English 111 section 0003 was a difficult class for me, but I powered through it. I have always struggled with English. One rule I live by is always put 100% effort into everything. If you try your best a fail then at least you can move on without feeling doubtful. This way I will not look back and say “Well if I would have tried harder than I would have been successful.” One place I have never put 100% in is English. I look back now and wish I did. I should constantly work on my participation, progress, performance. I would rate my overall participation a B average. I had four absences and sometimes I would forget my book out in my car. I always showed up to class on time. I participated in class activities. When Professor Kennedy would ask us to go up and write something on the board, I always went up.

One thing I enjoyed was all the independence that was involved; while freshman have relatively simple classes with teachers to guide the students along, sophomore year so far has involved doing my own research and work.

Overall, this was an enjoyable semester and everything I have learned will lead me to success…

English 111 Reflection

When I signed up to take English 111, I only took the class for the dual enrollment credits. I was in close competition for valedictorian and salutatorian positions of my class and my guidance counselor informed me if I did not take the class I would lose my class rank. I have never really favored English and I loathed writing essays. When I was in middle school I use to enjoy writing in a journal to eliminate the stress of the day, but it was a habit I ended in high school for a multitude of reasons…
