Reflective Essay: Constructing My Writing Style

1. The paragraph says that it is difficult to write in a good style, and requires a lot of work.

All my life I have struggled with English due to the fact that I did not learn English till the age of seven as it was not first language. Programs like ESL have helped me improve my English tremendously through high school.

My writing skills are not the best’s, since English is not my first language. I love to read, and since I moved to US I started doing it in English.

Throughout this semester, I feel that I have learned a lot about the subject and about my own writing skills as well. I feel that during in class discussions I am polite and cooperate by giving my input on discussion topics with my classmates. There may have been a few times where I have spoken out of turn, but I am sure it was not on purpose, but out of eagerness to speak out about the topic. Although sometimes my opinions about the discussions were not voiced, they were thought about carefully in my head and outside of class. The reason is I am an introvert person so I am kind of listener more. Occasionally, I am not comfortable and feel anxious when I have to speak up in front of a large group of people. Moreover, I am not a quick responder;

Writing is a place where you can get lost to create stories or grab attention for an audience. However, writing can be done pretty much anywhere and by anybody. For me, I can say writing has provided me many open doors. Helping me to get closure from my father, gained positive aspects, and in some areas, I struggled. But writing is an influence that you must have because it brings out the inner part of you to rise above. Like maybe you can't specifically say it to a particular person. Where as to me I've been in that situation but I've found it easier to write to them. Providing a sense of you going out of the way to provide time to write to them means a lot to a particular person or for me. Sometimes writing is a place where I can get lost or maybe find my weaknesses and strengths overall writing has influenced me to do good.

Over the course of my studies at university, I have grown and learned more about academic writing and numerous writing styles.

Over the eighth grade year, I have learned to effectively use feedback and reflection skills to strengthen my writing. These writing processes taught me to include peer and teacher feedback along with self-reflection to earn a better grade on my writing pieces. In the beginning of the year, I would simply complete the drafts my teacher assigned. Proof of my original writing process is shown in the essay, titled One Necessity of a Hero: Personal Sacrifice, in which it reflects on the Thematic Unit. To demonstrate my poor writing process, a segment of my original introduction stated, “After analyzing documents from The Hobbit Thematic Unit, I discovered that the principles of heroism involve personal sacrifice. I also learned that a hero is

Well, I have never thought about my writing process before, but I will try to describe it as much as I can. The first stage, which is the most important thing in my writing process is that to know the purpose of the topic that I am going to write about and I have to make sure that believing in the work that I am going to work on.
