Essay 1: Reflection

Now that I have received my grade for my first essay in my Composition class, I am a lot more aware of my mistakes and my strengths in my writing. I can see that I have some problems with detailing my work. I have to expand more on my topics in order to make them more clear to the readers. I also have a tendency to make a comment, and then leave it at that. I don't go in depth and explain why I believe what I have said. Although there were some errors, overall I am very proud of my work. I was able to keep my focus and ultimately get my main point across. As far as my writing process goes, I was able to make a clear outline that was perhaps the most helpful tool in writing my paper. I also incorporated my peer's critiques into my writing which made my paper that much better. In my future papers, I am going to work hard to put more detail into my words. I want to make my points more clear to the readers and make sure that they are able to walk away knowing exactly what I meant in my writing. I am very excited about writing my second essay and will work hard to learn from my mistakes in my first essay.
