Reflective Essay Five Nights At Caca's

Improved Essays
Coming up with ideas for the essay was the worst. I don’t know what I worship! You told us to think about things that we spend a lot of time and money on which is a lot of things for me. Food, my phone, the internet, apps, TV shows, movies, and chocolate are all things that I spend a lot of time and money on. I ended up thinking and thinking about it for a really long time and I ended up choosing this video game called Five Nights at Freddy’s. It’s a game that I have spent a lot of time thinking over because of theories and watching people play it and actually playing it myself but once I started writing about it I couldn’t come up with anything. I wrote two sentences and in one of those sentences I wrote the word YouTube. I read the sentences …show more content…
It’s even funnier now because I’m watching a YouTube video while I’m writing this. I told myself that I should fix my essay on Monday or at least start it but I didn’t. I convinced myself that if I did it Tuesday night that I would be fine instead I was freaking out. Why would I put myself in that position knowing that Election Day was Tuesday? Trying to listen pay attention to who is winning what state and trying to write an essay in not the easiest thing I have ever done but hey, I did it. I also for some weird reason like the pressure I’m under sometimes. Knowing that the essay was due the next day and that if I didn’t do it now I would get an F really encourages me. I had already out it off I couldn’t do it again so I had to fix and write it no matter what. The ending in my essays is something that always bothers me. How does one just end an essay? I find it hard because I don’t want it to sound cropped off, but that is literally what it ends up sounding like anyway. I almost forgot about the title. The title took me like half an hour to come up with. I liked my final draft even though I have spent a whole page complaining about

    Joining the New Visions program was one of the wisest decisions I have made. When nurses that I shadow at Unity Hospital express how jealous they are that they didn’t have a program like this when they were in high school, it reminds me to take advantage of this opportunity that not every student receives. I am confident that when I graduate college, I will be able to recollect this program, and how it led me to be successful. I will reminisce about the long hours dedicated to each college-level assignment in determination to receive a grade in the high 90’s, or that moment when I witnessed a five pound baby be born from a cesarean delivery, or even when I stood next to the operating table observing a total knee replacement surgery, while the surgeon and nurses took the time to teach me about what they were doing--an opportunity that not even college nursing students were able to see. Every assignment I completed, conversation I had, and person I met, has transformed me into a more educated and open minded student.…

    I never considered myself to be an excellent writer but still thought I wrote well enough to get my point across without confusing the reader too much. However, any confidence that I had in my writing skills was lost for a short time when I had to write my first timed essay in school. Luckily, the timed essay assignment also helped me see that I needed to work on my writing and, as a result, actually turned out to be a more positive experience rather than a negative one. It was just another regular school day that was near its end, and I had one more class to go to before everyone was released to go home.…

    While reading Anzaldúa’s works, I was moved by the effectiveness of her storytelling of portraying these stories of living by these borders. The influence of language and the impact of speaking different dialects have such a weight on those stuck in the in-between of the language barriers. Borderlands/La Frontera showed the struggle of transitioning from the border and the effects of crossing borders has on those that do. Anzaldúa’s writing has amazing imaginary that leaves lasting impacts on readers. When I reading chapter 5, I was surprised at the lasting effects of language had on those who were able to speak multiple dialects in relation to how they felt about themselves..…

    The Final Test I passed the final test, but they didn’t. It all started with my class, called the “9ers”. We were the first class to ever have their whole grade graduate on the same day. We were the smartest of them all, is what the counselor told us. All we had to do was pass the final test to figure out who were leaving to go to the new community.…

    I accomplished my goals because I worked really hard and focused on every single paper. In the beginning, writing seemed challenging. Now that the semester is over, I can sit and write a three-page paper in little or no time at all. I am able to do this because of all of the notes we took. When I felt stuck or unable to write anymore, I would look back in…

