English Reflection
Wow!!! I can barely believe it, another year gone!!! You know what they say, ?time flies when you?re having fun.? I have learned a great deal of information this past year, while at the same time having a lot of fun. I feel more than confident moving on to the next year thanks to all my newfound education.

I?ve had many strengths and weaknesses in English this year. My strengths have grown tremendously since last year. My writing skills have grown a lot over this past year. Also, my spelling has improved in ways I never thought were possible. My weaknesses are starting to go down but they still stand high. I still need to work more on my memorization techniques. My reading has gotten to be a little sloppy as well this year. I hope to overcome all of my weaknesses and increase my strengths as much as possible in the future.

This year has helped me discover a lot about myself as a learner and a person. As a learner, I have discovered a treasure. I have found out that I am able to learn anything that I set my mind too. I?ve also discovered that there is always more room left when it comes to learning because u can never have too much education. I have learned many things about me as a person. I have discovered that I am a very nice and loving person. I have also found out that I am a very generous person when it comes to lending a hand. I know that I am a great learner just as much as I am a person.

I?ve had a little of my most and least challenging aspects in this class. The most challenging aspect I?ve had was public speaking. I get nervous quickly when I have to be in front of a lot of people and have to present something. I also get scared that they might not like what I have to say about what I am presenting. My least challenging aspect was writing the controversial essay. I enjoyed writing the controversial essay because I had a lot to say about the subject that I chose to do. I also had fun doing this essay because I liked giving my opinion on the subject

    Responders In 9/11

    Now as a senior on his way to graduate I can’t believe how quickly time has gone. I guess Ms. Burnett was right, senior year does fly by. Though his year was quick it was also difficult. Reason for that was because I was assigned one of the hardest projects I’ve ever had to do. That project was a thesis paper. My thesis paper was about a firefighter policy regarding first responders in 9/11. The paper helped me with my ability to investigate the world because I had to learn more about how 9/11 affected first responders and civilians. I also developed college and career readiness skills by being able to learn how to effectively cite any material from reliable sources. This skill will be extremely useful in future classes in college for thesis…

    I have accomplished a great deal in the past three months. As the semester ends I find myself reflecting not only on how I have survived the first semester but also what I have learned. Writing is hard work. There is so much more to it than just writing an interesting story. I also learned another important lesson; just because I worked hard on an essay before presenting it and reviewed the daylights out of it did not mean it was ready for submission. Every time I went back to read it I found new changes, typos and other mistakes I had missed before.…

    I would say Civics class was my strength throughout the school year because of Coach Richards’s teaching method. Coach Richard’s class is very laidback however; it’s a great learning environment. Another strength I would consider is my change in attitude. I’ve come a long way; I care more about others than myself. My weakness was Algebra1. I chose this class because I could never catch on to anything we used to do in class. My teacher knew the information but could not teach it the right way, she was never consistent with her teaching…

    I have more weaknesses than strengths as a writer. I am not the best writer, I have always had struggle in English class. My personal strengths as a write are being able to understand the concept and being able to find evidence to support my claim/thesis. My personal weaknesses as a writer are editing and grammar. Occasionally, I use the wrong past tense and need improvement on sentence and paragraph structure. I tend to repeat myself a lot. Also, my weakness is time essays, I tend to be a slow writer and I do not work great under pressure.…

    Nursing has been given the idea that a lot of writing is not needed after nursing school, but that assumption is incorrect. Nurses have a lot of daily task, many of them need good writing and comprehension skills which can be developed in English 101 and English 102 classes. Core classes in general will help and the foundations that are taught in those two classes can help make one successful in any career, nursing included. Nursing needs writing in these tasks: creating a daily plan for the patient, writing prescriptions (depending on which position of a nurse), creating a plan for the patient after being discharged, and for communication through emails. With the help received in English 101 and the help I will be receiving in English 102…

    During my first semester as a college freshman I have grown a lot not only as a student, but also as a person. At first I thought of myself as a good writer, but throughout the semester I learned that I had a lot of improvements to make in my writing. Already I have made a lot of progress and will continue to improve throughout the rest of the year in core.…

    Over the course of this year in English, I think my writing process has excelled the most along with my overall writing. In the past, I have used similar techniques to develop a final essay, but, this year, I have begin to rely more heavily on planning out and slowly chipping away at my essays and papers. I believe also that because of this planning the strength of my writing as a whole has grown. Personally, I do not think that I grew in my vocabulary usage. Overall this year, I grew as a writer in ways that I would not have predicted.…

    My former English professor would always say “find a way 101”, whenever a student found themselves struggling in her class. At first I did not understand why she was so rude to her students, this was until after I graduated high school when I realized I was wrong. She was not rude, she was not mean, she was preparing her students for college level English classes. Reflecting on my past encounter with the toughest teacher at my former high school, I can say I feel prepared for a college level class. Although I may have taken the most rigorous class in high school, that does not mean I am expected to pass without falling short. However, I am certain that I am ready for the challenges that my professor will assign me in the fall.…

    As my English 101 class comes to an end there are many valuable lessons we learned in this class. We learned how to respond to the author. We learned how to write in the They Say/I Say style, which I plan on using this style to write in most of my papers from now on. Another lesson we learned in this class was how to create a thesis with tension. The lessons I learned in English 101 will most likely be used again as I progress on with English 102 as well as the rest of my college career.…

    I wasn't so proud about my english grade this year and I know I could have worked harder, but I have always struggled in english. This year taught me not to procrastinate and write an essay the night before it’s due, don’t just read the summaries online when you're told to read a book, and to take time doing your work. I was most definitely proud of my “Where I’m from Poem,” this was our first piece of writing. It described me and my family and where we are from without saying our addresses. When I first got the assignment, I really had to think where I was from besides from 5506 Atlantic Ave. I think that my hardest piece of writing this year, was my dental research…

    Last year had to by far be the toughest year for me in high school. I grew away from many people that I considered some of my closest friends. I also suffered academically because I began to spend less time doing work and being focused on less important things. I got caught up in unnecessary drama, went on my first college visits, and met new people in the matter of one year. Not only did I grow as a person, I grew as an athlete, I grew as a sibling, and I grew as a young woman. My junior year allowed me to develop my expectations for myself in life and my expectations for the people who I choose to surround myself with. This was the year that I decided who I would want to become in the future.…

    I have tremendously enjoyed my time this year in english 9 with you. Individually I have grown and developed in many areas, but I have also have areas that still need improvement. I believe that I have grown the most in understanding the main idea and theme of a story. In the beginning of the year I could tell you what the theme was, but writing out a thesis statement was not my strong suit. This is why I also created many strong thesis statements throughout the year. I believe that I wrote my best thesis in my Romeo and Juliet essay because my feedback was that I had a very strong, clear main idea. A strong thesis statement provided a strong base for the overall idea of my writing, but in a way caused trouble further down the road. I had trouble connecting my evidence pieces to my thesis statement. For example, in my TKM essay you gave me feedback that I should build more on my evidence pieces. Throughout the whole year I had trouble connecting my evidence pieces and links back to my thesis statement because the explanation is the piece that ties the story together as a whole. Since these pieces make up most of writing, I have had to spend the most time on these. Success or progress you have definitely taught me how to further my writing this year.…
