    can think of, but why? The purpose of a personal essay in my opinion should not be concerning who has had the most traumatic life experience but about who can ultimately give the reader a true look inside them. This unfortunately I simply cannot do. Personal essays have always been a chore and a tedious task to me. Not to mention the small success rates. It is difficult enough to think of a fascinating topic, but then they expect you to write about your feelings and discuss them? It cannot just be me who dreads the moment we need to hand in the little monster we call the…

    A Personal Reflection Reflection is one of the most effective learning tools that anyone can utilize. It is through reflecting that people can learn from their mistakes and change their habits. By reflecting, people often create new and spontaneous ideas. As my first quarter as a college student is coming to an end, I have the opportunity to reflect upon all of the unique things that I have learned. Out of my three classes, my English class provided me with the most beneficial learning…

    It’s 12:30 pm and I cannot sleep. My mind refuses to shut down and let me rest. A thought keeps replaying in my mind over and over again. After several failed attempts to try to sleep, I get my iPod and I begin to write. I transfer my thoughts, feelings, and worries into the digital notepad. When I am finished writing, I am able to relax and my mind starts to shut down. Not only does my writing allow me to relax (sleep), but it helps me to translate my thoughts and possibly see a deeper meaning…

    horrible academic essay in an easy English class in the 10th grade, and received a D. By way of contrast, as an adult I wrote an excellent research essay in an English class as a freshman in college, and received an A. Though, I made horrible mistakes on my personal essay as a teenager, I believe my writing has improved tremendously due to a research essay I wrote. For one thing, as a teenager in the 10th grade I wrote a horrible essay that received a non-passing grade, but now as an adult in…

    the world (as far as people who read go). Their said intentions are almost philanthropic -seeking to serve the public- while their own success seems an unintentional perk. In contrast, my writing habits are comparably selfish, dealing more with personal entertainment and satisfaction than finding and pleasing an audience. Not only has this been a result of my preference for creative writing over academic, but also my tendency to let the speed of my thoughts overtake that of my hand. Despite my…

    Narrative Essay Every student is different and every student has their own story. I chose the prompt in which I would tell you about a story so central to my identity that my application would not be the same without it. However, this is a personal narrative, and I am supposed to be telling you about the real me. So, excuse me if I do not follow the prompt like I am supposed to. A story that I feel my application would not be complete without involves a treacherous journey through middle…

    My personal experience and take away from English 111 was what I expected it would be before I started the course. No, there was no “life changing” moment for me from this course and I honestly I can’t say I am a better or worse citizen for taking this class, but I can say my writing skills have improved, and that I feel more confident in my writing than prior to taking this course. Writing has and continues to be a challenge for me, I have no illusion that I will ever be a “perfect” or even a…

    The Closet Recently, I started my sophomore year of high school. I came in the year, clueless of what was going to happen throughout the year. I walked into my second period English thinking it was going to be like any other boring year of English but my teacher brought up the question of “who are you?” Like anyone else in the world the first thing I thought of was, “Duh, I am Madisyn. I love to play softball and I like music.” But what I didn’t realize was she meant my culture. “What is…
