Reflective Essay: Lessons Learned
This is assignment was one of the first writing assignments I have written since graduating high
school in 2005. While writing this essay I learned several things about myself and become
extremely excited when I learned I had earned 8 out of 10 points after submitting this assignment.
This first part of writing this essay was to pick a topic to write about. I decided to choose acne for
the simple reason when I was growing up I had acne but finally grew out of it. After I decide on
the topic I had to gather the information for the essay itself which was not that easy. I had to gather
the information from different websites and was also able to find celebrates that revealed their
stories on the Proactiv website. Once I gathered the information required for the assignment I
began writing which was difficult at first but once I was able to get started it seemed to become
easier. The only thing I would change about my paper if given the chance would be to organize
the paper a little bit better. I would also try to apply different words that are not used in everyday
writing, this might have helped me with my grade however using larger words could also hurt my
paper if I did not use them correctly....show more content...
I noticed my work cited page was not on its own page after I had already submitted the
assignment. I also had several different mistakes that I did not noticed after submitting the paper
but once I was given guidance by my Instructor I believe I was able to correct the work cited page
correctly to meet MLA standards. I know that with the information and guidance I have learned
during this assignment I feel that I will be able to correctly write a successful essay assignment
during my college career along with my career as a Law Enforcement

How do I feel now? Could I have acted differently? What have I learnt? How will that influence my
future practice? What has the incident taught me about my values and/or my belief system? What

Reflection on Practice

Date: 3rd Feb 1995 A 50 year old man with CA lung who was not expected to live much longer was
smoking in his room with oxygen. The Consultant had just visited him and told him that he could
continue to smoke in his room. The gentleman was unsafe to be left as every time he took a puff on
the cigarette he collapsed and he still had the oxygen running through a nasal cannulae.
Description of the experience
I expressed my concerns to the Consultant, my concerns being: There was piped oxygen in the
room and there was a high risk that it may ignite. There was a risk to the

Reflective Essay
Introduction
People often spend at least few minutes every day before the mirror.
Why do you stand before a mirror? What do you see when you look at the mirror? 'You', right?
Technically speaking we stand before a mirror to analyze ourselves by looking at our own reflection
in the mirror.
The same can be said about the reflective compositions. A reflective composition is the result of
introspection into past experiences or memorable events in our lives.
We introspect into these memorable events and reflect over them with regards the emotions and
influences they have left in our lives.
In simple words a reflective essay is a piece of 'you' being presented in words.

Synthesis
A reflective essay expresses how do the components of your experience relate or react in the given
situation, how similar experiences and interactions introduced changes in your outlook, what have
you learned from your experience etc.
Evaluation
A reflective essay should evaluate your experience. It shows your attitude towards the subject, your
degree of subjectivity, how it affected you, what you accept or reject, how the experience will help
you to perceive or act differently in the future etc.
IT IS PURPOSEFUL
A reflective essay is not merely scribbling some thoughts that come up in your mind. It has a
definitive purpose that you want to accomplish – to learn, to improve, to demonstrate an insight
through your essay.
IT IS FORMAL
Of course, a reflective essay is personal, reflective and based on experience and observations but at
the same time the style of presentation should be standardized. One has to use the standard format
for preparing a reflective essay.
STRUCTURE OF A REFLECTIVE ESSAY
A reflective essay is a form of writing that examines and observes the individual experience. When
writing a reflective essay, it is important to use descriptive language.
Reflective essays are based upon your own experiences, so it is expected that you write about
yourself, your ideas and your opinions. As a result, it is

Reflective Essay
Reflecting on your learning through writing is a very effective way to show what you know and
understand. As a future teacher, you will be constantly reflecting on the students in your classroom,
your teaching, and what you could do differently next time. To help you begin to develop this
reflective practice this semester as you write about the things you learned from your readings, your
own experiences as a writer, and your classroom experiences with your peers.
The purpose of this assignment is to help you summarize and react to your readings and
experiences. Each response will contain a summary and response to the readings for the week.
Identify 3 impressionable quotes from readings (e.g., wow––hit you as important, something you
disagree with, makes you wonder, A–Ha moment). Provide the quote and the page number (and text)
where the quote is located.
After identifying the quotes, explain why you chose those three and reflect on their importance in
the context of the reading and how they help you think about writing instruction. These three quotes
should represent three main ideas of the readings and be thoroughly described with reflections about
how you as a writing teacher can implement these ideas into your classroom. Answer the question:
What do you see as the primary advantages of teaching genre with purpose? What might be
challenging about this approach?
Based on the quotes you chose and the reflection you wrote, bring 2 questions about the readings

