This English class has given me many skills to use in my future education and in life. Skills that I have learned in this class will be crucial to me and my future in college pertaining to writing because writing skills will be essential to proper communication. I plan on obtaining my Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing in the future. Pursing this degree will require proper writing and communication skills in order to successfully complete this degree. I feel this class has given me insight into pursing skills and resources that will be essential to my future and success.
I think I have properly executed demonstrating these skills in my papers and writings over the course of this semester. Although there are details I feel I could have included or refined, I feel as a whole I have bettered myself as a writer and a student with the help of this course. Writing and revising my critical analysis papers have made me not only a better writer, but a better student acquiring the skills to revise my own papers to a better degree. These papers were my biggest challenges because of the anxiety and expectations that came along with them. I know who I was as a writer before, but did not think that I had any outstanding skills, in fact I knew my handicaps and wanted to improve them. These papers gave me the opportunity to acquire new skills and apply them in order to gain confidence in my writing. Researching, using online tools, such as the Perdue Owl and an online tutor are ways that I chose to overcome these anxieties and produce a better grade paper.
Overall, I have new and improved writing skills that will help me in the future. Overcoming my writing anxieties has given me more confidence to produce a good paper. The way I did this was more revision and more outside resources. All of these things have contributed to my overall improvement in English 102 and my improvement in my writing. These improvements will lead to stronger writing skills and better grades in college, a university or even grad school.
