Recommended: Personal values academic essay

The feedback that I was provided by Cayla helped me tremendously because previously I lacked confidence in my writing because I had no clue if anyone else shared the same view as I. She expressed that she has similar views and told me to further extend my ideas. Admittedly I was afraid of being judged for having this sort of view but she helped me realize that I am not alone in believing this, and most importantly to not limit my writing based off of my fear of being judged by my peers. If I were to grade this assignment, I would give myself a middle B because I feel that I improved tremendously in terms of concreting my values across to the reader. By writing this paper, I seriously feel like i'm more knowledgeable about some of my values

    When many people write, including myself, they get attached to their writing. Although writing can be a personal thing, I’ve learned that it is important to step away from your paper, and take the feedback on an objective level. The first time I got feedback, I had an overwhelming urge to defend myself. I remember reading that my introduction wasn’t complete, and that my evidence wasn’t properly introduced. I wanted to walk up to those who critiqued my paper, and spit right in their faces.

  • The Chrysalids Reflection

    In a society where anyone or anything that does not fall under the “true image of God” is an abomination and is to be exiled or killed, a group of “shape-thinkers” who have already struggled trying to follow the strict rules of their town are struck with a brand new problem when their group of eight becomes nine. John Wyndham introduces us to a post-apocalyptic time period where a God-fearing community tries desperately to rid their town of all deviations in The Chrysalids. Although this science fiction novel had the potential to be a great piece of literature, reading it was like a chore, it was boring and I could not wait to be finished.

    “A young girls introduction to womanhood is reflected in the rites and traditions of a culture.” (Samarisa, Arts). Like most women, becoming a woman means learning how to take care of their selves on their own, defining who you are for yourself, who you want to be, having future goals set, and developing tools to face the world. Fortunately, I have learned how to apply these skills during my wonderful experience in the 2014 Delta Cotillion. This event has made a remarkable turning point in my life because it was the biggest and most affectionate assembly any girl could ever be in and it was also teaching me to know where and how I wanted to pursue my dreams. Taken forward into life as a woman, these virtues encouraged a sense of responsibility
