Recommended: Time management skills

When I first signed up for this class, I thought that it would be easy since it was a summer course. This was somewhat the case. The class overall was not hard but there was a lot of assignments to keep up with. When I first started my summer courses I had trouble managing my time and completing my assignments in a reasonable time. As the semester came to an end, I believe that I have grown in terms of time management. I still procrastinate sometimes on little things but not as much as I did in the beginning. I am happy that I learned so many great writing tips so early on in my college career so that it can help me further down the road. My favorite essay was the creative writing essay. When I first took a look at the class syllabus and saw that I would be doing a creative writing essay I was pretty nervous. I have never seriously done one and did not think that I …show more content…

I have lived with the secret of being in foster care since I was twelve and I feel relieved that I was finally able to share my story with someone who does not already know it. It is actually funny when I think about it. I shared this personal part of my life with a complete stranger who I have never had the opportunity of meeting, yet I have friends that I have known for years that I still haven 't told. Although this essay was seen by one person, if I were to rewrite it and publish it, my target audience would be foster children who too may be going through a rough time in their life. When I was first placed into foster care, I did not think I had anyone. I was depressed and alone (or so I thought). The message I want to send to the people who read this is believe in your dreams. I would not be where I am today if I listened to the number of people who told me I could not do this or that. I am not saying I am perfect because I am not but as my essay said, “There is only one way to go, and that way is

  • Reflection On The English 1301 Course

    2291 Words  | 5 Pages

    Entering this course I was worried because I have struggled with writing in the past, and writing has never been my strongest area. I feared writing classes in middle and high school, and had the same expectations for this course. I had wondered if I was ready for college English, and was worried that my skills and abilities would not be one the level they needed to be for college courses. My attitude and understanding of my writing process have both changed since the beginning of this semester. One thing that really helped my attitude and confidence was the fact that I was able to complete the assignments and get a decent grade. I was worried that I might not be able to do college level writing, and when I started completing the assignments and learning new ways to write my confidence and attitude changed. Another thing that really helped me throughout this course was that there was plenty of reading and information available to guide me through my assignments. I realized that there was more freedom when it comes to writing than I had experienced in high school. Being able to write more freely, and the freedom to choose what subjects I would write over made the assignments more enjoyable and easier to

  • Reflection Of Writing: 'The Achievement Of Desire'

    1712 Words  | 4 Pages

    I had always been a strong writer in high school; I know how to form an argument and support it fully, but this did not prepare me for the writing at a college level. I expected to be reading long and boring books about topics that did not pertain to my life; as it turns out, this assumption was completely false. All of the three essays that we were required to read in class were fairly difficult to understand, but after a second reading, the essay's meaning became clearer. I also feel as though their messages and key ideas are captivating. I definitely thought they would be extremely dry and difficult to understand.

    The most important hurdle to overcome in the course was mainly myself and my old writing habits. Adjusting to the course is a goal that one needs to overcome post-haste, the more time it takes one to adjust, the worse your grade will be. A critical aspect of adjusting is the ability to change the writing requirements based on what class one is in. By figuring out the appropriate text to use in each class, it would help one adjust to the course faster. In my history class, writing is mainly facts piled on other facts with no set of techniques, while writing class involves a lot more critical thinking. I extremely enjoyed this course because I found that I can express my own personal views while maintaining the foundation of my papers.

  • Final Reflection Essay

    Throughout this course, I have faced many obstacles. One of the biggest struggles I faced was procrastination and being forgetful. I don’t feel that I am an awful writer; I feel that many of my low grade papers come from writing them the night before they were due. I’ve always had problems with writing papers last minute in high school. The difference between the two is that in high school if I didn’t have a paper in on time, I could turn it in late and still receive positive feedback and a pretty decent grade. In this course, it is a big deal to turn in something late. I feel that if I had used my time wisely and paced out the papers that I wrote, they would be better

Although each essay we did was different I was able to begin with one essay and throughout the semester turn it into two other essays. I was able to change my style of writing to fit the type of audience I was working with. I will continue to work on my writing and keep improving it.

    There were many worries that crossed my mind when I was singing up for this online class. I have never taken an online class before, so I did not know how I was going to do. I had heard that it was hard to have the motivation to do the assignments on your own. On top of that I am a perfectionist, so time management is not one of my strengths. Typically, I spend too much time making sure one part of my paper or

  • Most Satisfying Essay

    Although there are multiple essays that I could consider to be my most satisfying essay, the one that I am most proud of is synthesis essay that was assigned as summer homework. This assignment was one of the highest grades that I have ever received in English class this year. I also consider this to be my most satisfying essay because I had never written a synthesis essay before the assignment, and I was able to get a high grade on the essay. The fact that I received such a good grade on an essay that I was unfamiliar with, made me really proud of myself. Overall I feel very satisfied with my writing skills, specifically the

  • Personal Narrative Essay: A Long Day Of Work

    1167 Words  | 3 Pages

    I get home from a long day of work in the normal fashion; dirty, tired, and hungry. I worked at a lead products and chemicals plant which was my first full-time job out of high school. On a typical week I would work anywhere from 60 to 80 hours; which, for a 18 year old right out of high school, can be somewhat tiresome. I became independent and self-reliant at a very young age, but my mother was always my number 1 cheerleader. Even though I was making more money than my 18-year-old self knew what to do with, I still lived at home with my patents because I had such a wonderful relationship with the both of them. I tended to my own business, doing my own laundry and packing my own lunches, but sometimes mom loved to surprise me with a lunch
