As I was brainstorming, I quickly wrote down all of my ideas. From this time I knew that I wanted to write about my experiences going to Colombia. After writing down my ideas and coming up with the…

Organization is an integral part of writing an essay. Without organization, ideas will be jumbled and the argument will be unclear. As a writer in English 101, I learned how to structure my essays and how to organize my thoughts in a way that strengthens my arguments. English 101 greatly helped me advance as a writer.
