Writing Reflection Three

The final essay has been turned in and graded and this is also the final reflection essay. I am relieved and happy that I was able to get everything done. I was able to learn a lot in this class as far as becoming a better writer. I have gotten better with my grammar, sentence structure, the structure of the essay, etc. I still have flaws in my writings, frequently, but nowhere near as much as I had when the semester first began. Also, I liked this last essay a lot because it was different for me and it allowed me to write a little better just because I had just written about it. 

To begin, I would like to talk about my progress from when I first started the class to now. When I first began the class and we would write our daily journals, I would write about anything, but I wished I would have written more about a sole topic instead of when was going on that day or what was going on in my head at that time. When I would get my journals back from being reviewed, I would have so many errors like, fragments, run-on sentences and a bunch of grammar mistakes. Since then, I have seen a decrease in errors on my papers and I have found that my essays and journals are much easier to read now. My thought process is better now as well, when trying to figure out what I wasn’t to write for my journal. I have a better flow when I write now. Meaning that it feels easier and more comfortable writing and then typing out my papers.  

Next, essay number four was probably my favorite essay that we had to write. I enjoyed the topic that we had to write about which was, research papers. The reason I liked this topic so much was because, it was fresh on my mind, so I had enough information that I could talk about without having to stop multiple time to think about what I wanted to write next. I also like the fact that research papers allow students to learn on their own and it also give the teacher a little break from teaching. This essay was the easiest for me to write because I already had thought about it and because of the progress that I have made. Due to my progress, my writing skill has gotten better, so now it is easier for me to write.  

This class has helped me so much and I am happy that I have gotten better at writing. This will only help me in the future going forward. I believe that this class has helped me become a better writer and student. A better student because it has forced me to manage my time properly and most importantly, write better. I now have a better understanding of what a well-constructed essay looks like and I am more confident in my writing.
