Core Value I. Understand that writing is a practice which involves a multi-stage, recursive and social process. This core value is about being able to demonstrate in your writing that you are able to take others feedback and use their feedback to revise your own essay, which I used throughout my first essay and the other two as well. While writing my essays the feedback from others has helped me make my essays better and more interesting. Without peer-editing my essays would have never became stronger
Writing my first Three English Essays. First English, as a second language (ESL) class at MCTC was new experience for me. ESL is a course designed for people whose English is not their first Language. Although I took English classes before at a different adult schools and went to English school back in Kenya, I have never written an academic essay. When I registered my first writing class at MCTC in 2011, the instructor said, we are going to write three academic essays throughout the course
make extra efforts to write a good essay. In the class ESL273, I have learned how to write analytical essays with critical thinking, how to create an effective introduction with background information and a clear thesis statement, and how to organize an essay with the writing process skills, such as outlining and brainstorming. In addition, we have peer review activities in the class, which is a good opportunity for me to learn from my classmates and I can identify my writing weaknesses from the feedback
Family values are defined as moral standards and disciplines learned by a traditional family unit. In different essays, authors Richard Rodriguez and Jamaica Kincaid talk about family values and how they shape the person, one eventually becomes. In Rodriguez's essay, he discusses family values through the view of immigration and homosexuality. While Kincaid's essay discusses family values through her upbringing and relationship with her mother. Although those two topics may seem different they each
American Values Reflective of Christian Values? Being a Christian I am very curious and worried about the state that America is in right now. There are riots, school shootings, terrorists attacks, mass shootings, and bombings happening all over the world. Many of these senseless, violent acts lead to the deaths of innocent people. The state that America is in right now has made me question what are American values, but most importantly if American values are reflective of Christian values?

Because if i do the wrong thing and one of my fellow battle buddies see me doing the wrong thing they might get the impression that doing the wrong thing is “cool” or okay which is not the impression i want to give off at all. Or it could make someone think of me as a bad soldier who dissent listen/follow instructions given by higher up and i would be looked down upon. Once thing that i have learned in my 4-5 months in
enrolled in an English 111 course to help improve my writing skills. Throughout the semester I was instructed to write four papers, not including this one. The topics for my essays were about; the value of education, victims and creators, a report essay, and last but not least a review essay. Each essay became more challenging than the previous one. As each essay came along, I applied the skills I learned in class and necessary peer evaluations to correct my mistakes so that I could get better at writing
Throughout this course learning or discovering to find and use my voice in writing has been an area of growth and learning for me. After reflecting back on my work from the semester, as well as that of my fellow students, I was struck by the process all of us went through to imitate the voices or styles of other writers and through this process find our own.

connected. My family would help each other in many ways including help in homework, tests, quizzes, keeping the house in shape order and so on. The most important thing in my life is my family. The reason why I value my family so much is because they help me in my everyday life. My brother helps me with school, my sister helps me in writing my essays, and my mother and father keep the house clean and stable. If I didn’t have such a family, I would not be the person I am today. What I value the most
My English 1301 class is coming to an end this semester. This class benefited me in a variety of ways that helped me improve my English as a second language. This course taught me how to be a more responsible student, work as a team, write effectively, edit and proofread essays, create a solid thesis, and, most importantly, how to write a rhetoric essay that will help a person change his way of thinking. I started this class coming fresh from my graduation of high school in May. The university was
