was never any time that I would veer off and go on to talk about something that was totally irrelevant from the topic. I can’t recall me adding any fillers in any of my blog either, and that was hard. Me and my co-classmate were saying today, how we think that all of the question from all of the blogs can be answered in one 1000 word blog, so writing 1000 words on each blog was not easy. I do not even want to imagine how hard it was to write 2000 words per blog, as they did semester before us; that seems nearly impossible when 1000 word seems like a novel. I think that all of the people in the previous semesters deserved A’s because there is no way…
I think that I deserve at least a B, because all of my blogs were at least 1000 words. It was not easy to fill up a 1000 word blog that had a question that I think, and I am sure that most of my classmates can vouch for me when I say, “that all of the questions could have been answered thoroughly in about 5 lines.” Do you know that 1000 words are about 3 pages double spaced? Even in the English courses that I have taken, my essays and papers were expected to be around 3 pages, and we only wrote about 5 of those for the entire semester. I did not expect to do so much writing in a theology class. Then on top of these blogs, we were expected to write two 5 page papers and do reading from the text. I AM NOT COMPLAINING. It may sound like it, but I am not. It jus that I have realized that it was a lot when I sit down and think about it and compare it to the amount of writing that I have done in the past, and that I have done in my other courses.
I think that I deserve at least a B, because I feel that the amount of work that I have put in each of these blogs and into this project is beyond average material. I know that I deserve better then a C for that simple reason, and I chose a B because it was the next best thing after a C. I think that this sort of free writing, that these require is something that I am at least decent at. I know that I am not the best when it comes to writing an essay, or doing a reach paper, but I think that I fair well when it comes to writing about something that I have experienced first hand. I think that I, well as least I tried to make all of the blogs interesting so that they wouldn’t be a bore to read, so shouldn’t that be enough to give me at least a B.
I think that I deserve at least a B, not just because of my writing of my blogs, but also because of what I have done, and how I have this whole new change of mind set. Think about it, we are all helping to change the “world,” even if it is just going to visit the Child Care Center that is right across the street. This is big. We all have future plan to further change world and help others in need, don’t you think that we all deserve A’s for that. Not that these blogs are not important when it comes to lightening the problems of the world, but I only see these blogs as documentation as the things that we have done. It goes much further then that. I think that the real work is the actions that we have all taken to better the world and solely because of that, I think that we all deserve an A in the end.
