Reflective Essay: My Growth As A Writer

Have you ever done something and felt so confident about it and thought that you would do well but it turns out that, but it ends up that the result you would get is not what you got? I did I actually had to go through the whole process of getting better, I learned to grow gradually as a writer. When I first started writing wrote I earned As and Bs. Then I started the started the summer bridge program here at Washington Adventist University and found out that writing in High School is a lot different from college. It is even harder to write an essay because you have to be sure to add in enough details based on the topic and right when you think you are done you must check on grammarly to revise your essay and make sure you check your work. Or even the writing center but because it was a summer program so the writing center was not open at the moment. When I received my papers I learned how not

to be too general which is one thing that I am still working on. I remember the first paper I received from this class I felt so confident about it I thought I nailed it and I was going to get an absolute A. Turns out that I ended up with an F I was so shocked that and there were so many notes and corrections. So I went my professor to ask him what is wrong with my essay and he said it was nice if I were still to be in High School, he told me what I needed to fix and it was a lot that I needed to work on mainly everything. I did it a second time again I received the same result and although I have fixed the minor problems as in grammar and punctuation
but my essay was still too general my professor says.

I did the essay a third time after sitting down and listening to exactly what the professor wanted and he said the grammar and punctuation was fixed just make sure that I was less general. Make it seem as if you are writing from our own experience instead of talking about people in general but find or make up something. That is when it clicked because I had just gone through an experience in which would really help. All that I went through really helped and I ended up with getting a C but I accepted it and realized that it was my first essay and there would be more to come. As time went by I started getting better and better at my essays. Comes to my last essay that I just turned in not to long ago and ended up by receiving a B and I am happy with it because although I could have done a lot better, but I know where I came from and how I started. To know that I ended the semester with my final grade being a B I am proud of myself. Now that I know all my mistake I had made and learned from them and do better next

semester.
