A Better Tomorrow

When I took the English and Language Composition AP Exam in May, I couldn't stop feeling anxious. While most students, in this course, would've considered themselves proficient writers, I regarded myself as mediocre at best. When I finished the introduction, I found my erasers significantly smaller than it was previously, because; even though it’s a rough draft, I would find myself being a perfectionist. For myself, words didn’t come easily-- I’d find myself looking through a list of synonym for…

skimming and skipping throughout the text. To prevent this from happening, I often put my cell phone, which is my main distraction, away or on silence and give myself time to sit down and actually read the text. This helps focus and understand the text better. I am not a native English speaker, so there are many words that I do not know. In the past, I used to just brush through them or tried to guess their meanings, but now, I always look them up in the dictionary and write their definitions…

“Two roads diverged in a wood and I-I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the different.” (“The Road Not Taken”) The road symbolizes how the individual had to evaluate and determine his decisions. Making his decision was a major decisive and extensive moment during his life span. He wrote just about ten books in his lifetime that many people admired.

102, I have developed a new set of skills and learned to become a better writer. When I first came into English 102 I struggled with many different concepts of writing. During the semester in English 102, my writing became stronger because I learned how to incorporate evidence into my argument, do more thorough research, have smoother transitions, and have more organization throughout my essay. I learned how to peer review better and to take what others say and incorporate it into my essay. In…

shoulders to their target. It was a simple fix, and a reminder is all that was needed. However, if a student was to struggle with this concept I could have broken this down more with demonstrations and more in depth instructions to help the student gain a better understanding.

These are the things that matter” The inspiring quote above is uttered and was given justice by the character of Mr. Robert Williams (Dr. Malcolm Sayer) in his film entitled “The Awakening”.

Reflection Paper Throughout the 5-days practice of active listening and basic attending skills in daily conversations, it was easiest for me to practice empathy. I found it easy to perceive the situation through others’ eyes and perspectives without being judgemental and listen attentively in order to capture the accurate meaning. As a result, I was able to develop empathic rapport in which I accurately sensed and understood others’ concerns as well as feelings. Besides that, I was able to show…
