I really enjoyed the whole idea of workshop groups. Today, I was able to receive really good criticism about my poem. I have gotten very used to classmates reading my work even though I still get nervous. I wrote Assignment #2 on a very person topic which also made the poem hard to share. Once I read it aloud and received comments about the assignment I realized that overall people enjoyed it.
With the reactions I received I know what to tweak and add to my poem. I found it ironic how my workshop group mentioned that I should add the struggles about weight lose. I was expecting that reaction because the struggling part about my weight lose battle was nonexistent throughout that journey in my life. Even though the struggle is nonexistent, I know that losing weight was hard at times. So, as I figure out what the struggles are, I plan to incorporate those ideas into my poem. Hopefully when I add the emotional facts to my poem, I will be able to bring in the idea of "voice of thought," otherwise known as medicine.
If anyone else reads my poem and has anything they would like to add, let me know. I can handle constructive criticism.

Thanks for the input guys,
See everyone on Thursday!
