I also enjoyed this week assignment because it allowed me to exercise my mind and creativity. Paraphrasing taught me that one can create

    I’m gone. Although my writing may not be equivalent to Tom Stoppard’s, I am slowly progressing towards obtaining strong writing skills. Writing in English 1101 this semester has taught me to dive deep into stories, to work on my organization and grammar, and most importantly, to remind myself that I write to leave a legacy.

    used to writing papers on a certain topic or a paper that analyzed a text. Instead, this paper has us write about our own life and thoughts. The experience I chose was about a time when two men came to change our refrigerator and told me to stay in school or else I might end up like them. Writing this paper was different from writing any other paper I had before. This time, I got to write in first person and include my own thoughts and commentary.

    After discussing grammar in class, I learned that it is not just a simple definition.
