First Semester at Baruch Reflection

As the semester comes to an end, students start to reflect on the work they did during the semester, which is what I will be doing with my English class. I think over the course of my writing has improved and become more professional because my grammar has improved, as well as I am more punctual and careful with how I write them. My essay I believe now are more on the college level as they should be as I continue my journey in college and my English courses. I think the work I am most proud of what my literary analysis paper, this is because I thought that my evidence was really strong when it came to proving my opinion of fiesta 1980. I think the writing project that was the most difficult for me was the first writing assignment because I didn’t have much information and recollection of when I learned English since was at a young age. I think when we started to learn a bit more on grammar and punctuation was helpful and helped make my writing stronger but I could still use improvement with it and make my use of commas, semi-colons, etc. more in reflex when writing so that when it comes to revising y work I won’t have to pin-point those it more carefully. In the future, I hope to continue to write a bit more as writing is an important skill that many should have as it shows maturity, responsibility, and intelligence if someone can write.
Since this semester’s course revolved around the topic of representation and identity I think it will stick with me for a while as they are very important topics that appear on a day to day basis for some people. The concept of identity and representation to me means how you see yourself, based on personality, characteristics, your environment, how you grew up, the culture you were raised in. when it comes to identity and how you represent yourself it is all based on you and to what others think or believe you should be by trying to put you and many similar to you in the same box because even if you might have some similarities all our identities are different.
I think I have made great improvement throughout the semester in this class, other classes and just as a person in general, in the sense that I’ve gotten more mature and responsible and caring for my work a lot more. Being in college has shown me a small insight into adulthood and having to juggle multiple responsibilities without letting one fall. I think one moment that I stretched myself thin was when I had a speech to do the next day an essay due for this class as well as study for a math exam I had the following day so having to make sure I did everything and also be proud of the work I was submitting was a bit of a hassle and had me stressed a little but I was able to manage through it. I think being done with the semester has been the most rewarding because I have been able to finally relax and know I was able to complete my first semester in college to the best of my ability. The whole SEEK and Baruch community have all been a great help in my college experience and have brought upon some good moments and memories throughout the whole semester.
