The Moment My Life Changed Forever

256 Words2 Pages

When taking this class as a college undergrad you have an option to go to conferences. This class also allows you at least one week of revision for your final version. I recommend signing up for conferences for suggestion on how your paper can be improved. Revisions can be used to give you an idea of how you can improve your essay. I have always liked the idea of someone telling me what my essay needs to push it towards greatness. When revising the narrative for “The Moment My Life Changed Forever” I tried to look back and remember more of the conversations I had with to better explain every moment in the story. This made me fade away from my main point. When reading over my first draft I noticed that the main focus of the essay was only

  • English 1101: Improving My Writing

    562 Words  | 3 Pages

    I’ve only gotten three responses through the two papers that we have done, so I have been working mostly on my own to try and find ways that I can improve my essay. Nothing has really surprised me thus far in the class. I have enjoyed the prompts that we have done for our papers and I have enjoyed giving feedback and reading other papers from other students. As I said earlier, I think my best piece of writing was my Evaluation Essay. I was writing about something I enjoyed doing (watching movies) and I was excited to share my opinion with everyone, so I think those factors contributing to my Evaluation Essay being better than the Literacy Narrative.

    Over the course of English 1302 at Texas Tech, I feel that my skills as a writer improved significantly. When beginning the class, I knew little about writing a literature review or researched argument. With the help of my instructor’s lectures and the University Writing Center, I was able to effectively get my point across effectively while forming a well developed and well spoken manner. The advice given to me about argumentative essays and integrating sources helped significantly over the course of this class, and the skills learned in English 1302 helped me in other classes this semester when writing as well. One of the things I have learned that influenced me the most was my professor’s advice about an argument.

  • Transformative Moment In Life

    Most transformative moments in life can be caused by the smallest of occurrences in life. Often people do not even realize that a pivotal moment in their life is happening. Someone may realize when they are mature enough that there was one special moment during their childhood that ultimately determined their lifelong goal. For others, they probably realized an “aha” moment right when it happened and from then on decided that they knew what they want to accomplish later on. I actually have taken from both sides of the spectrum from realizing that one special transformative moment but also not even knowing that it would end up steering me towards my current career choice.
