A Seminar Workshop About Creative Writing

Name: Alcayde, Mariah Irish R.

Section: ABM 12-1

 I have learned from my last webinar about “A Seminar Workshop About Creative Writing”, although Creative writing is not related to my course or what I want, I think I can also use it for some cases as well as it gives me an option and opportunity to think more for my future job and course I take when I get into college. I realize also here that even though I don’t want the topic (essays or writing, etc.), I’d enjoyed the discussion because the speaker, Mrs. Ailene Perez gives us more information and new knowledge (I think it is only for me or some ABM students who attended because there are HUMSS students with us that I think they are more knowledgeable about creative writing, our topic), that I didn’t have yet hear to my past English teacher or lessons or maybe I just forgot the lesson. At first, I was feel nervous because she was calling names that I thought I can’t answer her question, but I realized that calling our names to recite and answer is for us to motivate and have self-confidence and self-trust for us to recite.

   Creative writing is not easy, but it was fun for me because it requires me to write in detail about what I want to explain or say, and it requires us to utilize our ideas and thoughts, which I find interesting. Then I realized that maybe I should give myself a chance to learn more about writing and essays because on my last webinar on creative writing, I just noticed the things that I hadn't noticed before, such as the words that were expanded with the detailed to make the conversation or the topic more interesting and colorful, unique. I realize that nothing in the world is easy, all things are hard and we just need to learn and hard work for it for us to learn and used to it. But I also realize that if you don’t have any interest or like the topic/something and you don’t give any chance to learn about it, you might fail. Lastly, I just want to add and this is not related to the topic but when I was listening to our last webinar about creative writing, I realize that I should fill in the forms correctly and review them three times so I do not be late, but it has also an advantage for me because even though I didn’t get a certificate related to my course, I have learned new things even though it is not related to what I want to pursue in the future.
