In high school, I hated being forced to write papers about uninteresting topics, especially in AP Literature. I didn’t enjoy these classes, but instead I liked writing that allowed for more freedom about something personal to me. When I began college, I was comforted with the fact that I wouldn’t have to take anymore English classes because I had already had passed exams that counted towards credit for ENC1101 and ENC1102. I realized that I was mistaken when I discovered I had to take ENC2135 for a requirement at FSU. Walking into class at the beginning of the semester, I had expected it would be similar to every other English class I have taken. However, I was worried when I saw the word “research” in the title of the class. I absolutely hated research papers. I had done several research papers for duel enrollment in which I had quickly grown tired of. The small class size and the really relaxed instructor, Mat Wenzel, made me feel comfortable each time I came to class. The only way the class could’ve been improved upon is if I had taken in later in the day. Waking up early got really tiring for me.
