So far I have enjoyed English 1101 because it has allowed me to improve my writing skills, and learn what I still need to do better. I have learned that my transitions are good, but that I still struggle with using commas, and usually have a few comma splices in each paper, but I’m slowly learning how to avoid them. Besides the occasional grammar issues, my biggest challenge with writing in English 1101 has been dealing with how open-ended the assignments are. Throughout high school I have gotten very used to being told exactly how my essays should be written and what they should be written about. But for this class, we have a lot more freedom to write about what we want, as long as it follows the basic assignment and is well-written.

The first writing assignment was less of what is expected for an Honors English class due to lack of originality, organization, and a good MLA format.

It contained bland sentences such as,"This summer I read many books.
My favorite subject has always been english, I was never a fan of math, especially when it came to high school and college. My english teachers in high school did not helped me at all.

We never got the chance to write about a topic we were interested in or talk about our opinions on a certain topic.

During the last semester of Modern II, I set three goals for myself that included getting stronger with inversions, working on increasing my stamina, and taking risks during class. From last semester to now, I personally feel that as a whole, my goals that I set for myself have come a long way. In addition to working in the studio extra hours and going to the gym here and there to better myself, I have focused inside of the classroom on writing down feedback that is given to me from peers as well as my professor. Writing down the feedback has helped me when going into the next class and focusing on the corrections I have already got as well as looking at things that I set for myself.

There is no coincidence in life’s events: everything happens without sometimes knowing why it happens.

When I first got my feedback from an essay I felt blank and disappointed. Everything I thought I knew was like a drop in the ocean compared to the things I had not known.
