On my first day of writing class, I had numerous thoughts going through my head. I was afraid if my weakness will make me fall behind in class or my strengths was not good enough to get me a good grade. Yet the numerous assignments given to me over the quarter help me become a better writer.

In my reflection I would say, “I think it is very critical when reading other authors and my fellow classmates writing styles. I think it gives me a better chance to understand different works of writing. I can learn how to incorporate different styles of writing and try to make it my own”. The Bi-Weekly reflections helps me to be a more of a critical thinker on my writing style and writing progress
