Despite all acquired knowledge and skills, my writing still needs some cultivation. It especially concerns the skills of using proper grammar and corrections in the MLA format of mine.

The ways I was able to achieve that goal were three different papers I wrote during the semester. Those three papers were various essays: reflection, argumentative, and explanatory essay.

In addition, in class we practiced an annotated bibliography. It was the first time I completed one. Through the process I was unsure of what actually was required for an annotated bibliography. Eventually, I was able to complete my annotated bibliography at home. Using different conventions for each essay allowed me to progress on my way to accomplishing goal

In the past semester I have grown more as a writer than I have in the past…
