My writing during this course has improved. At the beginning of the semester I did not walk in with any goals for my writing. But as time passed by I noticed many improvements that I definitely need to work on. In my writing I believe I need to work on being more cohesive as well as my analysis. My writing sequence I feel could be better and to work on that I need to be able to use more cohesive devices properly. I believe a way I can improve on this by re-reading the essays i write and keep in mind some questions while reading it again. Also during this break read more books. Also I should improve on being more detailed than just being more straightforward with things.

A piece of writing that I can say I am proud of is my literacy narrative essay. I am particularly proud of it because while creating this piece of writing I was struggling and doubted myself many times. I have been a person since high school/middle school who struggled to write about memoirs of myself. I feel like that has been one of the many difficult tasks that I was struggling to overcome. But I did not let that back me down from trying and putting my all at the end into this essay. I have improved tremendously with this and I’m proud of the work I did. Also when I look back at the writing piece now, it showed me the capabilities of what I can achieve if I put my mind to it. This was a challenge this first semester of college, for sure and although I had my set backs this semester, I know that overall, just like my essay, I have acknowledged what to improve and reflect on. Especially what skills to accomplish to make myself a better writer, a better student.

A piece of writing that was the most challenging, i would have to say is my argumentation essay. This is actually challenging for me because when I did argumentation essays you know I would have it planned out with the help of teachers setting up a time management on what to focus on first then what to do so on and so forth. But I came to realization that it’s not the same anymore and it’s time I did my own research and plan out my ideas better than I did right now. With this essay it was for sure a challenge since I didn’t have somebody telling me what day and what to work on specifically. Like how to start off, basically the whole process. I did figure out at the end some key differences on how when I have a thesis, i should expand on it, when writing my body paragraphs. It also made me realize that with the right research you can find many things to add in the paper. It doesn’t have to be only on one specific thing. I have to be more informative when writing it. Overall this essay was difficult to write but it for sure along the way made me realize key points on where i should be improving.

Finally, I believe this class has revealed to me new companions who are different in their own special way, which made us better as a class. I liked the way the class was structured and how comfortable i felt in the classroom environment. This was the best class I had this semester because not only did it open my eyes to things I need to improve on but it always made me learn things that I was intrigued about. Thank you Professor Perry for the teachings that I would carry throughout my journey as a student.
