One of the benefits of Self-Authorship is to allow students to discover who they are, and allow them to make life decisions without outside influences. This advising theory assists with allowing students to identify who they are, what they want to be, and where they would like to go. These psychosocial developmental challenges also include undergoing personal struggles with oneself. This model is closely related to that of Arthur Chickering, who also believed that college students go through developmental stages that require them to think, feel, behave, and value oneself. (Chickering & Reisser, 1993).

My Literacy Journey “Sponsors, as I have come to think of them, are any agents, local or distant, concrete or abstract, who enable, support, teach, model, as well as recruit, regulate, suppress, or withhold literacy-and gain advantage by it in some way” (Brandt 166). While staring at a blank Word document, re-reading the articles that we discussed in class, and brainstorming for countless hours, I asked myself, what or who was my literary sponsor? In her article, she goes on to state that “sponsors seemed a fitting term for the figures who turned up most typically in people's memories of literacy learning: older relatives, teachers, priests, supervisors, military officers, editors, officers, editors, influential authors” (Brandt 167).

Individual reflection and assessment is a vital component for growing as a writer. By analyzing my own strengths and weaknesses, I can further develop the steps I should take in order to grow as a writer. Through completion of the varying assignments in English class this semester, I have a heightened perception of areas that I am strong along with areas that I need to improve. The powerful guidance of those who I sought help from in my journey to improve my writing made a positive lasting impact on my academic future. Through becoming aware of my strengths and weaknesses, endeavoring into a variety of writing styles, and implementing both what I have learned along with what I still need to improve on, I have gained skill that can elevate me to new realms of academic accomplishment.
Learning the writing process has been one of the most helpful portions of this course for me. Before this course, I didn’t really have much of a process. If anything, my process was almost backward.

Social Anxiety English has always been my favorite subject in school. I’ve always loved the way so many creations can come out of something as simple as words. Words have the ability to transform into almost anything. From poetry and music to rhetorical analysis and informative articles.

There were some assignments that I have done poorly on.

Completing High school was a huge social milestone for me, I wanted it for myself but most importantly I wanted to make my family happy.

1.2 Overview of Self-Awareness When self-awareness is used, it means to what extent people are aware of their thinking pattern, traits, feelings and behavior (Brown, 2012).
