As I reflect back on this course it is obvious that I am now a more professional writer, I can write and read better literature, I have been a more critical thinking, and I have grown substantially in English.
I am now able to write more professionally because of this course because I learned how to write a resume and cover letter. I never knew how to write a resume and this course gave me a detailed explanation on how to do so. The cover letter gave the resume an explanation point because of how professional it was. After I did the resume and cover letter I took much pride in it and I decided to take it to show my older brother Mark.

In the future I hope to become a criminal investigator and I have to be able to write witness reports for the people that I interview. While I was doing the quizzes, I learned a lot about different writing mistakes that I made. I am hoping to be able to review my mistakes in order to become a better writer and I will not make those mistakes during my professional career. Additionally, like I stated earlier being able to write a resume has really helped me because that is the first step to getting a job. I defiantly feel that all this information will help me in the
