went beyond the words in the articles. From the various reading responses to the claim essays, it all impacted and changed my point of view, beliefs, and way of life. Not only did it make me a better reader and writer, it also made me think beyond the context to think differently. It gave me a new normal. English has never been my strong suit, but I was determined to give my best effort. Especially writing essays, with two due in this course I was skeptical about taking the class, but I did…

always a struggle. No matter how much I try each essay will either be really bad or sub par. After a semester of Intensive College Composition, I realized that I needed to have more confidence in my work. Also realizing that waiting to the last minute was not going to work, taking it step-by-step days before will have a better outcome. After my first couple of assignments I was scared to see how I was going to do in this class, but then I got my first essay back. Shocked by the grade even though…

To be honest English and Composition 1 was not a class I was eager or even thought I needed to take. I thought I already knew enough about writing and I feel I’m a very competent fiction writer but as far as essays I had a lot to learn. Especially, like many, for topics I’ve no interest in. I feel like I’ve gotten better at making it interesting.

Coming back to this piece after several months, I immediately saw a lot of room for improvement. Spelling and grammar issues aside, my essay lacked substance and specificity,…

Part of me is still that chronic procrastinator I’ve always been, but I’ve come to understand that some of what I considered delaying tactics was really pre-writing. I realized that while I had been doing those things that my essay was being assembled in my head. If I came up with an idea or a solution to a problem I had written myself into I’d go back to my desk and write. If I was at work, as I often was, I’d make a note in the notebook that has become my constant companion. My writing…

controlling purposes for all three of my interpretive essays were vague and confusing for my audience to understand. Because of my controlling purposes being confusing, the rest of my paper subsequently wasn’t coherent for my audience. But, the revision period came at the perfect time to begin revisions on my essays. Throughout this reflective project, I would like to touch on several things.
