Recommended: The benefits of having a college education

Throughout my high school years the course that made the largest and longest lasting impression on me was Honors British Literature. Not only did the course impact me, but the teacher, Mrs. Cohen, was a tremendous inspiration to me. Throughout the course I was encouraged to express and exercise creativity while also recognizing when to stay professional and use academic language. My confidence in my writing and general abilities improved immensely. Mrs.Cohen would sit with us and casually chat with us when finished with our work and share her experiences and let us voice our concerns while giving advice. The course pushed me to find my inner creativity and express myself in my writings. Each day I was assigned a journal topic that I had the …show more content…

Now, I not only have a new found confidence in writing and in my life skills. Mrs.Cohen provided proper feedback and guidance with each assignment. Due to this, my writing confidence flourished. Without this course, not to mention the teacher, I would not even think about applying for dual enrollment. I certainly feel I have improved in English classes and my passion was rekindled. Mrs.Cohen made me find the enjoyment in writing again and inspired me to be myself. I wish to keep my work ethic, strong to become successful while being myself and I will be forever thankful for …show more content…

I left this course with the skills I can take advantage of in the future. Mrs.Cohen had been to college, therefore, she was able to give tips and tricks on how to survive college. If anyone had a concern, she would give them advice to help them. She offered her time after class to anyone who would want to sit down with her and chat about future plans so she could guide them. Mrs.Cohen made me feel she actually cared about each and every one of us. Classmates and I were all provided with college and scholarship information and anything needed to succeed in applying for college. She was willing to lend an ear to any complaints made. She is a large reason to why this class impacted me a great deal. She openly embraced and expressed her true self without being ashamed of it and I loved it. It felt as she could relate and understand the

    ...out homework, which was a huge stress relief. The class also offered how to write the base foundation of any paper, which is significant to become a great writer as well as to write a flawless paper. Also, the group activities allowed us to get closer with our classmates. However, I feel like some of the activities we did were mediocre and ordinary. But it is hard to tell what experience each student received from their high school. Some knew more than others, and I was just more grateful with the education I obtained from high school. I was also not fond of buying the books for the class, when it was not a necessity for class. We did not put much use into the books, and they were relatively expensive. I do recommend the class, especially to incoming freshman. It is a great foundation for legitimate college writing classes. I enjoyed learning from you Mrs. Penwell.

  • 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

    I wanted to thank Ms. Geary for reminding me how much writing can do for me. It helped me realize that writing isn’t so horrible but it is just hard work. My writing skills have improved due to this class and all Ms. Geary had taught me. She made class fun with her inflections and just the way she says everything, her personality definitely showed through. I looked forward to class but never the homework. Finally after reading over my final drafts of: My Past as a Writer, Problematic Essay and my Exploratory Research Paper I realize that I have dramatically improved my writing skills in every draft thanks to revisions and some positive criticism for Ms. Geary. I think I am now ready to take on the next step in the English world.

    When I reflect on myself in this course I really think about how it opens up one’s mind and inner self. Who would have thought that a course in such a short period of time could make you really think about life and the decisions and choices we make on a daily basis, or the idea of something so simple as why we are the way we are? This course makes you change your perspective on how you view others but especially on how you view yourself. It is almost like an unexpected journey of finding yourself.

    ...larify the structure and destination in which I was headed. By revising my essays I was able to make the content and message seem more important and made the final drafts seem a slight degree better than the originals, but the finals were better nonetheless. The instructor did a very good job in guiding me and helping find my way into writing by focusing on some of the problems I was facing and clarified them so that I would better understand them. The instructor helped me expand on my grammatical by helping me discover what it was that I lacked while constructing basic sentence structure; the usage of commas and semi-colons, quotations, and how to sight titles of books and articles within an essay. This English 101 course I have attended has helped me develop better writing skills as well as helped me create more profound essays and a very satisfying research paper.

    Green, really showed me how to discover myself. She showed us how to find our learning styles so that it would be easier to go through college. She taught us how to understand ourselves, so we can know our values and what makes us, us. She made us pick our careers, and find more about it, so we could know what we were looking for in the future. Today I can say that, with the help of Mrs. Green, I know a little bit more about myself than I did in high school, where I was completely lost. I have found pieces of me that I didn 't know they were there before, and all I need is to put them all together so I can see the full picture one day. Of course that won 't be anytime soon, but one day in the future I hope to see Mrs. Green one day and just thank her, that without her and God 's help, I would have gone through college, and life, without knowing the things that made me realize I had to turn myself around and just think about myself and what I mean to society and the world. I can say that with all the long and painful assignments that we had to do, which I couldn 't finish some (sorry), it helped us realize how important we are, and hopefully be the future generation everyone wants us to be. I have learned a lot through this course, I hope everyone else has to, everything I have learned through it I will cherish forever because I know I will find myself everyday if I do. I know I 'm well prepared for college, a.k.a. life. Thank you Mrs.
