Over the course of the semester I feel like I have become a better writer. I have learned many different aspects of writing that have helped me not only in this class but in my other classes as well. I remember in the beginning of the semester when I first started by trying to figure out what an annotated bibliography was and how to write one and now, I have written well over ten essays and many more papers in general with relatively no stress. Over the semester my confidence in my writing has grown way more than I ever thought it would. I remember when I would hear that there was a one thousand word essay due and I would start panicking about everything. After learning ways to write properly and manage my time when writing I have realized that I can easily write five hundred words in one day as long as I have the information.

If there is one thing that I have figured out while being in college, it’s that essays are unavoidable. I even had to write an essay for my math class which I never thought I would have to do. In my next three years of college, I plan to use what I have learned from this class in every essay that I have. Most of my essays will probably be within the same discipline so that should make it easier to learn and get better. Research papers are going to be the main focus for me, and it will be necessary to learn how to write them well for my intended career. With everything that I have learned from this class and everything I will learn in the classes to come I believe I’ll be able to write confidently in all of my upcoming classes.
