My challenges in this class have changed from the beginning of the semester to the end. In the beginning of the semester, my challenges were being able to the longer length papers for this class. Before this class, I’ve never had to write a paper longer than 3 pages and so I had some difficulties trying to bring in more and more information in order to meet the page requirement. Because of that difficulty, it leads to my paragraphs not flowing together and it seemed as though I was trying to throw information into my papers just to make it seem longer. I didn’t really connect the paragraphs well enough together as well. Towards the end of the semester, my challenges lied in the wording of my sentences and making sure that my information is

Throughout high school, I had issues with expressing the “so what?” issue in my essays. I wouldn’t be able to explain it well in my paper. Throughout the course, I have been able to share why the issue of the refugee crisis needs a solution and give claims that work to show the exigence of the issue and make sure the audience fully understands what needs to be done. It’s something to be proud of because I finally understand what exigence is and how to achieve exigence. Something I still need to work on is grammar and sentence structure. While my writing style has improved professionally, it hasn’t improved enough. I still need to work with using more advanced vocabulary words as well as professional sentence structure. It’s something I’ve noticed, as college began, that is an important skill to have while applying to jobs and writing essays. Areas I see improvement are making claims and how to organize paragraphs. I have improved a little on this since high school but I still have ways to improve with the claims. My claims don’t overall provide a strong emphasis that would describe everything in the paragraph. It’s something that I can see improvement …show more content…
I didn’t discuss the change in statistics over time until the second paragraph and so, in order to show how quickly the issue is rising, I made sure that was the first claim addressed (See page 2, paragraph 2). I made sure that it addressed the statistics first because I wanted to address the exigency of the issue at the beginning of the essay so that the audience remains interested and continues to read. I made the essay focusing on previous plans and policies, such as Operation Triton (see page 3, paragraph 3), the second claim because, in order to understand what must be done in the future, we must look at the failures of the past. The paragraph addresses why the past efforts were not enough in addressing the refugee crisis. I made sure to leave the last paragraph about what a future solution could be (see page 5, paragraph 2) because it allows the reader to end the essay understanding what type of solutions should be considered and what needs to be done to manage the crisis. It leaves the reader wondering what type of solution that they would see. It also allows the reader to understand the different ways the refugee crisis can be
