Graduation Speech : An Abstract Point Of Attack

English class has never been my strong suite. I always had to work twice as hard in English then I did in any other class. Writing paper always had me stressed and overwhelmed, I felt discouraged in my work. l never seemed to be able to get to the level I wanted to. I would try my hardest and paid attention in class, but when it came to writing the paper none of that seemed to help. I think that my experience in English Composition 1 has helped gain and grow in some areas, but I don’t think that it highlights a well-written college essay. Some elements that I worked to improving was introduction paragraphs, tone, style, and thesis statements.

I remember when I first came to the Wilkes University, one of my edifier (?) (Friend, teacher, mother) told me "Don’t judge your class in the beginning, judge your class at the end of course”. In the beginning of my classes I was very nervous about how to write an essay. However, I believe my writing skills has effectively improved. To be honest, English 101 wasn’t an easy class for me in the beginning. College writing is entirely different from high school writing. I always have trouble with grammar when I write English essays, and it’s harder for me to learn and improve my skills in a short amount of time.

Running Start is an initial advantage over other students upon graduation. By the time of graduation one who has completed this program is granted an Associate’s Degree with their high school diploma. The program allows a student to take college classes while they complete high school. A student who does this program graduates with their Associate’s Degree without cost, Students also get to experience a college atmosphere, and students also have the opportunity to take courses that coincide with their chosen degree or career choice. Running start is a great program for high school students to complete. This is because a student becomes more independent, they have a loss of socialization in high school, and increases in adult social experiences, as well as different school schedules that are likely to not match up when there are breaks or cancellations of classes, which makes it seem as though there are longer breaks of time than the schedule of a full time high school student.

When I first started taking this class, I had a hard time writing my essays. The main reason I had a rough time was because the last time I had written an essay was in my freshman year of high school. I have improved on many things along the way. I now continue to improve even more. One major aspect that I have improved on is my revision process.

Originally, I was fearful that college would be the same way, a constant flow of distress around essays, but I have found that it is quite structured and spells out what is expected from my papers. Accordingly, I feel that the essays I have completed for this course have allowed me to advance my skills in analyzing and communicating while demonstrating my room for improvement when it comes to personal responsibility and quantitative literacy.

First off I just wanted to say thank you for your service because if it was not for you we would not be writing essays right now. I just have to say, I like the words of Abraham Lincoln’s quote who said, “My dream is of a place and a time where America will once again be seen as the last best hope on earth.” I love the word “Dream” and the part of the quote about the “America’s best and last hope on the earth.” The best last hope on earth makes me happy to read because I believe it is true. America’s gift to my generation is hope.

There a lot that changed when I left high school and on was my process on how I write essays now that I’m in college. I put more time and effort into them, I don’t wait till the very last minute to start working on them. My essays have been getting better, but they still need work. I need to stay more organized and focused on the things I need to do and get it done on time. When I’m stuck I ask for help from a teacher, a friend, or anyone that is willing to help. With all this I feel my essays with greatly improve more the more I work on

When it comes to essay writing, college and high schools have different approaches during the writing process. In this online blog, “High School vs. College Essay Writing” written by Polina at University language, she argues how colleges write essays and how high school students differ from it. Her argument, compared to the other articles sort of disagree, stating that, “Your writing hasn’t changed; college essay writing requirements are simply different than those of high school essay writing” (Polina 2). Entering college there are multiple requirements for writing an essay, “Essays that were getting perfect grades in high school are often criticized in college” (Polina, P. 2). For example, when writing an essay teachers only want to see

This semester while attending English 1102 I have had some rude awakenings. I have discovered that writing essays for Gentry take time and patients, which is something I never really put into essay before now. I usually just waited until the last minute and wrote the first thing that came to my mind. Then I would do very little revising and I would get a graded I was content with having. Then this class came about and I had to break myself out of the role of writing my essay the day of or the night before. I also had to take the time and read the novel or story I was about to write an essay on. It has also taken me the whole semester to figure out what exactly evidence was and what was supposed to be in the conclusion. I have finally realized the mistakes I have been making and this allowed me to get most of my essays to at least a B.

Good Morning. Hope your Friday 2/10/2017 finds you well today. So Terry, I believe it almost 3 weeks casting and I try sending to the web week ago, I sent a letter in answer for Hope and Naomi. Even fought whether send the letter to find someone would respond probably and because no one got back to me could you please answer... Then when we got home last night 2/10/17from practice Naomi asking again did someone call, did we receive message it would ok that no call ,if no every said that everyone would receive word. No tears, this week like last week or; they said would call everyone, and even If they did not get in. Hope Elizabeth has slightly autism so she’d believed people when they have said something is going to happen like calling, they

I have never been an extremely strong writer, so the thought of writting college level essays frightend me. I received good grades on all my essays in high school because I put in 110% when only 100% was needed. I would stay after school and talk to my teacher or spend my lunch and before school in the tutoring center. I never put that much effort into any of my other classes. My sister who is a senior at Arizona State University would always tell me how you do not get the one on one help you get in high school in college. Therefore, my expectation for the class' dificulty level was high. I believed there would be multiple ten page essays that we would be given a relatively short amount of time to finish. Despite how terrifying that was to

The Fall of 2010 was about as normal as every other fall that preceded it. The leaves changed colors and the weather got colder. It also meant that school was back in session. To me, fall time meant athletics were back in season. I was entering 7th grade and I was bummed that summer was over but excited because I was almost a year older. I was about to turn thirteen years old; I could almost call myself a teenager. I had always participated in sports but this was my first year that I could play middle school sports. I tried out for the football team and made it. I officially was an athlete for my school and I could not have been more excited. I felt like I mattered. My relationship with my father was like any other. Or at least I thought. As the season went on, the only time he came to anything of mine was to pick me up from practice or after an away game; to make it worse, he never came to any of my games which disappointed me. But it never occurred to me that something was weird between us.

My experience with English has changed drastically from middle school to college. Being in middle school I have really had to do much of a big paper, but as I progressed through college I’ve realized there much more that has to be added. I had always wondered why middle school was so easy but as years went on, I realized that advancing to college there’s a lot more requirements and importance to writing. In middle school, I was young and just starting to really realize what an essay was and after high school I really understood what an essay consists of. No matter how

Good evening, everyone. Now is the time for me to come in front of these 400 students in identical caps and gowns and tell them to go out and be individuals. Looks like I have my work cut out for me. Seriously, though, consider what we've gone through. 13 years of schooling, 18 years of growing up! And reflecting back on these years, what do we have to show for it? We have our memories. Some of you may know the old saying, "Knowledge is not what the pupil remembers but what he cannot forget." What will remain in our minds after tonight? What memories will become those valuable gems of unforgettable knowledge?

English class seemed to be the most dreadful to take within school. Writing essays for most of my grade in a class is not what I was looking forward too. When I entered college I knew that it would be one of many challenging classes I would have to take. Starting from the lowest English class to moving on up, the writing assignments became longer and more thought out. The time came when I got into this class that I knew more work was going to have to be put into essays and thus brought out what I had not seen before in my work progress.
