This is very hard for me at the beginning because I never did any kind of citation before. In High School I used to write my essay without doing any citation and I can still get a good grade on it. In College, some professors does not require citation, so I don’t have a lot chance to work with it. Citation might be a small problem, but it could cause plagiarism, which is a very serious problem. Using sources in my papers can help me to write a strong paper with a lots information support.

    Narcissism is a personality disorder, that for a while many clinicians were not satisfied with the way narcissism was depicted in earlier versions of the DSM, emphasizing how there has been some unclear aspects of the personality disorder (Dimaggio, 2012). Narcissism is typically diagnosed by a medical professional, but it has been reported that most people with the disorder do not seek treatment (Luchner and Tantleff-Dunn, 2016). According to the author, Marit Svindseth (2008), narcissistic personality disorder does not contain the typical list of mental health symptoms.

    With my first and final semester of english 1001 closing down, the most valuable lesson I learn this semester is you must put in the effort to get the grades. I can see my growth as a writer increase; at the beginning of the semester my writing skills where dull from a summer without any writing assignments. I believe with all the small assignments the professor Adamo assigned I was able to sharper my skills quickly and efficiently. Also the time i put into the writing lab helped me.

    Upon my entry into English 1010-02, my first college writing class, I expected to breeze through the course with an easy-A and minimal effort after my successful completion of AP English 11 this past year. I began the year with the utmost confidence in my writing abilities, and believed that my skills were above par. It wasn’t until I received my score on the essay evaluation for my First-Week Essay- a measly five out of twenty- that I realized that this was not the case. At first, I was astonished that my seemingly exceptional writing skills had not earned me the A that I believed I deserved. However, as time went on I came to the realization that I had not put in nearly enough time or effort into the paper to receive more than a C at most.…

    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.…