It is astonishing that my journey through English class has come to a close. My path has been a
smooth and enjoyable one, and it is with great sadness that I begin to gather up the ends of my
literary education. I know that I will continue to grow and develop as a critical reader/thinker
throughout my life, but I will miss the educational structure that has shaped my literary
understanding for the last year. I consider my greatest strengths as a writer to be my insightfulness
and creative slant with which I approach my work. I understand most styles of writing and I
enthusiastically grasp the text with an eagerness to understand and relate to it. I enjoyed gathering

I have also gone from being content with reading a piece once or twice to not being satisfied until
I have read the piece multiple times in fear that I may have missed some crucial element. Looking
for fundamentals other than just theme, development of characters, etc. shows how much I have
matured. I have learned so much throughout this process of writing and revising these essays. It
has become very clear to me that a piece of writing is never perfect; something can always be
reworded or reorganized to make for a more clear presentation. I have also learned how biased a
writer has become. After working with these pieces for so long, I have seen how a writer can
become "blind" to sections in his/her work. The most important thing that I have realized is
discovering just how much I enjoyed English and how I really would like to further my education.
My athletics essay is the one of which I am most proud. I took such an interest in my athletics paper;
I was able to get a autographed picture of Lute Olsen, when talking with the athletic director. I feel
especially connected to that story because that I associated myself with the controversy of student
athletes. I also think that the essay is quite sophisticated and takes a mature view of school affairs.
The essay accomplishes a lot and shows my development as a "principled thinker." I am very proud

English 101 Reflective Essay
English 101 has been such an adventure. I know that sounds corny, but I just couldn't help myself.
When I decided to do a short–term English class, I thought it would be fun and challenging; My
expectations were correct. As I write this reflection, I look back on the topics and assignments that
existed in this short period of time from post 1 to the multi–modal project. I will list the challenges I
experienced which creating the creative project, what I learned from the beginning of class to the
end, and what I need to work on in the future. This English adventure started on post 1 and 2 and
ended at the multi–modal project. When I first did post 1 and 2 ,I was excited because we were
incorporating fallacies to our discussions. I previously learned more about fallacies and ethos,
pathos, and logos from a previous communications course and I appreciated the review. I found
that it was challenging to respond properly to posts created by other classmates. My initial
response was always to support each and every classmate by telling them that they did an awesome
job. I had trouble analyzing their work without agreeing with every claim. The multi model project
brought tears to my eyes and I do not mean tears of joy. At first I loved my ideas and was excited
about the outcome, but my stress and nervousness...show more content...
For some reason, transitions are the hardest aspect of writing a paper. I will try my best to

excited about my writing or the topics I write about. I felt so bad for Professor Granillo because
my second essay has a summary that was a page long. She must have been so annoyed, but I
thought I was giving her the proper information. I just need to remember that the bulk of the
information goes in the following body paragraphs. I have some things to work on, but feel
comfortable with my growth as a student and a

Reflection On Experience In Reading And Writing
Reflective Essay
As far as writing is concerned, it has never been a greater pleasure of mine than to write about
something. This semester has provided me with a bundle of opportunities to write about a plethora
of topics which I would not even have considered on second thoughts otherwise. The aim of this
reflective essay is to discuss my Literacy Narrative "Experience in Reading and Writing". I decided to
reflect on this essay as it shows my learning path of the English language. This reflection will
analyze the learning process I went through and how it was applied. The process of learning a
language is to be able to understand, read, write and speak it effectively in order to enable
communication. I will also discuss the obstacles that I faced and how I came through from it
with proper guidance. The essay is to reflect on my role as a student, guided by peers and guides
in search of verbosity. Moreover, the essay is proof of how far I have come from having ideas all
over the place and not making sense. This essay shows that I can frame my thought coherently and
provide a central topic around which everything could be related to. I believe that the essay would
be inspiring and can help others understand that language is no barrier if you work on it and shall
become one of the most important tools in life.
Most of the time when I plan on learning something, it so happens that I cannot focus on one
single idea or be able to link a group of ideas together. This has for most parts prevented me from
taking an initiative to write about it. Writing something proved challenging as whatever I wrote had
to be structurally and grammatically correct. Consequently, the pressure of managing these
problems made it difficult to have a meaningful subject that could be rhetorically satisfactory. This
essay introduces the issue initially as tries to put in the factors that were responsible for it. The
primary audience for this essay would be myself and my instructor, so the main aim was to
understand my own triumphs and tribulations this semester. While it is true that others might read
this essay, I decided to write on an issue that everyone would have experienced. For this reason, I
decided to write about learning a

English Composition Reflective Essay
English composition has taught me everything I know now, from how to effectively write a thesis
to grammatically fix my essay. This class fixed my writing skills to speak and write incorrect
terms. English composition gave me the edge I need to take my writing skills to next level. This
class has helped me understand the importance of documentation in a research skill. English
composition showed me that sources either make or break your essay. The true honesty of this
course was that I am glad I took it. At first, I hate this class so much, because this class required so
much extra work to be done, but over time I realized that the extra work really pushes you over the
edge to make your essay great. The extra work justifies your essay and molds

