I intend to incorporate corrections provided in class and even in peer group discussions into my writing. I believe learning is a process which demands discipline and proper guidance. I am thankful that I have managed to acquire all the aforementioned elements in my journey to become a proficient writer. I have grown from an amateur that was completely out of touch with the facets of proper writing.
Judging from my past essays I can …show more content…

My arguments in previous papers have been critiqued due to their lack of proper logical constructs. However, I have improved on this by incorporating as many facts as possible to support my assertions. My writing has also progressed due to the effective distinguishing of ideas. I have learnt the importance of introducing secondary information and corroborating with mine in the advancement of arguments. This is essential in ensuring that I give proper credence to the authors or framers of the ideas used. It is only through the use of past studies and theories that I have managed to ensure my essays are effective in advancing robust and logical arguments (Gill, 2014). In the past, I used to be economical with examples but after advice from my professor and criticism from my colleagues I understood the importance of their inclusion. Examples are fundamental in ensuring essays are persuasive and relatable to …show more content…

My essays have improved greatly with minimal mistakes which on peer reviews have been cited as too minor to impact my growth as a writer. Drawing comparisons with my old jobs, I have to admit my writing is better organized and more professional in many ways. I now appreciate the need for specific and informative thesis. I have also made use of the outlines which are fundamental in the organization of thoughts and

Satisfied with my work, I did the finishing touches on my portfolio and soon after realized my last writing assignment of high school is tomorrow. Although I have been waiting for this day for many years, it was sad to think that all my work has come to an end for high school. Coming into this class I was frightened from all the work that was assigned and was just hoping to finish with a “B” because I had never been a strong writer; however, half way through the semester I had seen a significant improvement in my writing skills and it is possible to finish with an “A”. I believe the reason it improved so much is because I time managed way more than have in previous years; in fact, most essays I had to write were written the night before they were do and I would just meet the length requirement without revising or editing.

Throughout this past school year I have learned an abundance of new concepts, more importantly, I’ve mastered old ones, that at one point in time I wouldn’t have dared to use, let alone try and successfully succeed. Due to a patient teacher who is passionate about writing, I’ve come to better understand how to correctly formulate an argument or opinion and back it up with evidence and facts. I’ve learned how to identify a theme, mood, and tone that an author conveys in their writing. No matter how difficult it might be to catch, I now have been taught how to bring the evidence to light. Before learning more specific areas of writing and reading, I had to start by learning a strong base.

My writing process has stemmed from what I was conditioned to believe makes a “perfect essay” in high school. The first year of high school I was not taught how to build a strong essay but instead a well constructed outline that showed my ability to critically think. Sophomore year was dedicated to building our lexicon and syntax when writing. We were to learn how to take the most basic sentence and turn it into a well orchestrated paragraph. Junior year was when I began timed writing sessions, being able to construct a well written essay in forty minutes.
