I chose the assignments that I did because, I think these assignments represent my best work.The things I remembered that helped me become the writer that I am today. Although when I was writing most of my assignments it may seem as if I had a very detailed process, However I can honestly say that there was not a single assignment that I had a process to go by. Mostly when I was completing an assignment I wrote my ideas, feelings, or opinions down. Then I usually did what every student thinks to do I reviewed my work to see if it was anything that needed to be changed. I used this on most assignments. When I worked on my Quickwrites, each day I just wrote down my thoughts based off the topic that was given. In my Annotations, I read the reading thousands of times to see if there was anything else that should help me with my understanding. Overall I have gained a better development of my thoughts and comprehension. …show more content…

My grades on essays from the beginning of the year to the end of the year has actually worsened over time. I think I need to put a greater focus on my grammar rather than the syntax when I properly write essays.

Since childhood, politics and political thought have been important to me. I grew up in a family and school system that was made up of mostly strong conservatives, so I was not surprised by my results on the political typology quiz, which ranked me as a “steadfast conservative”. Although these views may have been implanted by the environment I grew up in, I have formulated my own thoughts on politics in recent years, and they all seem to align closely with conservative values. The factors that have undoubtedly had the greatest influence on my political socialization are my family, my religion, and my schooling.

While reading printed rough drafts I notice awkward sentences, spelling errors, and most importantly missing commas. Another exercise that we do in this class is paragraph responses.

In the beginning of the course I felt like I was an “ok” writer, but lacked some skills such as: organization, sentence variety, and vocabulary.

I have always hated writing about myself, and I always dreaded assignments in school where I had to describe myself. I always wanted to avoid doing these assignments because I did not want to sound narcissistic, or self-absorbed. I dislike people like that now, because I used to be one of those people. It took many lessons learned before I humbled myself; I am still learning to humble myself today with recent experiences I have had. Although I hate to write about myself, I have always liked to reflect on myself.
