As time ticks by, my hands rush to scribble down letters to form the first essay of the first semester, then the second, and finally the last. Throughout the first semester, students in Honors English experienced writing essays in a short amount of time while trying to maintain the essay’s quality. I believe that although I did well in some parts of my Summer Reading Essay, The Odyssey Essay, and Character showing Empathy Essay, there were pieces of the essays that could be improved and in the future, I aim to achieve the goals I have set up to enhance my work.

The prompt of the essay was given a day before we wrote it in class and we had a class period to plan. During class, I was able to write a thesis and gather many quotes and ideas. Yet, my paragraphs were inadequate because they had little analysis, leading to a weak response. Like the Summer Reading Essay, I struggled with time management since I took most of my time writing the essay and was left with barely any time to edit.

Furthermore, I need to improve on time management and the thesis statement because I felt that the statement was not clear enough. However, I think that the quality of this essay has improved because I was able to put more thought into the analysis of the prompt and evidence. Moreover, I believe that the evidence I chose for the character for this essay was what I did well in this essay. In addition, my goal is to improve on the thesis statement in the upcoming semester. Although I did well in some parts of the Character showing Empathy Essay, there were flawed parts that needed improvement.
In my Summer Reading Essay, The Odyssey Essay, and Character showing Empathy Essay, there are areas that need to be improved while some areas were well done and I hope to accomplish my goals for the upcoming semester. The first semester of Honors English was challenging, wish me good luck in the second
