Decent Essays
Throughout the semester my critical thinking changed like rely on reason rather than emotion, evaluate all reasonable inferences, consider variety of possible viewpoints.
I was improved and more focused writer than beginning of the semester. Before that sometimes I felt like my sentences are jumping not connected to each other, but I improved in many areas such as thesis statements, creating well-supported and detailed body paragraphs, conclusion paragraphs, and annotated bibliography. Throughout this semester, I learned how to summarize, paraphrase, and quote particular information in multiple articles, and I feel like I have accomplished effectively using all three elements.

    I can honestly say I have never really looked at Critical Thinking the way I see it now. Weak critical thinkers lack the ability to look at things from different points of view being true or not true. Strong critical thinkers have the ability to see things, and question every angle of their way of thinking, and come up with a theory or realistic view or stand point on that topic or discussion. The quality of critical thinking, I feel I am a strong critical thinking! My best quality is Intellectual courage: the willingness to face and fairly assess ideas, beliefs, or viewpoints to which they have not given a serious hearing, regardless of one's strong negative reactions to them.…

    I know I am a workaholic and I am trying to get away from this I am learning to delegate and put my foot down, especially saying “No”. I know I have always felt satisfied when I kept doing more and endlessly tiring myself.

In this manner I am learning to understand what I want and possibly how to get it.…

    My experiences over the last six years living in NYC have shaped me into the approachable and compassionate person I am today. I have been immersed in a melting pot with many different culturally and economically diverse populations. These unique experiences have broadened my horizons and allowed me to gain valuable communication skills and the ability to connect with people from all walks of life. I searched out opportunities to give back and help the people in my community both in volunteering in hospitals, educating high school students, and interning in private practices. I even traveled with the organization Medlife, setting up a medical clinic to provide basic medical care and education to people in the poor and underserved communities surrounding Lima, Peru.…

    What if being fucked in the mind was a metaphor for kicking the blues away? As I relive my life backwards and forwards, a reoccurring hymn becomes engraved in my nervous system: the future remains uncertain and quite possibly a utopian shade of 'I love you.' In it, a boy has grown accustom to the idea of walking through life wearing an armor made of glass. By his own account, the armor manages to showcase images of the sky falling despite being curious if the ever-changing stars will one day align in his favor. He is looking from the outside in with hopes of someone understanding how chaotic his anxiety dreams have become while worrying if outsiders, unknowingly, have or will discredit his well-being as a now 20-something year old when standing…

    My approach as a writer is that I must ponder over what I should write about and how it should be written before I go on to start the essay. I am perceived to be a board walker: I have a simple task and the ability necessary to do it, but I am frozen at the start line thinking of what to do until I look back and realize a fire started on the building supporting the end of the board meaning it is time to move. The assignment asks that I analyze my growth as a critical writer and thinker, but I can’t. ‘Why?” you may ask is because you cannot grow if you do not understand what is needed to grow. You ask that we answer one of the three questions…
