It's hard to believe that it's already time for Midterms in my English 101 class. The adventure has been a lot easier than I at first anticipated. In any case, I am happy that I am taking the class and learning from it. In the beginning it appeared somewhat hard however I was resolved to compel my way through this class regardless of what difficulties I needed to persevere.

On the first day of my English 101 class I was apprehensive, I had no clue what's in store from the class. As I discovered what the class would have been similar to, I let myself know I was going to attempt to get an B or higher toward the end of the semester and put all the exertion I had into each paper I kept in touch with, I was not going to set this class aside for later and linger like I use to do. A standout amongst the most troublesome...show more content...

Things have ended up less difficult now since I don't need to experience the battle of how things are done or on the chance that I don't understand how I should do what I am expected to do. These aptitudes may empower me to enjoy additionally composing and not need to stress over having a written assignment.

It has taken experience, and getting normal evaluations, to show me how to precisely write. Despite the fact that this course required different papers to be turned in, I am appreciative to have possessed the capacity to gain from my oversights and develop as a writer. I have constantly cherished written work, however now I am ready to improve mywriting as the semester

In English Composition this year I have learned a lot about myself as a writer, I am writing this essay to reflect on how I have grown as a writer. I have had a short time at Chana, but in that time I have written many extended responses about various topics, two short stories, and a research paper on Project MKULTRA. I have grown as a writer in doing all of these papers and stories. I have learned a lot aboutwriting in my short time here at Chana. Such as how to cite sources, put together a research paper, and set up a short story, as well as many other things. In this course of study, I wrote a six page paper on Project MKULTRA. Writing this paper taught me to be patient with writing and do extensive research before you actually start writing. It also taught me that writing about something you are interested in makes you work better and results in the finished product being a lot better and not forced. During this class I also wrote a short story about a kid that dreamt of being the best skater in his town, writing this story taught me that even if you don't think you can write a story, the story will write itself if you have good ideas to support it. I believe my strengths as a...show more content...

Before this project every research paper I had written was about something I was not interested in or something I did not care about. I would tell someone coming into this class for the first time just to do your work and make it quality, and don't write your work at the last minute because it will not be as good as it could be. The course could be improved by doing more creative writing projects as well as reading good works of writing and analyzing them to see how we could use them to make our writing better. My future goals in classes such as this one are to expand my skills in writing and to someday write a comic Get more

I'm a junior here at Canby High School and my previous class experience in English has improved quite a bit since freshman year. English has always been the type of class that I was afraid of because I was not that good at writing essays. With the help of the wonderful English teachers here that have challenged me to try different methods of writing, there has been a significant improvement in my essay writing since middle school . I've grown to appreciate English class and in some cases even look forward to it. The goals I have set up for British Literature A this trimester are for me to improve my study habits, put more thought into my work instead of rushing it, and learn how to comfortably engage in discussions with peers. The goal of improving my study habits is the primary goal because it is the one I have the most trouble with. I've developed this habit of immediately going onto my phone after school instead of getting to my homework and that has resulted in me attempting to finish pages of homework late at night. However, having a little bit of time to yourself after school is reasonable, as long it does not end up lasting five hours into the evening.

How I plan to accomplish this goal is by setting specific times for homework as well as times for snacking, a five to ten minute break and then dinner. With this, I can succeed as
