To prepare myself effectively so as to be able to handle the paper effectively, I first of all went through the question more than once. After understanding it, I went through two you tube videos that were explaining on how to write a good argument. To be able to pick the best article to discuss, I took my time and went through all the articles that were available and thus I had an idea of what each article was talking about and hence it was my time to choose the best article. I chose “Social Class and the Hidden Curriculum of Work” written by Jean Anyon. I found the article exciting and very relevant to my life experience as a child and thus I easily settled for it and supported the arguments being put forward by Jean Anyon.

Having written before in this class, there were fewer negative thoughts and thus my main issue was whether I would be able put out a strong argument on the paper and also if I would be able to cite the document appropriately. I kept encouraging myself as I wrote the first paragraph and by the time I was on my third paragraph I was already familiar with my work and thus I never felt bothered again. On the other hand, my main source of motivation was the fact that I wanted to share my experience as a child as m main arguments in the paper and that really motivated me in writing. The other source of motivation was the fact that my class interactions with class members and thus I would get my source of motivation from them.
 

As I kept writing the paper, memories of my childhood education kept going through my head and I would often giggle or smile as I remember what education was back then. I also read a wide range of journals to gain extra knowledge on the topic so that I could also understand what other individuals had to say about the argument. This was very important to me since it enabled me to understand some of the arguments that had been put forward by Jean Anyon.

Generally, I can say that it was a great experience the paper and that not even the negative thoughts could hinder me from writing a good paper. Being optimistic and doing wide research is what contributed towards my successful completion of the paper.
