Reflection Essay: How I Have Changed Writing Skills?

I feel that I have expanded writing skills, but I need to keep improving them to be prepared for the real world. Over the course I have grown and learned more than I thought possible. I have learned here how to write and express myself, and how to think for myself. This essay demonstrates that I have developed my communication and personal thinking skills. However, I need to keep working on many aspects such as word choice and sentence structure.

Writing has never been my forte. While it has been a difficult semester, I believe that my writing skills have improved. I corrected errors that I repeated very often in all my essays. In each objective of the course I improve and grew as a writer. In my first essays I did not adopt an appropriate

' ') The instructor indicated me that when you repeat the same information over and over the reader feels overwhelm. I made this mistake unconsciously, then in the other essays I had to review many times my content. In spite of that, I continued to have small problems and I continued to repeat myself. In the introduction of my essay "Mexican Drug War" I explain, ' 'Drug cartel made Mexico a dangerous place to live ' ', then, I wrote, ' 'This war made Mexico become one of the most dangerous countries in the world. ' ' The teacher stressed me this error in the majority of my work. In my last essay the teacher told me that this time I did not repeat myself. With all this, I learned to be more focused on the revision of the information that I write. In fact, in this way is how I developed personal responsibility