Reflective Essay On English 101
Proficient writing is an essential skill in all aspects of academic and professional achievement.
English 101, Introduction to Composition and Rhetoric, provided the framework to good writing,
teaching me composition and rhetoric fundamentals, polishing up my grammar and style, and
expressing a clear message. English 102, Composition, Rhetoric, and Research, continued to build
on the skills I learned in English 101, focusing on the subject matter research process and
employing various rhetorical and literary devices to better express a clear message to the reader.
The course also improved my critical thinking capacity, allowing me to culturally evaluate my
target audience, present logically flowing arguments using appropriate language and structure, and
critically reviewing my writing projects for content and expression. Every writer inherently knows
there's always room to improve and I hold fast to this mindset in all academic, professional, and
personal writing projects. English 102 has both challenged and inspired me to grow into a much
better writer than before I began the class, providing the necessary skills to be not just a good
writer, but a great writer.
Most of my English 102 writing projects are rhetorical arguments, intended to persuade the reader in
one direction or another. Reflecting on the many skills I honed in English 102, my predetermined
use of rhetorical strategies (ethos, logos, pathos), developing a concise thesis statement, and clearly
defining

One of the greatest successes that I experienced in my past was having carried over my community

Reflective Essay On Interdisciplinary Studies
Reflective Essay From this journey of interdisciplinary studies that I have embarked on I am at the
beginning phases with this introductory course. I have crossed the stage of glossary terms and
figuring out how to apply them to real life scenarios. I feel that the most eye–opening chapter for me
was Chapter 3, which covered the "Cognitive Toolkit" that is the part of the course where I knew
the concepts were coming together for me. Expressing what interdisciplinary studies means to me,
how important integration is, and how my views have change and will change in the future has
been fulfilling. Interdisciplinary studies is a cognitive process by which individuals or groups
draw on disciplinary perspectives and integrate their insights and modes of thinking to advance
their understanding of a complex problem with the goal of applying the understanding to a real
world problem (Refko, Szostak, & Buchberger, 2014). It is a process of drawing on more than one
discipline's unique view of reality, using advanced understanding, and being able to tackle a complex
problem or question through the integration of insights. Interdisciplinary work is a means to achieve
an outcome that can assume and abstract or...show more content...
The new understanding is the result of the integrative process. The purpose of interdisciplinary
studies is not to choose one disciplinary concept but to achieve a deeper understanding of the
problem by integrating the best features of competing theories. It is the ability to take portions of
different perspectives and creating a synthesized third perspective or concept. Integration is at the
core of the interdisciplinary process and is reached by blending concepts. Without integration,
interdisciplinarity would not be

Reflective Writing:
Facing My Challenges
As I came to English 45, I thought it was going to be a tough class, because it's an accelerated class.
An accelerated class tends to be a fast–past class that covers 2 classes in one. When I got to English
45 I assumed that it wouldn't be tough, although the results were opposites, English 45 gave me
many challenged to face throughout the whole semester. Throughout this semester English 45 has
thought me many different techniques to improve my English and writing. Ever since the first day, I
felt confident about everything, although my confidence wasn't always right because I learned that
the grading and essay structure is different. When I got back the first essay that we did, I saw the
challenges that I would be facing throughout the semester, because of each teacher/professor grades
differently.
Ater learning what a professor expects on a paper, still left me with doubts about writing a perfect
paper, because writing an essay can be written is many different ways. One challenged that occurred
to me throughout the semester, was not being able to write at least a four–page essay. As well as not
knowing the structure, or how a paper is formatted, was also a challenge to me because that was
one of the main things a professor looks at in college. The main challenge that I faced throughout the
whole semester was grammar and checking is the whole essay is well written. Grammar was one of
the main issued that I faced through this

I have always been a thinker, however throughout my coursework; I have mainly focused on
sharpening my critical analysis skills as psychology student. It is true that I challenged myself to
get into deeper meaning of each of the course as possible in order to understand the meaning and

skills and knowledge necessary for them to get engage in their professional career (Hughes &

