When people begin a new chapter in life, they begin to think how things are going to fulfill in their life whether it’s positive or negative. Just as a normal person, I began a new chapter in my life which involved me coming to USM. Yes, I had my doubts on somethings, but I knew there had to be some good in it. As I made my schedule to start the fall of 2015, I noticed that I had English as my first class to take. In high school, I hated my English classes. It wasn’t that it was hard or anything. I just wasn’t able to see my potential being presented as a high school student. While in this class as a college freshmen, I have been able to see my work fulfill before my own eyes. The projects that I have produced this semester have made me very

During the revision process, I focused on the comments that were provided by you to make my paper a better one. I begin to gradually see a difference in what I was writing as I revised. I became clearer on certain aspects of my paper and most importantly I begin to gain more insight in what I was writing about. For example, in the original paper, the sentence “According to various new articles online, the democratic presidential runner, Martin O’Malley, got booed of stage because of this statement he stated “black lives matter, white lives matters, and all lives matter” (Identities Mic).” In the original, I did not explain why he got booed of the stage, but in my revision I plainly back up my evidence with the reason being that the people did not like that the fact that he wasn’t just promoting or supporting the Black Lives Matter Movement because a majority of democrats are African Americans, so they wanted him off the stage. I have also enhanced the clarity of who uses the phrase right and who used it wrong. In the first paper, I just stated that there are individuals who uses the uses it correctly and who doesn’t. In the revised edition, I used evidence from twitter to support my claim. I understand that these are just a couple of examples of how I …show more content…
I believe that doing all the assignments that were assigned for this semester has helped me to become a better writer. I can honestly say that I have read every chapter and readings that has been assigned. My reading habits suggest that, I take in what I have read and apply it to what I have learned in my major projects. By reading what is assigned, it helps me to be prepared for what may come up in class. For instance, you may ask the class what are somethings that was discussed during the chapter and if I didn’t read what was assigned, I would not be able to answer anything that was asked. For example, one day in class we were assigned to read “Serving in Florida” for homework. The next scheduled day that we had class you begin to ask questions on what we were supposed to be read. If I would have not read what I was assigned, I would not have been to answer any of the questions that were asked, and I would have not been able to participate in class that day. Little things such as reading the articles or essays for homework has help me to become better at writing, and it has also shown that I am willing to do whatever it takes to be ready to participate in
