Blogging - a new experience

What “blogging” means to me?! When I took this new class, the word “blogging” was just an unknown word, a word that made me think about many web writings with no meaning or purpose. To be honest, I must admit that this new thing I was going to experience, frightened me a little bit at the beginning, because this was my first experience of the kind.
Soon I found myself writing my first blog, trying to do the best that I could to make a very good one out of it. Then it came my second and my third…...and now..... my last one. Although it seemed hard at first, I realized that the more I was writing, the more I felt I wanted to write, as more ideas were crossing my mind.
Isn’t is strange the way things happen sometimes? From a moment when I was not aware of the purpose of blogging, when I considered it just simple thoughts, with no importance for anybody, I came to understand that blogging was in fact a great learning experience. I learnt to search and discover, I learnt how to write things, how to present facts in order to be helpful for the others. More than that, I learnt to analyze what my other colleagues wrote, to share my point of view and to interact with them.
I understood from my experience how important it is to say: “I have to use this assignment to improve my writing skills and to learn new things” instead of just doing it for a good grade. Writing blogs also gave me an impulse to keep trying to produce better-written pieces and not just limit myself to the average. Now, after I finished writing my blogs I must say that I really enjoyed blogging and more than that, I felt satisfaction, the satisfaction that I could share my opinions and my life experience with other people.
