Personal Narrative: My College Composition
Throughout my time is College Composition I, I learned and developed numerous skills that I will carry with me to college and beyond. While writing the five assigned essays, I was able to identify my strengths and weaknesses. I believe a strength of mine was my ability to add in personal stories into my essays. For example, in my definition essay, I included my fear of disappointment and how I work to overcome this particular fear. On the other hand, one weakness that I struggled with was style. While writing my essays, I would sometimes use wordy and unclear sentences structures. Often times I would focus solely on improving my diction while writing my papers. My favorite essay to write was most definitely my pet peeve essay, “The Cost of

    Personal Narrative: My Freshman Composition

    Freshman Composition has done so much for me academically. In previous years I have had to do little to no writing and even when we did there were no rules or writing process we had to follow. This class has built a great basis for me, towards my academic future. I do realize that I am far away from being even an average writer, but I enjoy and accept that challenge to myself on becoming a competent writer. Parts of my writing, that still need to work are my introductions and sentence fluency. While I believe that my strong suits are, that once I get past my obstacles of writing that I have the potential to write something that will make a difference, other than that all my skills are still very raw. I’ve learned many things during EN101, the…

    ENG 101E Reflection

    In the past, I was always afraid to write essays because I knew I was not capable enough to write a decent essay. However, now that I have taken both ENG 101E and 101F I feel more confident in my writing skills. During this experience, I have learned how to write better by including my own ideas and also including more detail in my writing. By taking ENG 101E, I already felt more confident with my writing, but now that it is the end of ENG 101F I think I have improved even more.…

    Personal Narrative: My College Writing Readiness

    Am I ready for college? I guess that was never a question I really thought about. I knew that all throughout high school I was going to go into college. But the question is, am I ready for it? Has high school prepared me for college? Had every paper I have written been building block to success for college writing? Though school I have written papers based off of research, and personal opinions. I have been an A student for as long as I can remember. I have gotten A's and B's on almost all papers I have handed in. As a kid I was very passionate about writing; me and my brothers would sit and collaborate on story's that we have made up and wrote on paper. We enjoyed to sit and pick at one another's story's till they were perfect. But that love soon turned into disgust. I was only writing because I was forced to. So many essays I handed in were sloppy, and unorganized. I learned that writing was beginning to be something that I did for a…

    The Collaborative Writing Process

    What has probably been the most impactful in my writing would be the collaborative writing process. While criticism may destroy my self-esteem it has helped quiet an enormous bit my in writing. Before, I would rarely let people revise my work because of how they would diminish the essay I worked so hard for. Now, I freely ask people to check my work, mostly because of how I miss simple mistakes. This method of writing has opened me to new ideas that I have never thought of before. A huge problem that I never noticed was all the syntax that I did. Collaborative writing has probably been the best gift that I have received from this dual course that I am…

    Personal Narrative: My Essay To College

    I have always been raised by a single parent, and while I have continuously received the necessities for school and life in general, luxurious items were not seen as important as the things we needed. My mom has always taught me and my brother the concept of things I want versus things I need, and I have always admired how hard my mother works to provide for me and my brother with love and support for our lives. This scholarship opportunity would greatly take some burden off of my mother. The financial support that college requires is extensive and has always been on my mind throughout my senior year. My college decision could possibly be a decision between the more frugal option and the college that makes me happy. My mom has always told me to go to the…

    Personal Narrative: My Love For Writing

    My love for writing is similar to my love of swimming. I put all my love and sweat into writing as well as into swimming back and forth down the lanes in the pool. Some days, I feel like a fish swishing through the water, while other days I feel like a dense blob that is about to drown. However, no matter how productive my swim or writing is, when I get out of the pool, I am physically at the same place as I started and I feel that I have not made much progress. However, once I look back at my work, I see how much stronger I have become and the skills and techniques I have developed.…

    My Strengths And Weaknesses As A Writer

    Now I have completed my first college essay. I have learned that college writing is definitely not as simple as it seems. In college writing, you have the freedom to expand your thoughts on paper without having to follow the five paragraph formula. Moreover, I have identified my strengths and weaknesses as a writer. My strengths are vocabulary, sentence structure, and opening with an interesting introduction. Also, I do not lose focus on the topic at hand and explain my points in details through the essay. On the other hand, my weaknesses are not writing concise and precise sentences and organizing my paper. However, I have obtained strategies that will turn my weaknesses to strengths. One strategy is revising. I usually do not take the time…

    Personal Narrative Essay: The Pressure In College

    The main point of my personal narrative essay is that pressure in college is positive, as it prepares you for the challenges that you will face in the future. I attempted to appeal to ethos by letting the reader know I am a college student and have been shaped by these pressures myself. I also, tried appealing to pathos by sharing the tragic story of my friends parents in my essay. Finally, I introduced my essay with a quirky science fact that in a way appealed to logos. The most challenging part for me during the revision process was trying to make deeper connections between my supporting paragraphs. I found myself wasting a lot of time thinking, trying to figure out the best way to get my point across. I struggled with finding the medium…
