My Reflection In My Writing
Reflection

The first piece of writing in this section is my creative writing. I wrote this piece during my sophomore year after creating a dating website in my spanish class with mrs. kernen. The purpose of this paper was to develop a dating profile of a person that we made up and present it in front of the class. At the time i wrote this paper, my creative writing was not as nearly as good as they are now. Looking back at this piece, i can tell i was ineffective because i had more grammatical and punctuation errors than i should have. I was intrigued by the topic as well, so the amount of time that i had put into this piece of writing was proved within this writing assignment.

Now that I am a senior, I look at this piece and see how immature

    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.…

    When one masters a certain practice, one becomes confident and nearly perfects the practice either because one had guidance or practiced continuously. I have not put myself in either one of those situations. To be honest, I write ‘put myself’ because I believe I had the choice of removing myself from classrooms to another better one; and the choice of being able to discipline myself to practice writing continuously.…

I enjoy writing about the things that matter to me in life such as, cars, scientific articles, and breakthroughs in technology. I really enjoy the art of writing, however It takes a lot of brainpower to get me into the swing of writing properly and efficiently.…

    Throughout my writing experience I have always struggled with my body paragraphs. I tend to always have a strong introduction but once I began to go into my first body paragraph I lose my train of thought. One of my main issues is that I get to wordy. Which then leaves me with fragments. Lastly, which I’m sure most people have an issue with is basic grammar errors such as, spelling and placing commas. I feel that my writing has had a small progression. Through this class I have learned more writing techniques that have helped me as a writer.…

    Coming into preparing for my paragraph I had three goals; make a strong a valid point, answering all of the possible questions a reader may have, and having a structured well developed paragraph. I wanted to maitain these goals throughout the writing process. I had to do minimal research becasuse I was familiar with the topic. There are three reasons why I chose to write about the qualities it takes to be a firefighter. First, I was able to choose the topic that I was most comfortable with. Second, I knew a lot about the efforts it takes to becoming a firefighter. I had a lot of outside information that most people would not get by simply using google. Finally, I felt for the first time, that I organized my writing in such a way that the message was clear and my opinion was supported with facts and life experiences. By doing this parargraph, I learned that it was important to have an organized outline, facts that support my position and details that enhance the message. It was a very long process for online one single paragraph but it allowed me to get several peer edits and other peoples opinions to make it an exceptional reading. Allowing my peers to look at my rough draft and make corrections or suggestions was a great and simple way for me to enhance my brain into creating structure. It also allowed me to interact with my classmates and brain storm. Overall it was well drawn out process and beneficial experience. I was able to maintain my goals throughout the process and learn some new techniques and develop them into my writing.…

    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.…

    In school, we have been required to write many papers on many different subjects, some being timed and others not. Writing has never been something that has come easy to me, especially when put on the spot and told to write a paper in a certain amount of hours. When I write, I like to have time to think and plan my essay. Being able to revise and edit the paper makes it even better than it was before. When I am given the time to plan my essay, the writing has more depth than when I am put on the spot and have no time to think about what will go into my paper.…

    My personal reflection paper was a fun paper to write. I enjoyed reflecting on my childhood, but more so I am enjoying the learning experience. I have found that I am not as terrible in certain areas as I believed I was; however, I have learned some new areas I need to work on. My punctuation needs some work as well as my word choices; on the other hand, I have good sentence combining and I provide examples to illustrate my claims. I will better myself in the obvious areas that need work; similarly, I will continue to better myself in the areas I am strong at because there is always room for improvement.…

    Beginning at the end of 9th grade to the middle of 11th I could not stop writing. Everything from conversations at the dinner table to dreams in the middle of the night inspired me. At the start of the second semester of 11th grade, however, I started writing less and hated everything that came on the page. As an attempt to inspire myself I read through 600 conversations, stories, and story ideas I had written from that period. Amazed by the beautiful sentences I had written, but I tried to understand what had happened within those few months. I realized that that period in my life was before the stress of college applications when my life was just me, my courses, and my writing. For the sake of my writing, I knew I needed to attend a school…

    I have learned a lot of things about myself as a writer in this semester discourse term/class. Learning new ways and styles to write different kinds of papers was a good thing to add to my education and work experience. Some of the things that I have learn about myself as a writer are good and bad. A couple of good things that I learned about myself as a writer is that I was able to gain an experience on how to organize my ideas and getting them down on paper. I have also noticed that I got good at getting a working theme going on while making my writing unique while in times provoking or emotionally inspiring to a reader. I had shared some of my work with a close friend before turning it in a couple times with my rough drafts and got a couple comments on what she thought before and after reading it. The way my…

    I believe the biography I completed at the commencement of this course was thorough and on review it remains a fair representation of myself, and my perception of my writing abilities. As to being an ‘accurate picture’ of my writing that is a different story. I suspect my perception of both history and writing is filtered extensively through the lenses of past experience and current status which result in a kaleidoscope of writing styles. This ever-changing paradigm is clearly evident in all my written expression and as I look back at the biography and other writing samples I see different voices. To explain further one particular past and current prism is the impact of environment, at a given moment. I think I adopt the style and tone (voice) of whatever context I see and surround myself with. Compound this with the influence of favorite authors, books and topics and my writings become an amalgam of styles. It is questionable if I ever have a style of my own, which is the root of my doubt. Talent is difficult to envision, when it is something you truly…
