Bootcamp was incredibly helpful to me, to getting started on the right foot for this semester. i didn't have a writing tutor or anything and my writing wasn't very good. i have writing like a robot. i wasn't writing what i wanted to say. bootcamp really helped me with understanding how to loosen up my writing. Say what you want to say. i was writing with to much structure. i also learned how to enter the question. i really like the philosophy of entering the question. it makes your writing sound a lot smoother. also i got more comfortable with citing sources and getting the right information out of sites. i used to just site a novel that didn't really mean anything. finding sources that agree with my argument as well as finding nay sayer, can really give my paper a a lot of strength.

i'm really glad that we got to go through boot camp in the beginning because i feel more confident going into the semester. i feel like i i really have a good chance of improving my writing this semester which can really help me later in life.

My name is Matt Bock. I am from Southern California. I came to washington state for the chance to play football. I am currently on the football team. I went to a private school that i felt really prepared me for college. i feel that the high school i came from really prepared me for writing. i have a mom, dad, two brothers and a dog. i love my family. they are the coolest. i like to listen to all kinds of music. Lil wayne would have to be my favorite. i also like groups such as: passion pit, andre nickatina, john mayer, taylor swift, and many more. Michael Jackson is the man... RIP. i enjoy going to the beach, playing a little piano, playing any sports, and hanging out with friends and family. i have a good attitude toward school. my parents are spending a lot of money to be here at WSU and i need to get the best grades i can get. my parents work so hard and i love them so much and i don't want their hard work to go to waste. i am pretty excited for rachel's class, because i feel like she is really going to help my writing.
