When writing a paper there are steps that need to be taken to have a perfect paper to be proud of. But sure there are going to be some complications and moments to give up, but not only students have trouble in the matter of fact professional writers have the same problems too. Although many authors seem to be perfect writers, they are not, they face the same problems as students do. They do not write perfect papers, as professional writers, there are going to be mistaken when writing an essay.…

Tatianna Baker Ghost Boy Reflection Ghost Boy is written as a journey, which the reader takes along with the writer. The journey gives a vivid picture of what an individual with physical limitations goes through and how AAC can truly change one's life. Having the opportunity to read this book this semester has opened my eyes to the life these individuals live and has shown me how important our job as a speech pathologist can be. Before reading this book I hadn’t put much thought into…

boundaries, go where I am no supposed to go, and do things that will continue causing me to learn and grow. I started writing an autobiography over the summer and the hardest part by far was writing the exposition–starting the story of my life on paper. The autobiography I started in the summer describes thoughts and other portions of my ego as well as the experiences I’ve had in great depth. For the sake of keeping this one short, I won’t give you my entire life story. Instead I will write a…

strips, first I folded a piece of construction paper hot dog style into fourths. I then cut out the four sections along the folded lines. I then took one of the sections and measured how long the paper was (hot dog style, the long way). The piece of paper was 12 inches long. For the fraction 1/12 I divided the 12 inches by 12 which gave me 1 inch. Using a ruler, I then proceeded to mark every 1 inch until I reached 12 on my paper with a pencil. I cut the paper with…

Overcoming My Literacy Journey I can remember as a child probably second or third grade and my Dad pointing to some really hard word in the dictionary. I was able to read that word with ease. He had expressed how he thought I would excel in reading until one day everything changed. I became what I would define as a terrible reader. To say the least my literacy journey has been rather challenging and even frustrating at times. I can remember when I was in elementary school when I became a…

MHS Summer Reading Self Reflection Afrin Mirza When I started to read the book I thought it would be a regular book with sentences and paragraphs, but it turns out that the book came to life in my mind. The book kept me engaged and interested the entire time because it was one of the most relatable books I’ve ever read. The main character Patti Yoon and I have many similarities that I could spot easily. Not to mention that our lives were also very similar, her parents were the stereotypical…

Commit Revised Descriptive/ Reflective Place Essay Reflection: What makes this essay better than its original form is that I added more detail to give the reader a better understanding. Just adding one small detail can change the reader's perspective. I have also learned to incorporate different types of sentences to improve my writing style. “Come on dude, just do it.” Brady’s encouraging voice kept echoing over and over in my head. Pressure filled my mind as if it were air filling a…

Directed Self-Placement for Writing for First-Year Students- Joshua Jacobs The notion that the way in one speaks can alter the way in which another interprets the meaning of the speaker is shockingly accurate. Throughout many of my school classes and my public day to day interactions, it has dawned on me that the way in which someone speaks to me, or the language, both verbal and physical, that they use directly impacts the attention I give to them as they speak as well as my comprehension,…

The Journey “One glance at a book and you hear the voice of another person, perhaps someone dead for 1,000 years. To read is to voyage through time.” - Carl Sagan, an astronomer, astrophysicist, and author I never loved to read. It always seemed boring and purposeless, which caused me to never truly focus on the meaning of the author’s message. My mind always wandered because I never felt the words that the authors were feeling. The creativity of my mind also seemed to overwhelm the…

When I began this class, it had been over ten years since I had taken English 111, so I was a little apprehensive about whether I would be able to remember everything from that long ago and be successful in this class. The first paper that I was tasked to write was a literary analysis of “Little Things” by Raymond Carver. I was excited about this assignment in the beginning because, as an avid reader, I really enjoy critically looking at what I think the author is trying to say to me through…
