Letter to writing group

On one of the first day of classes we had to write a letter to our writing groups that pretty much let them know more about us.  I didn't really know what I should write because my life isn't that interesting. All   I could talk about was what I did in high school and what my hobbies are, boring I know.

We had to write this as a homework assignment and I was excited to reflect on my life before coming to UNC Charlotte.   I had been struggling with the transition into college because it was a huge change in my life and I wasn't used to being this different person per say.  As I was writing I realized that I am who I am and I will never change, no matter the circumstances.  I will always enjoy the same things as I always have and no matter where I am.

In class the next day we got in our writing groups and passed our letter around to each person.  When each person finished reading my letter the left a comment on it.  It was really cool and interesting to go back and read these comments because each person said something different.  It was cool to see how I had so much in common with these people even though we came from different places and different backgrounds.  I thought that it was a great way to get to know and understand each other.

  3. I agree that leaving the comments on each others letter was a great way to introduce ourselves. I always find it interesting as well to see how much I have in common with people from very different upbringings and history.
