Reflection Of An Essay Writing

Knowing that as a nurse, I may be faced with this type of situation, it made me reflect upon what my duty would have been toward my own patients. I could relate to the staff member that we’re feeling torn about leaving because I too have a family and would have faced the same dilemma had I been presented with the same situation. What I learned from writing this paper was that you can be faced with decisions that are not easy, but we must try to come up for the best possible outcome for all the parties involved. Working as part of a team, we must pull together and make compromises, which did not happen within the article. It was not an easy choice for anyone to make on who should stay or leave, and I was uncomfortable with some of the decisions made by the hospital. What I learned from the overall experience was that throughout my own career there may be times that I must accept the decision made about my patient that I do not agree with. This becomes even harder once you build a relationship with your patient. I believe I am part of a healing and caring profession and patient must be treated fairly and with compassion. As nurses we are direct care professional who tends to the daily care of our patient and it is our duty to advocate for our patient well-being and it was not shown within the

I feel strongly and I am convince that the fact that I had a headache and blocked sinuses affected my learning during the course time.

Frederick Douglass, an African-American writer that I look up to, once said,"We have to do with the past, only as we can make it useful to the present and the future.” This quote was meaningful to me during my 8th-grade-year. In my early years of school, When I was born, I had my tongue attach to the bottom of my mouth. My parents did not fix the problem until I was three years old. Because they waited so long, I developed a speech impediment that hinders my ability to pronounce certain words. Central York School District made me take a Reading test that determines where I would be placed in English. The tests were against me every time I take the test. I hate being in the remediation course, because of the course I was restricted to have the freedoms that my other classmates had. My 8th-grade-year change how I see English today.

I would like to think that I had some significant growth as a writer in my first semester as a college student. My rhetorical analysis essay, persuasive essay, and reflective analysis essay were all very different from each other in how I approached them and felt about them, but each one helped me grow as a writer in different ways. The rhetorical analysis was my first college essay so I felt some extreme self-imposed pressure to do well on it. I really enjoy writing persuasive essays because it causes you to form your own opinions and support them with evidence. My least favorite essay would most likely have to be the reflective analysis essay. I absolutely despise sharing my thoughts and emotions with people, let alone writing them. Beginning the essay was extremely difficult for me. However, I did found it to be the easiest essay to write once I had all my ideas gathered together. The point is, these three essays all had their pros and cons to them, but nonetheless, they each helped me grow as a writer in their own way, which helped me reach many of the stated outcomes for this class. This paper examines some of my work in these essays and describes how I was able to reach some of the course objectives.

During the course first semester of freshman year in English 101, I have learned multiple foundations when it comes to writing. When I first entered college, the only knowledge when it comes to writing was the basic of gathering a bunch of information on a piece of paper. Knowing that writing wasn’t my strongest suit throughout my academic career, it was challenging for me. Going through my first college class, which was English 101, I realized that writing is more than just putting words on paper. I have learned the purpose of writing and the structure to make a solid concrete essay such as to create the thesis statement to acknowledge what the reader is going to read and a technique to help edit and limit word, together with discovering a connection with myself in writing.

What concepts, principles, or ideas that you have learned, do you think you will remember the most after you leave this class?

I have learned many things throughout the course of the term like how to write an essay and how to improve on essays that I have already written, how to locate and composite better research through the use of numerous resources found at the campus library, the internet, how to cite research, examples, and quotations properly within the contents of my research paper as well as document it accurately according to MLA standards. In this class I have learned to write and format an essay the correct way such as a rhetorical essay and visual analysis and lastly compositors essay. Through the exploration of the “Subjects and Strategies” textbook, I have learned nine different methods used when writing an effective essay and how the different writing styles affect the overall theme and tone of the essay when used properly.

There I was in the eleventh grade in my final month of school before Summer break. I was sitting in the front row near the door of my Math Inquiry classroom, just behind the foreign exchange student from Japan, Kokoro. The room was empty with just two students. With five total in the class, three of which were absent, it was just Kokoro and I. As we were looking over the math I found it to be the most heinous subject. I could not comprehend the material my teacher lectured on the unit circle. The curriculum for that was difficult. As a result my teacher Mrs. Dickey an intervention specialist and math major managed to answer my questions when I could not comprehend the material.

When I first began taking this English course, I believed there was little left for me to learn in terms of writing. However, after examining an author’s purpose while writing my rhetorical analysis, grouping together evidence in support of my argument during the persuasive unit, and analyzing myself and my beliefs while reflecting on myself in my reflective analysis, I discovered that my writing evolves as I mature and develop new beliefs. Throughout the duration of this class, I uncovered new truths about myself through my writing and I have explored the realm of literature, and its relation to myself.

For three years as a student at Maple High School, I approached the English course with excitement and joy. It is after all my favourite course, and I do wish to pursue it at a university level because of the experience and knowledge it provides to students like myself. Not only did the course help to develop my strengths, but it also forced me to focus on weaknesses which I originally thought were avoidable.

When I first heard we were writing this essay, I honestly thought it was kind of pointless (no offense). I always thought that english class was meant to be analytical, and this paper seemed like it had no real purpose (other than maybe helping with college essays). However, as I was writing I really began to appreciate what this essay allows you to do. English was never my most favorite subject ( I tend to lean towards math and sciences), but this essay felt so easy to write. I really enjoyed how it allowed me to truly reflect on who I am as a person and recognize how and why I am who I am. I think that being able to reflect on who you are can allow you to see what the good parts of you are, what the bad parts of you are, and what the

“Landon, how are you such a good writer?” My brother asked me one night while I was helping him finish up his homework.

When I started high school, I was afraid of taking senior English. I wasn’t very good at writing papers. Once I met Mrs. Jenkins, she made me realize that I was safe because she helped us how to understand "TIQATIQAW". She first made us sit in a circle to know more about us and what we are struggling on because she made the promise about making us a better writer. I've learn that never give up on writing a paper because at the end I will look back and realize that I did a good job with it. I struggled a lot writing, but Mrs. Jenkins helped me a lot and without her I wouldn’t be passing English because she wants us to be better writers.

Writing overall has never been my strong suit during my years of education, but this year I feel like I grew as a writer and improved. English has never been one of my easier classes, but I still put in the same amount of work that I do for my other classes. I know that compared to most students, I have a really strong work ethic. With essays, I never waited until the last moment to write the whole thing. For every essay, I planned my time wisely and split up for myself parts of the essay and when I should have them done by. Additionally, this year I tried much more to revise my essay and reread over it to improve it. Overall, my effort for writing essays was very good, but some of my essays could have been focused more and not drift away from the prompt.

Coming into college I had only taken one advanced placement course in high school that had somewhat prepared me for the writing we would be working on in this class. I took AP Language in eleventh grade and I believe it helped me create solid argumentative essays at that time, however, I do not believe that course actually taught me how to properly write an essay. Coming into this class I thought this course would be overwhelming and I would not be able to keep up with the workload along with the standards of these essays. Yet, this class actually helped me learn how to write an essay for example, what belongs in the introduction as well as the conclusion. My view towards this class has not changed much since first entering college, however, I did learn this course was a lot more beneficial than I originally thought it would be.
