Final Posting

      Today has been 46 days after my last cigarette. I’ve saved about $230 since I decided to quit. I really enjoyed creating this blog from beginning to end. Even though this was an English assignment, it didn’t really feel like it. I had a lot of fun writing this, finding pictures, and even researching. The statistic from my Introduction post says only 4.6% of smokers succeed in quitting each year. Hopefully I am part of that 4.6%, and continue on to resist these cancer-sticks.


       This being my final post in this blog, I wanted to reflect on the blogging experience as a whole. I really did learn a lot from this blogging unit, and I think it’s an interesting way to learn and teach. I believe that this project was assigned at the perfect time, coinciding with my decision to quit smoking. I really enjoyed this project and found it much more enjoyable to work on a blog than multiple papers. This is one of few English classes that actually engaged my interest and I could write about something that I actually wanted to write about. I think that it turned out really well, and I would recommend this class to my peers, because of this informative, creative, and unique project.  I want to thank everyone that actually read this, as well as my teacher and my family for supporting me through these times.
