Reflective Essay In High School

Improved Essays
During this class, I have learned so much and my view on a few things changed based on the things I was taught. Before I came to this class I honestly did not know what to expect. I thought it was just going to be a class where I write essays by the high school standards but my opinion quickly changed. I chose the first essay that I had written in this course in which I really connected to and had a big emotional attachment to the topic I chose. Bullying is a very common topic, and was easy to revise my essay into something else such as the book I wrote. The things I learned in this class made revising my narrative essay so much easier. This class made me such a smarter more prepared student. When I came into this class, the atmosphere was so much more different than the high school atmosphere that it made things that I was learning about make a lot more sense. In my high school English classes we know the basic how to write an essay but in this class, I had a better and deeper understanding of how and why we do certain things in an essay. …show more content…
Since my audience was older kids such as middle school it would make sense to change the audience to elementary school so they will understand bullying before the time comes when bullying becomes at large for them. I also love kids and I want them to understand how bad bullying can affect somebody not only that but how being bullied can hurt but for them not to bully anybody else. Also, I hit on if you are the bully you can get into trouble to show there can be consequences of being the bully. If read to kids and maybe explained by a teacher and questions are asked they could understand the book and be able to learn even more about bullying. The breakthrough of bullying to the younger audience over-all changes perspectives and can prevent their future to be full of bullying and being

    At the beginning of the semester, I viewed myself as a creative writer. After attending this class I realized that there is a lot more that goes into writing an essay, or a research paper, than just creativity alone. I have learned that it is very important to be aware of my strengths and weaknesses in my writing. Taking this class has helped me understand the strengths and weaknesses in my writing skills, and it has given me the opportunity to strengthen the areas in which I was weak. An example of this is that I have become aware of my grammar and spelling errors as the semester progressed.…

Writing was a challenge that I dreaded when I chose to be in the course, nonetheless with time, I learned from my mistakes and was able to improve.

    Before even entering high school, I made a decision that would ruin the next few years. Looking back, I had no idea it would have impacted me as much as it did, but even now I still wouldn’t have changed that decision. Everything that came after that decision, no matter how difficult, shaped me into who I am today, and I was able to meet some pretty amazing people and do a few things only a handful of people can say they’ve done. In elementary school, I was in the S.C.O.P.E. (Spotsylvania County Program of Enrichment) program, my county’s way of separating out students who they considered gifted and a distraction in the classroom.…

    Ever since becoming a student, English has always been one of my least favorite subjects. As a kid, I despised the idea of grammar worksheets, vocabulary quizzes, essays, and all of the typical work you would tend to get in an English class. Throughout my middle school and high school years, I would always make very obvious and poor grammar mistakes, which resulted in me never grasping any sort of understanding for the concepts we learned or were taught. For example, the difference between a verb and adjective, or when to use a comma in a sentence. With several disappointing experiences in English class throughout my academic career, I had so little interest in English that it subsequently helped me fail some of my English classes.…

    This English class has been very helpful in my efforts to improve my writing abilities, but has also been very challenging due to there being a different median for every essay. It’s been a heavy work load especially this semester since I decided to enroll in five classes, but in the end it has been very beneficial indeed. I can’t say that writing essays has been one of my strong points but I believe that this course has helped me improve tremendously and it has also made me feel a lot more comfortable with my writing. While in high school I would usually write all of my essays a day before the due date a habit of mine that was very difficult to overcome, but now I have learned from my mistakes.…

    Writing has always been a struggle for me for as long as I can remember. I find it difficult to put my thoughts on a paper, especially if I have to do it in another language. Some people think that as long as they can speak a language or communicate with other people, it is enough. However, these people are totally wrong. People do not only need to speak a language fluently, but they also have to be able to write it.…
