Throughout this last semester in English, was a great but tough semester for me. I learned a lot more on becoming a writer. I still struggled with getting off my thesis statement and adding to much of other off topic information. I can say I have truly found out how to revise my essay. I also learned how to go back and explain why I say what I say in my papers. Ms. Emily being my English teacher helped a lot by giving me comments and feedbacks on my paper.

We did papers in class to get feedback and comments from Ms. Emily. I love the method we had to do the rough draft and bring it to class to get reviewed before the actual paper is due.

I’ve learned more on how to elaborate on my examples and fix my papers the correct way. I also learned from my comments how to redo my revision correctly. I went to most conferences that I could go to before I revised my papers. I was striving to become a good writer. I wanted my papers to be great and efficient enough. I redid all my papers so I could know exactly what I did wrong. Redoing all my revisions helped me become a better writer along with Ms. Emily comments. I learned my mistakes and my wrongs in my papers. The feedbacks from Ms. Emily helped me out a lot because I knew what to do in my revisions. Me having Ms. Emily as my teacher helped me throughout this

I came into my first college writing class feeling prepared thanks to you and your investment in me as a student in your AP Lang class. I developed as a writer more than I ever had in your class, and it definitely helped me in my college writing class this semester. I already knew how important it was to revise and continuously critically think about my writing, as well as the importance of multiple drafts and peer review. My English 110 class this semester was very similar to yours because we also did multiple drafts where I could revise my paper as many times as needed. The big difference was that the focus was on different genres and how to appeal to those, which was something new compared to my high school English courses.

Now, by this point I was excited to take on this class. I had heard horrible things about how the teacher would just cut you from the class if you had too many punctuation errors or that she would force students to knock out an essay in the first half of class.

So over the summer, I knocked out the teacher’s readings and came to class the first day ready.

From the turn of the 20th century, Imperial Germany was the most formidable empire in Europe. Her army was the greatest in number, strength, and discipline.

I quickly learned that most occurred because of not taking the proper time needed to go back and carefully proofread. It was one of the easiest things to fix, but for some odd reason I never took the time to do it until I realized how important it was when the grading became harder. I also focus on avoiding the use of words such as very, you, would have, and could have.

The reason I wrote about this is because it makes me realize I no longer struggle nearly as much relaying information from my head to a piece of paper.
