My Journey as a Writer
The beginning of course English 101 was challenging and stressful, this class introduced me to many different types of paper topics that I never knew existed. There are so many things that come to play when it comes to writing, from grammar to punctuation mechanics, etc. Before this class I was not aware of any writing process and all of the different types of essays and so I felt overwhelmed every time I had to write about a new topic. I struggled with gathering my thought and placing them on paper. Being that English is my second language, I tend to think in Spanish when writing making it hard for me to write without mixing up my pronouns and verbs. …show more content…
Also, I learn that writing is a process that takes time and commitment and it is a lot of work, which does not happen overnight. It takes a lot of brainstorming, developing a thesis; drafting and revising as many times, in order to complete your assignment. There are multiple aspects of English that I understand better as a result of taking this class. Taking this class provided me with different exercises material and writing.

Through the help of my professor and all the hard work I put into this class, I am a better writer today than when I started. After taking this class, I have made several improvements, however I still have some more growing to do as a writer. I just have to remember that what I’ve learned here, I will have to apply in other future papers.
Thinking back, I remember the first paper I wrote for this class proved to be the most challenging one. The reason for this is because I had little experience when it came to writing a paper. It was difficult to present solid paper without know all the techniques that I have learned in this eight weeks.
This course has helped me feel accomplished, I feel confident in my reading and writing skills. I now understand better what it means to write a more profound paper by using the different skills and techniques I learned in this class. Overall, this class taught me that with hard work and practice you can achieved anything you put your mind in to. I believe everything I have learned in this class will be extremely beneficial in my future
