Who Am I To Judge?

Honestly, choosing a blog that exemplified excellence was difficult for me. Grading this way is so subjective and all depends on what catches your eye. While searching through blogs, the writing styles of some really stood out to me. In particular Jillian’s blog grasped my attention.

         First, I believe her title makes you think right away. It is positive but not something that everyone can say they do. The whole point of these blogging assignments is to develop our critical thinking skills and “when in doubt, be brave” does just that. It forces you to question how you handle stress and discomfort in your own life.

         Next, her writing style is very unique. I admire the way that she is straightforward and real. She does not try to cover anything up through fancy language or abstract ideas. She also says what she pleases regardless of public opinion. I truly believe that she means what she says in every line of her blog. Her most recent post, “Hard Work vs. Talent” was most interesting to me. She has such a great philosophy about life, which allows you to wonder if you are truly happy with your own personal situation. Or would you rather begin to work harder to achieve something more. Jillian also takes a creative path to get across an idea that many other blogs have written about as well. She uses casual statements and real life examples that everyone could connect to. This engages her readers. The images she has selected to include with some of her blog posts also correspond very nicely and add something to them.

         Although everyone’s blog holds something different, exciting and interesting, Jillian’s just happened to catch my eye. The more and more I read of it, the more I learned about her as a person. Also the deeper I delved into it, the more critical I was forced to think.
