Writing consists of strengths and weaknesses; it requires perfect grammar, spelling, enhanced vocabulary and good punctuation. In my point of view, I have never considered myself a good writer. One of my weaknesses in writing is always tackling the prompt, due to it is hard for me to begin an essay. My grammar and punctuation has also been another problem in my writing because I always tend to use the wrong transition word or punctuation. Proving my point is another of my weaknesses because every time my peers read my essays, they never find the point I want to express. English classes have always been a headache for me because I find it uninteresting. I considered myself being

  • Reflection On I Am Going To Fail

    1878 Words  | 4 Pages

    ‘I am going to fail’ was the very first thought that crept into my mind on that very first day of class. Before I stepped into the classroom on the first day, I felt pretty good about my writing. I had done previously well in English, and didn’t think this class would be much of a challenge. This all changed on the first day of school, when my professor talked about the level of reading and writing expected for this class. I remember thinking ‘I don’t read, why couldn’t I have been born someone who likes to read?!’ Since this moment on the very first day of class, I have grown immensely through hard work. In this essay, I will explain what I have learned over the course of this class about myself, and about writing.

  • Self-Evaluation of My Writing Skills

    Change is interwoven in the learning process and therefore is inevitable. It is beyond amazing to reflect on ourselves and see how much we change in just six months. I do not know what is more remarkable—the change itself or knowing that that change represents an expansion in our knowledge, a growth in our abilities, and an improvement in our writing. However, one thing I am sure of is that it feels good to see that, excuse the cliché, hard work does pay off.

    Throughout the semester i only learned few new things but i did improve and solidify my skill of writing.

I now understand many things that my high school teachers have done a poor job demonstrating and i am grateful that i decided to take my own route in my education instead of their syllabus.

  • Reflective Essay About Writing Skills

    1159 Words  | 3 Pages

    Writing is an important part of everyone’s life, whether we use it in school, in the workplace, as a hobby or in personal communication. It is important to have this skill because it helps us as writers to express feelings and thoughts to other people in a reasonably permanent form. Formal writing forms like essays, research papers, and articles stimulates critically thinking. This helps the writer to learn how to interpret the world around him/her in a meaningful way. In college, professors motivate students to write in a formal, coherent manner, without losing their own voice in the process. Improving your writing skills is important, in every English class that’s the main teaching point; to help students improve their writing skills. Throughout my college experience I have acknowledge that

  • Apostrophes Reflection

    Every time I would send a document up to my company office to be reviewed and submitted, it would be kicked back. Not because it was the wrong format, the wrong letter head, or not the right information. It was because of my writing abilities. Being in the Marine Corps, I never had the need to use proper writing styles to get the mission accomplished. All I needed to know was how to shoot, treat a wound and lead my fire team. But once I started being promoted the need for myself to start writing and typing grew. So I took this class to gain knowledge about the writing process, and how to better my writing abilities. I also wanted to set the example for my Marines and my kids, to show them that education can and will help make you become a better-rounded person. Throughout this essay I will be addressing: Subject-Verb Agreement, The use of pronouns, and Apostrophes. All of which I have had a terrible time with before this class.
