Personal Statement: I Made Good Grades In School

540 Words3 Pages

Stephanie Beatriz once said “I made good grades in school”. In Composition I, I have learned many new things that will help me in Composition II. I have spent a lot of time and effort on these essays and to pick a grade is easy. I believe that I deserve an “A” in this class for all the hard work that I have put into my compositions. I believe that I deserve an “A” because this class has drastically improved my writing skills, I have started to participate in class discussions, and because I have put a lot of hard work into this class. Before I enrolled in Composition I my writing skills were not all that great. Composition I has enabled me to become a better writer. If I would not have taken this class, I would have no idea what a comma splice was. I feel like without this class my ability to write essays would be nowhere close to what it is now. I plan to use the writing skills that I have learned in this class in every essay and research paper that I have to write from this day forward. …show more content…

I have started taking part in all class discussions and have became more sociable than I used to be. I will be able to use the social skills that I have gained from this class everyday for the rest of my life. This class has taught me that it does not matter if what I say is wrong or right, and that is why I have begun to take part in the class discussions. Composition I has allowed me to express my feelings through discussions and I believe that is what this whole class was about in the first

Why Comp I is So Valuable I believe that there are several reasons why Composition I is a valuable course for college students to take. Some of the reasons Comp I is so valuable are 1) it improves your writing skills, 2) it teaches us the different types of writing, and most importantly 3) it teaches us to manage our time wisely and effectively. Without the course Comp I, I believe that students wouldn’t be prepared or as prepared to take on the real world. Writing skills are something that most people don’t just have.

I have feel like I have learned a lot from taking this class, and most of what I have learned was from real life experiences. This class made me value academic extracurricular activities more and learning by emerging yourself in that subject. I learned that is way more beneficial for me to experience something first hand than learning about it from a class lecture. I understand how lucky I am to have such a quality education, and I can’t wait to use my education to serve my future community and those who are less

Also, my portfolio illustrates my learning of proper punctuation and use of commas, something I struggled with at the beginning of the semester. Since then I have been able to go over the proper uses and revise my essays. Another thing, that truly helped me in this class that I learned was how to efficiently write and use rough drafts for my papers. Before this class, rough drafts were never mandatory to turn in for me and I did not use them frequently.

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.

Throughout my junior year I’ll admit that I have grown in certain areas as a student academically. At the beginning of the year we were tasked with writing a rhetorical analysis essay for the cola wars and coming previously from a CPM class it was challenging trying to write an essay that I was not familiar with. Once I had received my essay back Ms.Miller explained exactly what i had done wrong and made it clear as to why received my score. After the meeting I was able to re-do my essay to correct errors I made to raise my score. Once corrected and with help I was able to understand how to describe in detail as to how and why the authors evokes an emotion through their purpose.

The 2017 AP Language and Composition course was purely correlated to challenging prospering to potential readers and writers. Its evidential goal was designed to build a basis of using appropriate rhetoric devices as to make his or her idea tangible to others. Although our “particular” class was very outspoken at times, overall I do believe we know how to better communicate our insights through both writings and in speech than we did at the beginning of the year. Unlike any year of English’s class, I concur that we grew in our level of proficiency as a writer and in our progress as a critical reader. Nevertheless, personally, I would like to believe that I’m well-suited in getting an A for both effort and skill based qualifications.

However, I think that I could have participated more in class. I really enjoyed discussions in small groups and participated in them, but as far as class discussions go, I didn’t really participate. I know that one of my strengths is listening because I loved to listen to people’s ideas and think about them in discussions, but it was hard for me to interject my own comments. I think this is because I have trouble speaking in front of people, and also because I get caught up in listening to others. However, I was prepared with comments and ideas for almost every class, and something that I need to work on beyond this class is learning how to lead discussions by sharing my ideas.

When I learned that I will be taking English Composition I course, I was ecstatic. I expected this class to help me strengthen areas of my grammar and mechanics skills, help organize my information better, and learn how to write an effective piece. In this class, I feel the most important skill I learned was APA formatting. The help I received to better understand APA formatting was outstanding and it really showed me show much these instructors want me to succeed. As much as I love to write, there is still a lot insecurity I held when presenting a piece.

I also learned to use many elements fundamental to strong academic writing, such as thesis statements, topic sentences and quotations. The things I learned in college composition have helped me to develop into a stronger, more flexible writer. On of the most important skills that I learned from college composition is that students are supposed to understand how to perform and document scholarly research. This means that we should know how to locate academic articles using reliable resources.
