Reflection
In my portfolio I picked the following pieces. “Analyzing a
trend”, “This I believe”, “Application” essay, and “Profile” essays. I have
picked these pieces of writing because I feel like these pieces are some of my
best writing. In all of the pieces there is a significant change from the first
draft into the second draft, which I wrote. I feel like the second drafts are
good. With all the positive criticism that I got with all these pieces of
writing, I made lots of changes to the second drafts and I feel like that the
final drafts are the best that I have written.
“Analyzing a trend” is a piece of writing that I had to
include in the portfolio. If it wasn’t a requirement I think I would have still
added it to the portfolio. It was an assignment that I found to be challenging,
and it was something that I hadn’t done before. I think that my second draft is
a good start to what can become something great. Although something’s might be
unclear and the essay might be a little everywhere, I feel like I had made lots
of changes to the essay to make it the best I could. I used to critique given
to me and added as much of it as I could into the essay. I think that my trend
was clear.
In the assignment that we had to write the “profile essay” I
feel like that I also did a good job with it. In the beginning I was a little
unsure of who to write about, but I think that my second draft was a much
better example of the writing. I am including this piece of writing in my
portfolio because it was something that I enjoyed writing about and it was
someone that is sentimental to me. I picked “someone you look up to” as the topic
and my father to me is someone I look up to everyday of my life. Although it
really wasn’t that interested to others I feel very strong about this and I bet
people have parents that they look up to too.
“Application essay” is another piece that I have included in
my profile. The reason I picked it was because I feel that this is a very
important paper.Me getting into a nursing program is very important for me. It
is something I always wanted to do even when I was a little kid. So doing this
paper was something I really liked doing because I way use this to applied to a
nursing program. I understand that in my second draft I had a lot of miss
spelling and other little minor errors. But I fixed all of that and I feel very
confident about this piece.
The last piece that I will include in my essay is “This I
Believe” essay. This piece of writing is one that I really thought I had done a
good job with. I think that family is the most important thing in life, and
that is truly what I believe in. Even though my experience with the car and the
flat tire. My brother didn’t hold our fight against me , family being the most
important thing in life, I still feel like that the fact that my brother was
there by my side, he was supportive even though it was my fault meant a lot to
me. I used the comments that I received back from that essay and I made it
better. Over all I feel like this was a good essay because it was something
that I was interested in writing and I had a belief that I feel strongly for.
The essays that I
chose to put in the portfolio I believe are my best writings of the semesters. Also
some of these were new to me; I never have writing some of these so it was
interesting writing some of these essays. I feel like I did my best with the
comments that I received on them to make the essays more appropriate to the assignment,
and my final products are the best.
