It becomes obvious I have not completely mastered college level when my instructor, Deborah Schwartz, points out multiple mistakes when she mentions how I did not properly provide a database in module 4 for one of my citations. This evidence proves that I am still making mistakes in my citations, and in this incident I did not know that the database provided was unacceptable. In my module 4 final paper my instructor points out a basic mistake made on my works cited, when she mentions how I need to have my citations in alphabetical order. From this paraphrase, I can imply that I still am even messing up the basic aspects of a work cited page, which is why this is an issue that I need to keep working on to master throughout my collegiate career. From this same paper, my module 4 final draft, my instructor discusses how for my works cited I need to have a one-inch margin, which on this particular works cited page I failed to do so.

To begin with, I joined English 101 because I am doing general studies at the moment. Secondly, I took the placement test and the score I received was best suited for English 101. In addition, writing was never my strongest subject, but I am willing to put the effort to be a better writer.

I’m sure I will have concerns in the future, but I’m not worried about them because I will seek for help when I’m in need. Furthermore, I will use all resources available such as going to the teacher for help, getting toured, EMCC Computer Commons, Buckeye Campus- Student Services, EMCC Library, and

English class has never been my strong suite. I always had to work twice as hard in English then I did in any other class. Writing paper always had me stressed and overwhelmed, I felt discouraged in my work. l never seemed to be able to get to the level I wanted to. I would try my hardest and paid attention in class, but when it came to writing the paper none of that seemed to help. I think that my experience in English Composition 1 has helped gain and grow in some areas, but I don’t think that it highlights a well-written college essay. Some elements that I worked to improving was introduction paragraphs, tone, style, and thesis statements.
As a new immigrant, I took the accuplacer test and went straight to 111 English level. So, English 111 course became my first college English class. It seems like a great achievement for a French speaker. Nonetheless, this performance linked to significant challenges. Even though I am a fighter and an optimist, I was frightened about my academic achievement for this semester. The problems became bigger when I took my first practice test on sentence structure (fragments and run-ons) and got a D. I was frightened and felt that I will have to drop the class. However, I decided not to give up. I started working hard and had a V+ on the next test. This positive grade energized me until now. During this semester, I have much homework and practices which allow me to identify some strengths, weaknesses, and gave me lots of skills for my English 112 class and the future.
