Reflection Essay 1
My process for this writing was not easy, It took me about 2 weeks to get all the ideas I wrote and I also asked for help to the Writing center here at UCBA. All of this was a process. For the free-writing I wrote the price I had to pay just for being a college student which it was quite easy because I was giving my personal opinion, in certain way, I was free to express myself. The outline was easy too, I just wrote the main ideas of what I would like to talk about in a specific order. The drafting was the difficult part because I had to be careful with the order of the text, in order to, first get the readers attention and then through the body paragraph express what I was really wanted to say. Also the conclusion was difficult. From my perspective the conclusion is one of the most important parts of an essay.
Thanks to my peer, who reviewed my essay and told me where my mistakes were, now I am able to see why some ideas did not make sense. Than being said, now I am going to fix all the grammar mistakes and punctuations mark. Also I noticed, I did not do the AML format correctly because at the top I forgot to put my last name next to the number.
My challenges writing this essay were, the ideas, sometimes I have a lot to say, lot of ideas passing through my mind and I do not know how to start, in order to follow a correct essay (Introduction, body paragraph, conclusion), because it is more than that, the introduction for instance, the introduction part has its own order too. Another challenge I faced was the grammar.
Something that worked well on my essay was the quote I added for the introduction. Since, sometimes I have to think too much of what to say for the first most important sentences of my essay, I decided to put a quote that could explain a general Idea of what I wanted to say on this essay.
I am grateful I am taking this class, a lot of things my professor has taught me, I definitely will use all this knowledge for my other classes in order to get better grades. Certainly, the part of introducing quotes and the questions we can ask ourselves to have a better reading understanding will definitely help me a lot for my other readings.
This essay helped me a lot, I learned how to introduce quotes correctly, how to be more organized with the introduction, body paragraph, conclusion. It also taught me that having the introduction well organized will make the rest of the essay much easier because you have the main points you are going to talk about in order and it is just getting the ideas of how to explain it.
The changues I made between for draft and the final essay were basicallly correcting grammar, adding new words, fixing quotes, ex: for the introduction of both essays (students and parents), after que quote I added some words that would make my essay better.
