What I mean by skimming over is maybe coming up with a phrase that I would write down then under it, in colored pencils, I would write words that pertained to the main topic. This was a okay form of drafting/outlining a paper, not the best and most efficient way though. Strategizing with prewrite, outline, rough draft, revision, then final draft, has been such an incredibly beneficial process in my writing this semester. For example, I feel like the outlining process for…

the rules for writing. I started to just write for the grade and not for enjoyment. Teachers began to enforce writing and not in a pleasing way. We would go months without writing and then one day my teacher would expect us to write a perfect paper. Sometimes we would write so much that I dreaded even hearing the word “essay”. There was never a happy medium. Writing became overwhelming. As I continue to grow as a reader and a writer, I have many goals. My first goal would be to…

Everyone tends to be connected or addicted to technology or media these days. We are so used to being on our phones all the time we can’t get off of them. I can say and I am one of those people that can never get off of their phone and is just on it cause I am bored.

Luckily, the individual meetings and emails with my professor made everything much more clear and inviting. These final project meetings were very helpful in terms of receiving constructive criticism and then going back home to make changes to the paper. I’ve always had trouble writing multiple different rough drafts for one final assignment but the separate due dates and many comments from my professor made everything less stressful. By taking in all of the constructive criticism and using them…

Reflection Essay I had no expectations as to what I was going to learn throughout this experience. My goal was to learn how I can develop my own nonprofit agency to aid the people in my community. Although that is not completely out of the question, throughout this process, I have learned that there is a myriad of ways in which I can help in all three sectors. I remember walking into my first class and the teacher basically saying we will read a bit of the class, “but what I really want you…

For the past 7 days I have been disconnecting myself from much of the internet. It’s not my first time doing it but it is the first time in over 7 years. It wasn't a total disconnection but I mainly used Twitter to stay informed but limited myself to only opening it a few times per day and used the rest of the internet for very specific queries like the lyrics to a song. I also didn’t give up email or IM but tried to limit my interactions as much as possible. The purpose of doing this was to see…

Experience about English 101 This semester of fall 2016, I took English 101. Before starting this class I must say I felt nervous and unsure about myself.

I had trouble in the past with my writing skills and grammar. However, I took the challenge and sign up for this class. I can honestly say I did okay. Even though my grades for my essays were…
