Up to this point, this course has been very rewarding. As a result of this week’s reading assignment I have discovered that Microsoft Word has many features which I can use day to day. However, I have found three features that will be beneficial in my everyday life. Moreover, they will help me tremendously in my education journey. A student needs to have access to a word processor program that will promote success. Furthermore, a professional adult should have the tools necessary to make a good first impression. I am a 27- year police veteran. Needless to say, I have had numerous chances in my career to make outstanding first impressions. Many times, my writing was my first impression.

I would like to say that before I discovered the features that I felt was the most beneficial, I had to develop an understanding of the operation of the application (Wiley & Sons, 2014).

They will be beneficial to my upcoming learning experience at Bethel University, to my law enforcement career, and to my life in general (Wiley & Sons, 2014). Furthermore, I can set up the “Quick Access Toolbar” to suit my writing needs. This will allow me to access the features that I continuously use very quickly. Moreover, I will be able to use the grammar, spelling, and document features when I write letters, create case files, respond to email, and much more. Microsoft Word will enhance my writing skills tremendously. However, I understand that I will still need to practice writing to become a proficient writer (Hentschker & Mennicken, 2018). Do not feel bad if you make mistakes at first; just hold your head up and keep practicing (Dyre, Tabor, Ringsted & Tolgsgaard, 2017). Remember, “Practice indeed, makes perfect,” (Hentschker & Mennicken 2018, p.1).
