How To Write A Reflective Essay About My Writing Goals

693 Words3 Pages

Reflection One of my writing goals for this semester was to be more confident in my writing, and I think I have achieved that goal. I’m not only more confident with my final papers, but I am also more comfortable with writing in general. This class also made me more comfortable sharing my work and my thoughts and ideas with others. It used to take me a long time to come up with ideas, but getting more practice has definitely helped. The quick writes in class have also helped me let go of the overthinking I usually experience when I write.

Instead of thinking about doing things that I feel like I have to do, I think more about how it will affect my happiness, and how I can make myself happier. This class also helped me with my decision to leave the University of Maine at Farmington at the end of the semester, because I know that staying here would not make me happy. The major I truly want to be in is not offered here, and going to a community college while living at home would make me much happier. I struggled with this decision because I was afraid, and I thought that it’s not what I should be doing. Going from a four-year college to a community college is not common and is frowned upon by some people. But since I have been thinking more about my present and future happiness, I’m confident this is the right decision for me. I think I am a happier person after this class. My happiness was never something I really thought about, but blindly reached for by doing the things others expected of me. I no longer think that I should be miserable for a few years so I can have a better chance of being happier in the future. There is no use in essentially wasting part of my life by being miserable when I can never get them back. Life is unpredictable and I want to be able to be happy with what I’ve done no matter how short or long it comes to

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.

Considered to be the last canonical Gospel of the New Testament, the Gospel According to John has very little parallelism to the Synoptic Gospels. It fosters a unique theme of Christ’s divinity as the eternal Word, who became physical flesh. While John along with the Synoptic Gospels depicts Jesus as the Messiah, he takes it a step further by focusing on Jesus’ deity. According to R.Wayne Stacy, “the Gospels were all clear that the Incarnate meant Jesus was the God. However, John emphasized the former almost to the exclusion of the latter.”

Throughout the term there has been many writing assignments —big or small— that helped reflect my writing process or the process itself.

I know how to organize my ideas, the worksheets given in class to work on sentence variety really helped, and vocabulary was built on some level.