    The Franciscan Way, something that sounds much easier than it seems. Something that I had never quite cherished until I began my journey to achieve my colligate education, but something I think everyone should aspire to work into their day to day lives. In my opinion, the most important Franciscan Value is compassion. Compassion is defined as “a feeling of deep sympathy and sorrow for another who is stricken by misfortune, accompanied by a strong desire to alleviate the suffering” (Dictonary.com).…

    Everyone hates English class is what I thought before taking English 102. However, that may have been the case before I entered Dr. Byrd’s domain, but after finishing the class I have come to the realization that English class can be greatly resourceful. English 102 this year has had its ups and downs, and I must admit the ups outweigh the downs. Meaning, this year, I have learned that I am not a student who wants to read or write, but through reading and writing my mind and skill sets concerning English have grown. During English 102 this year, reading and writing in class helped me expand my writing skills, improved my will to comprehend, and most importantly helped expand my knowledge.…

    Before beginning my experiences and observations in this next entry, I would like to note that I am trying to be extremely careful about details that I mention about the Royal Commission and its staff base. The Commission is still underway, and its contents are very sensitive, especially given that the hearings are closed to the public. However, it is difficult and I believe undesirable to leave out my experiences at the Royal Commission. My time there has helped shape what I regard as valuable advocacy skills and examining / interviewing techniques. On top of this, the Commission and somewhat tangentially, Wright Chambers, have given me a far better insight into criminal law than many other law students are afforded at this point in their studies.…

    While your email started with an apology, it ended with my being upset and insulted. I am extremely offended that you would say: "I can't understand why you would work against promoting music. " My email was not about the hesitation of sharing a space or worry about damaged equipment, it was based on my repeated concern regarding the CBWS not fulfilling part of an agreement. For the use of thousands of dollars of GHS music department equipment, I have simply asked that the CBWS provide me with an equipment list for outside performances. To be clear, our district policy states that NO school equipment is allowed to leave district buildings.…

    Critical Commentary Introduction “Is Hyperloop the Future of Travel” is an article from BBC that talks about Hyperloop, a conceptual transportation system that would shorten travel time by a great amount. I choose this article because I like travel and I believe that travel will become easier and faster in the near future because of innovations and new technology such as Hyperloop. This article mainly focuses on two parts: the first part explains what Hyperloop is and how it works; the second part discusses problems that Hyperloop is having or might have in the future. When I was translating this article, I found some words, phrases and sentences difficult to translate.…

    Calvary Commission, the seminary that I stayed at, is located a few miles out of town on a land that seems to never end. I could walk miles and still find myself to be on Calvary Commission’s property. The first day I was there, my group and I went on a little hike up to the prayer chapel, which sat on the top of a hill, surrounded by trees, and a bonfire pit stood a few feet away. This was my group’s first real exposure to how great the people at Calvary Commission are.…

    Sunday night, after trying to be productive all day, I finally sit down and put my hands on the keyboard, and start typing the essay that I should have started a couple days ago. Yeah, you can call me a procrastinator, and I admit that. I have never been good at writing essays. Even if it’s just a small paragraph of summary, it will usually take me much longer to finish it. One reason is it just takes me forever to figure out what I want to write about.…

    Critical Analysis Is structure important when we write our essay and will our essay be polished without a structure? This essay is based on one of the argumentative essays that I did for one of my subject, Language, Culture and Society. I had to go through an article entitled “There is no proper English” and state whether I agreed or disagreed with Oliver Kamm. I personally did agree with some parts of his article and disagreed with other parts because it didn’t feel right to me. I explained about how English is one of the most important languages in this generation and how much it matters no matter where you go.…

    Under the Surface The word literacy can cause an overwhelming amount of stress in one's mind. Growing up, I have felt the pressure weigh on me even when I began to think of the word literacy. This thought of pressure and stress has caused me to become unmotivated when being motivated is the key element to reading and writing. I had it set in my mind at which there was no purpose behind literacy. I just saw it as lines smothered together and people would proclaim them as “literature”.…
