I have really enjoyed my Kenyon experience so far. The atmosphere, as well as the people, are welcoming and friendly. I have already met many new friends and I am glad to have the opportunity to socialize with people from across the nation. I love my roommate, Hannah, who is from California and already a very close friend. I have also enjoyed the writing workshops. As I am accustomed to, the classes are small, which makes it easier to work on one’s writing. I like my teacher because he is insightful, helpful, enthusiastic and straight to the point. The prompts are interesting and cover a variety of topics. We’ve covered nonfiction writing, fiction writing, and poetry. Each prompt forces me to find new and creative ways to approach new ideas. I am not a creative thinker so it takes me a while to find a creative approach to each prompt. The range of writing styles in my class also helps me see different ways to look at one prompt. I really think that the program has helped my writing improve because with more practice, comes more talent. I am a quiet student in class and I do not participate much which is something I am trying to improve.  The food is not that great and the meals are very close to each other. I have used my breaks to work out, talk with friends, and play some activities.  Overall, I have enjoyed writing and I am good at it so my experience so far has been amazing.
