A new online course :Achieving writing expertise

The following is our warm-up :) activity:

Hello everyone,
It feels great to be here surrounded by all those fond of  writing :)
Actually, before watching the video I wouldn't have called myself "a writer since - to me - it was an attribute to be found in the ones with a published book accompanied by a prize or so. Having watched the video and completed the activity with timeline, I now understand that I have always preferred to express myself on paper or something readable.
While doing the timeline activity, I remembered the little me writing pages of letters to the pen pals living away, keeping a diary or writing notes on friends' memory notebooks.. then in secondary and highshool all those notebooks full of poems or half-finished stories.....
I can never forget the time when I was a freshman because it was then  when I started to understand what writing in academic context meant since I had to struggle to get a passing grade in my composition class.It was rather complicated to adapt to the style of academic thinking and scripting it on paper in an organized way. I tried hard very hard to transform my so called "stream of conscious" into a coherent and unified body. That's one of those periods in life, the one the value of which you understand only years  later, to be exact when I started teaching academic writing at university level.      
I shouldn't forget to include all the essays, research papers I submitted as course requirements during my both graduate and postgraduate education as well as the master's thesis.
Before putting down my last words, my electronic writing journey is also worth mentioning, with the urge of reflecting on anything readable I started blogging first to keep the memorable moments of my daughter constantly fresh and then to stay updated professionally. I am now the writer of these two blogs too.
Why have I decided to take this online course? 
To achieve writing expertise :) and motivate myself to write more since I believe, I better understand myself as a teacher and an individual through writing, and contribute a lot to my professional and personal life.
