Self Analysis Reflection

Improved Essays
I believe that my writing and analysis are where they need to be for me, I say that only because I am not going to be a professional writer, I am more than adequate for the career I am pursuing. I often have a hard time being critical of myself, seems that the time for self analysis is here and I am perturbed by the idea of examining myself at the end of a class. I have a hard time with it because whatever I feel like I say is subjective, I believe that I have done a good job in the class and deserve to pass. I also believe that I am skilled enough at writing and analyzing to qualify me for the world outside of college.
Moreover, looking at myself in the mirror and seeing how far I have come throughout the course of my life is something entirely different. I can see the positive changes in the way that I write and read on a critical level from when I left high school until now. I have learned for the most part how to write the various ways that I need to, from critical thinking, business writing, academic and scientific all use a different forms of written and analytical methods to communicate within their respective

But then again, I don’t do a lot of writing in the first place, but my analysis skills have grown much more prolifically than writing skills. I find that I can read better, I can enjoy books again, I haven’t been able to really sit down and enjoy a book for a while. But since I’ve been taking English classes in college again after a break from them right after high school, I forgot how much I really do enjoy just sitting and reading a book or in this case reading an article on my computer screen. It doesn’t really matter which one I am doing, but as long as my brain is engaged with the words on the page or screen I can enjoy it again, like they are brand new worlds to be

    Literacy Narrative I view myself as an average writer and reader for my age. The guidance and support from others is what I believe supports my literacy the most.

I never always viewed myself as an average writer and reader for my age, I actually thought my literacy was quiet mediocre. It has been just recently that I feel I have become an average write and reader.…

    My Path to Literacy For a very long time writing and reading was a huge struggle for me. I was one of those students who was very intelligent, but disliked reading tremendously and was often told, “You write the way you talk”. The older I grew the more I realized that my struggles with writing was due to my lack of reading. I was aware of my issues but because it became a part of my writing habits it was hard to adapt to anything different. I wanted to be like everyone else and be a good authentic and productive writer but it seemed almost impossible.…

    To be completely honest I have mixed feelings about writing and I don’t really have any memorable experiences that made me feel this way, it is just the experiences that I have had with the subject while trying to apply it. I struggle with what to write down mostly and creativity in general and I don’t really excel at any part of it. If I were to say I “excel” at anything it would be revising my work and adding to it. At the end of the semester I hope that I have relearned some key writing elements that lack of practice has caused me to lose.…

    I have always considered my relationship with writing to be very insignificant. Although I enjoy spending time verbally expressing my thoughts and feelings to others, it becomes difficult when these thoughts and feelings are expressed through writing. Throughout my adolescent years, I would often receive feedback for my writing given by the teacher in the form of a grade. Being unable to effectively organize my thoughts and ideas into words and sentences, I would feel reluctant to continue writing confidently whenever I received an undesirable grade.…

    I’m happy with my writing skills but I obviously do see a need for improvement. I could improve greatly on procrastination and sentence structures. I certainly will strive to keep focused on the topic and to write as if it comes naturally to me so that I can write papers without worrying about too many things. In the end, I feel I am a hair above average when it comes to writing about topics because I think in a very mature way and it feels like a blessing in this age we live in. I hate to compare myself to others because as people we are all incredibly different from one another…

    Self reflection is the mental process that acquires knowledge and understanding through thoughts and experience which helps encourage self awareness. This essay focuses on assessing my objectives and how I have developed my skills from the beginning of this semester until now. At the start of semester A, I wasn’t confident in preparing for the skills sessions and workshops.

I began by listening to knowledge based lectures online and making notes alongside the recommended reading given by my lecturers or the module guide.…
