Personal Narrative: What I Learned In My English Class
Spending the last few months in this English class, I’ve realized that this was a very differently structured class than any other class that I have already previously taken. This class pushed me to step out of my comfort zone with writing, striving me to be better every day of class. From reviewing and reading my day one essay I’ve truly realized I have come a long ways away from my first day here in class, and that I have even longer ways to go getting better. I see the improvements I’ve accomplished from rereading my day one essay, going over what I’ve learned and still need to improve, and looking over past assignments the have helped me the most. My day one essay was written on my second day at Collage of the Desert, it was a nervous week of learning where things are located and getting used to collage life. Rereading this brings back all those memories of that first week. Looking at my essay now almost makes me laugh from saying how I knew MLA format so well when in reality I am finding so many grammar mistakes just by glancing over it. I feel for looking at my essay now that at the time I thought it was alright but when I look at it now I’m sad to say this paper is mine. If I were to rewrite this today, I would actually have a thesis and a MLA structure. My day one essay

wasn’t really an essay of how I wrote it. I think I just wrote it like a big long text instead of MLA format. My progress since my day one essay I see what I have learned a huge amount from in writing, and what I desperately need to improve on.
One of the items of writing I see that I’ve improved on is my MLA. When I started this class I truly thought my MLA formatting was on top of it, but I was very much mistaken. Every paper I’ve turned in class the biggest issue was MLA formatting, it was almost getting repetitive of how every time I turned in any kind of writing that required MLA, that it had major MLA issues. Even after rereading it, I still was surprised of how much I would miss. Overall what I have improved the most was my MLA, and what I still need to improve a pone is my
MLA. The assignments that we have done in class were overall really unique that I’ve never done before. The most influential assignment that really helped me was the ICW’s. The ICW’s we did every day in class every day taught me a good amount about writing. Before taking this class, if you told me I had to write a 150 word minimum assignment in one hour I would wine and complain. But after doing it every single day of class it got to the point of being straight up easy for me. But one of my most disliked assignments was the free writing essays that we had to do twice in the semester. I most likely did like the assignment as much was from my hate of hand writing papers, if the assignment was on a compute it would have completely changed my feelings for the assignment. In conclusion, I really enjoyed this class. It was the first time having a English teacher really read my papers and give me good insight of what I needed to change with it or where I could continue with it. If I were to retake this class again I would have taken the rough drafts more seriously and would have talked to the teacher more often on the status of paper of where I should improve. I felt this class really did help me in my future in collage to come. I see the improvements I’ve accomplished from rereading my day one essay, going over what I’ve learned and still need to improve, and looking over past assignments the have helped me the most.
