How Does Football Affect Time?
over the course or this year, i've written many essays and multiple cornell notes. Throughout the year i've found myself in modest improvement. In the future, i believe that i can make minor corrections to grammatical errors and set goals for the up and coming essays and prompts. For example, a goal that i have for this quarter is to turn my work in on time. So far, during the second quarter, continuously fall behind on homework and classwork has developed into a problem. I realize that football practice and traveling for football has affected the amount of time that i have to complete my homework but it is no excuse. Due to this time efectancy complication, my ability to perfect my writing skills has lacked causing me to fall behind in various

    My Writitng Changes

    My writing has improved so much since coming to College. In high school, I really didn't care about my writitng at all. My main focus was to get everything done as fast as possible. To be honest, I really don't like writitng at all! I think it's boring and not very fun. My writting was bad in high scool as well, and I didn't really improve at all through my four years. But since coming to UNI, my writitng has changed so much! I care a lot more about it and I am more invested in it. Looking back at my ealriest wirirtng, I thought it was terrible and so much to fix. My ealries writitng's really didn't have much flow to it and my senctences were moslty run on's. Having Cornerstone this semster really imporved my wirritng. My profesor made writitng…

    Dual Credit English Reflective Essay

    This class has taught me many things about myself along with many necessary skills needed while writing. I know now that, through hard work and determination, I can achieve what I might think to be impossible. While reflecting back on my initial writing abilities, I see the weak, uneducated style of writing. Each essay shows my progression and improvement, and, after a while, the class began to become much easier. Today, after practicing throughout my essays this semester, I believe that I, in fact, have…

    Writing: Better and Portfolio

    Secondly, I have chosen three items, namely, cause, contrast and argument paragraph. Those are three topics that I have written the most recently. They can show my improvements in writing paragraph skills. In these items, I want to improve many things such as ways of using comma splice, how to use words more reasonable and widening my ideas. Actually, I have not had good performance in this semester. I have made many mistakes. I used grammar uncorrectly or used wrong verds’ position as well as adjective and noun. My ideas are not often clear and limited, so my writing is very boring without much creativity and many evidences. Besides, because I now base on Internet so much, it seems to be difficult for me to make new ideas and write at class, which results in the fact that my paragraph isnot perfect and good. Sometimes I really feel depressed and donot know what I should do. Thanks to my writing teacher, however, I have improved quite a lot. For example, I donot use wrong phrases “such as”, “ result in” and so on and adjectives’ position as well as how to use comma splice in contrast and…

    Reflective Essay: My Development As A Writer

    I now have a more efficient system of planning and write multiple drafts before I feel at ease with submitting an assignment. Not only that, I now feel confident when writing papers and am able to complete assignments with little or no writers block. Although, writing in college has not been the easiest. It took me a while to transition to this level of writing and took a lot of hard work to get to where I am at now. Sometimes, I find myself over reviewing an assignment before I actually turn it in. Not that this is bad, but at times it takes me longer to submit an assignment than it…

    Personal Narrative: My Progress In My Academics

    My work from the beginning of STEP to now has drastically changed especially in my writing. I never enjoyed writing essays because I did not do well with writing under pressure. After completing my essay, I felt confident about what I produced. However ,when my essay was handed back, it was noted that I lacked vocabulary, figurative language and my sentence structure was poor. After being in class, I have improved on my essay writing skills. I used more vocabulary terms than I usually would in my essays, had better sentence structure, and completed the entire essay with time to spare to check it over. In addition I learned that i have been using seven deadly writing sins in my writing. Continuously writing and having my peers edit my work helped me eliminated those sins from my writing. When school starts again, I will be prepared to write a timed essay with the new skills I have attained.…

    Why We Shouldn't Write Essays

    The main problem students have with writing essays is not knowing how to manage their time well. Often times, we procrastinate because we choose to do other things instead. Given a 1-2 week time period to complete an essay seems like a lot of time until procrastination takes over. Writer's block, and distractions are a huge contribution to procrastinating as well. Sometimes you just don't know where to start when you write an essay, or your ideas and words may not flow together. You'll try over, and over again but it just doesn't sound right. As a result, you become discouraged and leave it to do “later.” Instead of trying to write your essay, you get distracted by your phone, favorite show, or computer. This easily makes “later” become the night before it's due, and by then we're struggling to cram in all of the other homework we have to do still.…

    In the 3rd week of class, I experienced the pain of regret as my concentration level had dwindled, and this was solely because I was busy surfing the net on my phone, playing video games, chatting on Facebook, and snap chating. I could gain access to D2L and the course material via my cell phone, nonetheless I was easily distracted. The 4th week of class, I wrote my very first essay, and I was precisely disappointment at my writing skills; I could not apply proper punctuation's, and at that point I was a step closer to dropping out of…

    Personal Narrative: My Writing Process

    My strengths and weaknesses have changed since the beginning of the year. One thing that did not change was my ability to work under pressure. I learned that I write best when I have the pressure of the essay being due soon. This can be a double-edge sword since it causes me to write fewer words in a week than in one day before the assignment is due. Because of this, I generate fake deadlines to speed up my writing process. I discovered a weakness of not being able to write down the words onto the paper; using a mentally placed deadline, I have no other option than to just throw the words onto the paper. Also, another weakness of mine…

    Personal Narrative: My Writing Recording Sheet

    My writing recording sheet shows the many fluctuations of my writing grade. My year starts off with an okay start, and then towards the middle, my grades started to plummet. I would attribute that to my lack of focus in proofreading and properly checking my work. Over my last few assignments, I have been marked off for things that I could have easily attained point. During the start of the year, recording my mistakes down did really benefit me in my future assignments, but there would always be times where a mistake would slip through my proofreading. At most times, it would be my header where I might have forgotten my title, had too much spacing, or etc. Towards the end of the year, I kind-of fell off from recording in great detail as I started…

For instance, English 102-06 the work itself is intense, there is a lot of reading and writing. I tried to make a class schedule to accommodate my job, study time, and time for my four year old daughter.

Every day I am learning what is expected of me as a writer. I am learning what to do and what not to do.…

    Goal Reflection Report

    During this quarter, I believe I accomplished all my goals. First, I took one-two hours a night Monday thru Thursday and three-four hours a night Friday thru Saturday to do homework and studying. Second, I gained a lot of refreshers from being out of school for sixteen years and achieved a 92% and above in English 085 with better writing skills at an English 101 level so that I could advance at the end of the quarter, which I did. Third, was to focus in the middle of this quarter on what I needed to do next to achieve my steps over the next two quarters: what classes I need to take and which classes would be smart to take each quarter so that none of my classes clash and put me behind, which I have done. Looking back on these goals that I made at the beginning of the quarter, I know I will still work towards my future goals the same way, but without being so hard on myself and by starting…
