Reflection
I have been a student in San Diego Miramar Community College for five semesters. I started in ESOL 20 until I reached in English 48 and 49. I learned lots of things every semester. I learned how to write a research paper and do academic journals. I enjoy doing the academic journals because it was an interesting way to write anything that is in your mind. However, the research paper was horrible because it was very difficult for me to put all your information together to try to make an argument that need to be cited if the information was not mine. This class has built up my confidence in my own writing and for that I am highly appreciative.
First, I know that my ability to write and express my ideas, thoughts and knowledge has grown stronger each semester. I have always struggled to put my thought on paper in a manner that is coherent. In fact, I remember when my English teacher back in high school said to "organize your thoughts" or "provide more support and examples". Furthermore, these are the things that I have worked on and improved in this semester. The paper that I wrote is about social media affected students in their school. In this essay, I formulated my own ideas and need to research to support my ideas. Therefore, the classes I have taken the past couple semesters have really help me shed that bad habit and write better papers with better ideas. Also, I have learned how to write various styles of papers in different forms and different fields. I feel confident that I could write a paper about most anything and know how to cite and format it properly.
Secondly, another assignment that was completed for this class was the timed writing about the DREAM Act, which I didn’t know about. This essay I didn’t finish it because I didn’t use my time wisely. Also, I am not always confident to ask clarifying questions when I should. If I have a confident foundation of knowledge then it becomes easier for me to get my ideas out on that essay. Besides, making
