My first few weeks of class so far have been hectic. Essay one was certainly a reality check. I thought I was a great writer, but I am more of a good writer. This experience was refreshing and needed. I tried to take my time on this essay. The importance of this essay is to figure out what I could improve on. I believe essay one was a good representation of what I need to work on to become a better writer.   

     My experience with this essay was needed. This was my first essay in college. I was assigned the essay on my first day of class. I already knew college was no joke. Being in college gives me more of a push to work harder on essays. I just never knew what I was doing wrong. That is why this essay was refreshing in a way. I had to take my time on it and try to perfect it.

     The essay took me two to three hours to complete. I had worked on it outside of class only. I completed the essay in just one time period. I realized that is not a good idea. I am better off working on it in portions. This essay was important to see where I was as a writer.

     This essay was like a test of my ability. What I could do to improve in my writing. After writing this essay, I noticed that my sentence structure is not great, and I could improve it. I figured out my strengths and weaknesses. Essay one helped me find my weaknesses.

     In conclusion, I have been able to correct my mistakes. I now have experience in college writing to know the expectations. I know how much time is needed to write an essay efficiently and correctly. I also know what I am strong at and what I need to get better at. My first college essay was very enlightening and gave me things to improve on.
