Reflection On My Writing

Reflection Writing an essay takes a while to improve and fully grasp. However throughout the different essays I was able to write, I have mostly understood my weaknesses and strengths. This allowed me to fix the areas that were most weak in my paper which helped strengthen the other essays I had the chance to improve upon. The improvements I saw in my essays were able to help me understand whether I was heading on the right direction with my paper or not. I was also able to well understand the areas where my writing needed the most change thanks to my professor and class mates who’ve directed me to improve those weakness in my paper.
