Humorous Moment

From the time I was in about fourth or fifth grade I began to dislike certain subjects in school. I loathed everything about writing assignments. I didn’t write at home before that the thought of writing for myself never really occurred to me. I hated the deadlines the

Some situations can be extremely funny and is good for everyone to show that you have a sense of fun and humour, so long as it isn’t unkind or be undermining to individuals.

When I stop to think about the memory’s that I have made during my first semester of college; there are both good and bad pieces or times that present themselves. Often with many things there are gray areas, and writing would fall in there for me. I fortunately understand now that I have times where I can over look many of my writing flaws. Such as sentence structure! This by far was my biggest problem in this class, and I fully understand why. Personally I have times that will type up a paragraph and never notice the mistake. That is until someone points it out to me. It’s almost like my brain knows that something is wrong with it, but for some unknown reason it won’t register when I’m revising my paper. So as a writer I have realized that I need to take advantage of people around me and get their feedback on my essay’s; because

When we did peer reviews, then I notice that the teacher was not the only one making remarks in my paper. My classmate had difficult times to understand what I was writing. When I was asked to read my work aloud for others to follow, I noticed several grammatical errors. For the past four months, I learned several

Final exam essay When I started this semester in English 111, I wasn’t must of a writer. I made a lot of grammar errors that a novice writer would make. Over the semester I have improved my writing skills due to this class. In the beginning of the semester we were asked to write an essay to see what type of writers we were as an individual. I struggled to write that first essay, because I would over think the essay while in deep thought thinking what the professor would think of my writing. Furthermore, I showed my writing skills as writer and scored a high grade on my first essay that I was overthinking. However, I realized that I made some that I made a few minor errors in my first essay of the semester. For example hooks are

Bailey Brush Ms. Davis College Prep English 1 31 March 2017 Mark McGwire’s Magical Moment The year of the home run, 1998, as described by Lisa Brush. The race between the St. Louis Cardinals’ slugger Mark McGwire and the Chicago Cubs’ own Sammy Sosa. “It wasn’t just about the home run record, it was a symbol of the St. Louis - Chicago sports rivalries. It meant a lot to the people of St. Louis, especially baseball fans” (Brush). The two cities are not very far apart, which results in the clashing of Cubs and Cards or Blackhawk and Blues fans anywhere that there’s a T.V. with a game on at. However, this day was special. Not only was rivalry stakes on the line, an MLB record also was. This record was Roger Maris’s home run record of 61

In the beginning of the semester when I was in Reading 80, I was overconfident about my own skills so I didn’t pay much attention to the instructor. I was also ashamed to tell my friends that I had this class so on my way to class I would take detours to the classroom jsut so they won’t know what class I had. I was miserable every time I was in this class. I had a hard time reading and I never understood anything. Every time I would duck into class quickly and pray that the teacher doesn’t pick on me to answer questions from our reading assignment. I was even more embarrassed because it was starting to seem like I do need this class, but I was still denying it. Sometimes to bypass the time I would doodle and procasanite instead of reading. I should have not done that. I was slowly falling behind, but I never talk to the instructor about it. She tried to help me many times but I never use my whole heart to try and listen to her. I acted as if she was a tiger and if I approached her I was going to get bit or something or she probably doesn’t care about me. One day during class

Writing has always been a trouble area for me. There have been moments when I just got so frustrated I wanted to give up, especially these past few weeks. My best feedback in high school came from my Mom. She is extremely ill and unable to help me like she

I don’t think I did that much proofreading because I was too excited to just get all my thoughts down. When Ms.Breeden and maybe Mr.McCarthy came by my desk and glanced at my computer just to see what I was writing they were shocked on what I wrote because I wrote about a time when I used to live in Pennsylvania and I would do bad things and people would blame me for things that I didn’t do at school and Ms.Breeden and Mr.McCarthy said you really did that (those things) because you are a good person now or you are a good student now and I told them that when I moved I didn’t do anymore bad things anymore and I said that it was because of my friend choice I had in Pennsylvania and I think it was because of my friend choice. Yes I did some peer editing and this is what they

While taking this course I’ve wrote several papers on subjects that were not typically topics I would do a paper on. After the professor proofed my paper I started to notice a trend in my work. So, going forward I will strive to do my best and fix

All throughout the years of being an English student, have been truly challenging for me. When writing essays, overthinking on what to write on always ended in a mess, either I went off topic or just forgot the prompt. Therefore, the teacher got after me all the time. After writing

In humanities class I have really improved my PIE. My conventions is still not perfect but I'm trying to improve. I read some of my papers that I wrote in 6th grade and let me tell you that they are something that makes me question myself how could I write so bad. To me what I wrote back then is something that I can look at and see how much I've grown in writing. Back then I had so many conventions in my papers that if I had those errors my writing grade would be very, very low.

A key factor of having a strong well-developed character is having the ability to be reflective.This attribute requires being able to take from personal experiences and prior knowledge to look back and search for ways to improve. Reflective individuals strive for excellence and are personally motivated to become the best

My experience of making mistake is I feel too confident and talented in the ESL 263 class. I think this class is easy, so I don’t care much about this class. I remember when I have the first writing assignment, I think it's easy, so I don't practice. I write it only in 3 hours. Then, I turn in the assignment the next day. I believe that I do good enough to get a B in this writing. But I am wrong. When Mr. Lee, my teacher, finishes grading it, he says that a lot of students get the bad grade. I think I will never make mistakes, but it's not right. I have an F for the first writing assignment. I don’t know why. But when I read Mr. Lee comments, I figure out that I misuse of grammar, misuse of the comma. And it happens because I’m too confident.

Self Analysis My junior year I was pretty nervous hearing the word college class, worrying that it was going to be harder than any other english class I would of been able to take. But I knew I needed to take the class it would look better on college applications and would get me a better idea how a college class would be, so I would be ready for next year. Something I have learned so far in my English 1101 class, to always read your paper two or three times because you could always miss a mistake that could make or break your grade peer editing is so important. There has been some challenges throughout the semester my biggest thing has been in my papers I have had many run on sentences that I had no idea to fix. If my teacher didn't teach me how to check for it. My papers have improved a lot since I have seen the actual mistakes that I have made because I never had a teacher that peer edited and then showed me how to fix, I never knew how to fix it until now. I plan to improve on my organization in my papers because sometimes I get off track i’ll be talking about something then go straight to a complete different topic. I’m hoping I will improve on that by the end of the year. I plan to improve on many other things in my papers, I know that I have a teacher that will help with my papers.
