Throughout the semester, my home life has been very hectic. Incredulity clouded my mind and I wasn't sure if I was going to make it through school in the midst of working and dealing with my own issues at home. But here I am, writing my final blog post. My writing holds several themes, to which I hope the readers find for themselves. They show forms of personal growth, though how I've transitioned to college and stuck through it, despite all of the discrepancies in the mix. I try to be honest in my writing, because I want to be as true to myself as possible, even if it doesn't please everyone who sees it. These themes and many others show themselves in my writing, even though it might not be professional writing, or the most clean, it's a reflection of who I am, and I'm proud of my little blog.
What a long semester it's been. I've fought through initial nervousness of being in college, made new friends, and man I have grown up a lot, for bettor or worse. Sabatino asked me to answer this question in this post " What does my digital portfolio say about me (my story) as a writer in this class?". I feel as though the layout of my digital portfolio has a nice clean, easily navigable layout that will get you where you need to go. The artwork I've chosen reflects me as a writer through my inspirations (i.e. Travis $cott, Young Thug), in addition to showing my personality. I don't take most things with a grain of salt and I am pretty aloof in most situations. Most of the artwork can be looked upon ironically or however a visitor to my blog wishes to view it, who am I to judge what others think.

Ben, I'm glad we have met. I admire your courage to be truthful and write about what happens in your life. It's inspiring. Maybe one day I will write of my tales from when I was your age. Who knows? I really enjoyed the second draft of your one-semester memoir. Though I've never been to Naylor's Run, I felt like I have after reading your memoir. I had a similar experience when I was your age. I had a big click of buddies and we had our own spot in the woods. Sadly, it was plowed down and is now a McDonald's. Your memoir is one that a lot of people can relate to. The transitioning from adolescence into adulthood. Don't be a stranger. Hit me up sometime, slime.
