Personal Writing Reflection

Throughout my years of high school, I was emerged in various types of classes requiring diverse writing styles and analytical skills. By being in two AP English courses and an AP History class, I've been exposed to many writing tools for different goals. Along with assignments, I’ve read multiple books for pleasure, mainly pertaining to historical events and ideals. This has lead me to think critically about topics and points of view, allowing for conclusions to be made and for carefully thought out points of interest. Although I’ve had experience in various systems of reading and writing, I am not an English major, nor is it my exact area of interest. With this, I realize critical thinking and writing is a very important building block to our lives, and therefore am always looking for ways to improve my writings. In order to grow as a writer, I must set goals to achieve and practice methods to success. Personally, I will slow down my writing process and have a more structured thought process. By this I mean I will start my assignments early, and write rough drafts and individual ideas down even when not required. This will allow me to fine tune and build on my ideas. Furthermore, I will seek help in the writing center even when I believe I may have mastered certain writing skills.
