Writing Studies I

Mr. Gomez

Reflective Essay

During my first writing studies class in college as an English major I feel like I have accomplished a variety of goals I once thought were unattainable. I have not only grown as a writer and a student, but as a person as well. I feel that through my experience of this English course, I have gained the knowledge and confidence it takes to step out into the real world. I learned a lot in this composition class. I learned about how to write a proper essay, the different types of essays, and how to cite sources. Depending on what kind of essay you are writing depends on what you have to have in it. There is a format for every essay but you have to make sure it is written correctly and includes everything that it is supposed to. Every part of an essay is important. It is also important to cite your sources because if you don’t say that your information is coming from someone else then that is plagiarism. To be quite honest, all my academic life, I always categorized writing under English class only; however, I realized in high school that the skills you acquire in English courses, will be extremely beneficial to you, which made me become extremely interested in English as a whole and intrigued me further into ultimately becoming an English major. Whether it is writing a business letter, to a history essay, knowing how to write, is always a must in your every day life. As a young child, I always loved to write stories while using my creative, deep imagination. Writing was always a way for me to escape my every day life and jump into a much more elaborate, carefree, world of creativity. Although, I always enjoyed writing, during high school, I would often find myself frustrated considering I had the worst case of writer’s block. I constantly felt that I did not know how to write “correctly,” which made me nervous coming into college. By being in this class it has ultimately gave me the confidence in

    As nervous as I was when I walked into Saint Joseph Catholic School (K-8) for my first day of kindergarten, I never thought I would be able to leave after 6th grade and enter the world of middle school. In a small school of about 400 kids, I was familiar with every face that passed by me in the hallway. I got to know the kids in my grade so well and we all knew each other’s life stories. By the time I was in 6th grade at Saint Joseph, some of my friends were planning on going to Kinard middle school in 7th grade. At this point in my life, I was not completely content with where I was going to school. The realization came to me that it was time to move on. It was time for me to try something new.…

    My journey to become a Counselling Psychologist began in 2008 when as a Life Coach; I had a self referral who suffered from anxiety over his forthcoming exams in his second year at university. I started collaboratively setting goals to manage his workload and set timetable into manageable chunks through asking him challenging questions so that e can start to think for himself. He had plenty of resources namely his family, time, books but he just would not settle into coaching which left me feeling I was inadequate as a Life Coach and started to doubt whether he could manage at all. As a life Coach I didn’t have a supervisor so had no one to maul this situation over with.…

    In this task I will be reflecting upon an incident undertaken on area of my work. The model of reflection I’ve chosen is Gibbs (1988), which involves reflection on the description, feelings, evaluation, conclusion and action plan (Gibbs 1988). The Gibbs (1988) reflective cycle is fairly straightforward and encourages a clear description of the situation, analysis of feelings, evaluation of the experience, analysis to make sense of the experience, conclusion where other options are considered and reflection upon experience to examine what you would do if the situation arose again. The procedure in which I will be reflecting upon is Last offices; I chose this due to how constructive and valuable it was in my personal and professional development as a student practitioner nurse.…

    It is astonishing that my journey through English class has come to a close. My path has been a smooth and enjoyable one, and it is with great sadness that I begin to gather up the ends of my literary education.

    This semester in 1010 has definitely been challenging for me, but I have learned a great deal. Although I’m not a fan of writing papers, I do have to agree it has helped me increase my knowledge in English composition. Before this semester, I had no clue in the world what rhetorical skills were, and now I am writing a paper on them. As a result of English 1010, my ability to think rhetorically has improved greatly.…

    Ethnocentrism is the belief that one’s culture is more superior to others and that they hold all others in comparison to their own. It is a concept that was introduced in the beginning of this course and has played a role in discussions throughout the semester. At first it is difficult to understand what ethnocentrism is and why it plays such a prominent role, but with the reoccurring appearance of the term in class, the importance behind it becomes more evident. If an individual has the perspective of being ethnocentric, then they limit themselves because of the mindset they have on the world. In cultural anthropology it is of great importance that researchers do not take on an ethnocentric perspective, because they learn more if they can set their own views and biases aside and focus on a different culture.…