Reflective Essay: The Progress Of My Writing
The progress of my writing has consisted of overcoming struggles as well as enhancing my strengths.
Some in which will include style, organization, evidence, focused topic, etc. Undoubtedly, there are
numerous elements of writing to establish a clear statement regarding the topic discussed. Elements
that I have been focused on and implemented are the introductions that describe an overview of the
topic along.
Furthermore, some components that I consider while I'm beginning to write an essay or report is to
always look for evidence that the author presents throughout his argument. It's important to point
out their evidence to either support or a rebuttal and thoughts of your own. Overall, I focus on
creating a quick and simple introduction towards the text I am referring to and assemble a thesis as
well as a cliffhanger to keep the audience engaged. Likewise, I also include is transitions to form
my claims and ideas be associated with each other.
In addition, the organization is also something that I have improved on to have a concrete order to
cite a quote, the perspective of the author's claim, and show evidence or support. When using I need
to keep a reminder, that it's best if transitions are used for topic sentences and wrapping up the
evidence given previously to close out the last paragraph sentence. In...show more content...
For instance, sentence structure, using the word "I" in formal writing, and punctuation mistakes.
Ultimately, I lack of sentence structure because I have an idea of what is needed to talk about, but I
can't properly put it in a clear way for it to relate back to the text. Therefore, I don't put much
attention to the punctuation since I'm struggling to generate a clear argument. A common mistake I
tend to do is trying to implement that it's my own point of view or perspective, going off of the
quote. To which results in adding the word "I" throughout the essay without

English Class Reflective Essay
Since beginning to write papers in English class, I have had countless successes and failures.
While many of my English classes have taught me how to improve my writing, I have not learned
very much in others. My most recent English class was last year, my sophomore year. My class
was particularly undersized; therefore, it gave each student the opportunity to have additional
individual attention. Throughout the class I experienced high points, weaknesses, and even
difficulties that I never overcame. Overall, my writing skills improved, but only marginally. One
of the high points of the class was consistently making high A's. We wrote a variety of different
types of papers, and my grade was always respectable. Succeeding in this class made me feel
adequately prepared to write proper papers. Although I made impressive grades for the class, I
was able to do so with only minimal effort. Therefore, I knew I could execute my papers better.
The quality of my writing seemed to stay stagnant over the course of the year. This class would
have been exponentially more beneficial had it challenged me to improve my writing, however it
never did. Although I was not overly challenged in my last English class, I have several weaknesses
as a writer. My biggest weakness is neglecting to ask important questions that could improve my
writing. Receiving...show more content...
One of the most problematic difficulties I faced and am still facing is self–revision. When writing a
paper, it is extremely important to revise your essay multiple times before submitting the final
version. Every revision helps to build a more polished essay. I feel that my paper fails to progress
enough from the rough draft to the final. To fix this, I need to give myself longer breaks between
revising. Becoming skilled at revising my own papers will allow me to develop into a more
competent, successful

During this class, the challenge of writing and reading many essays have definitely improve my
writing. There are so many details that need to be considered when crafting a paper. The grammar,
neatness, relevance of the content, and the paper formatting are key aspects of the quality of writing.
In the essay it was fairly simple to describe my surroundings, the sound, smell and general
structure. When I started thinking of all the things I remembered from my experience in the
ocean, I was able to make a gigantic list of details that I wanted to include in my essay, and I had to
do some editing in order to fit the project guidelines. I wanted to convey how powerful and moving
that experience was for me. I also wanted it to have a lot of vivid

Growing Words In high school my essays were about summarizing a chapter from a book or
writing a short story. There was no set length it had to be and there were not any specifics to focus
on such as to focus on a strong introduction or to focus on being organized when writing. The
essays that I wrote in high school were just for a quick grade or to help out our grade. I did not
really have that much experience in writing essays. In the past semester I have grown more as a
writer than I have in the past years. My essays have been becoming more detailed and less vague.

It made me cite the sources using the Modern Language Association format. And the last sort ofessay
was a reflection essay, in which I looked back at the semester to see how I have grown as a writer
in certain areas, also to see how I can improve in the future as a writer. My skills on using various
writing techniques were improved this semester. The course taught me the difference in
summarizing and paraphrasing. Summarizing is pulling out the main points of something a
person has read, and it should not be as long as the thing is being summarized. Paraphrasing
requires reading a sentence or paragraph at a time and making it into thier own words, and by
doing so changing more than just a word or two. If only a word or two is changed that is called
plagiarism, taking credit in which the work is not really theirs. I was also taught to use ethos,
pathos, and logos in my writing. I remember in class we had to tell how our clothes reflective
ethos, pathos, and logos. It really stuck with me the difference in the three and why and how I
should use them in my writing. The ethos would give me creditability that I am a believable writer,
the pathos would help give emotion and personation in my work, and the logos would contribute
facts and informative things. I was well educated in forming a higher quality of an essay. The essay
should be organized in a formally manner that flows well. The

will grow. I look forward to next year!
Over the year, I have seen Maitreya grow as a writer. He now slows down and organizes his
writing prior to starting. This increases his ability to create a clear and well structured essay. At
times, he still struggles to pick the best evidence for his argument. When Maitreya takes time to stop
and ask himself, "Does the evidence fit," he can usually answer the question correctly. Next year I
hope he continues to apply what he learned this year.
Ian works incredibly hard and I never need to remind him to stay on task. He works extremely
well independently and because of his diligence is always the first to turn in assignments. He sets

The three chosen goals for year 2 of my nursing programme were specific, measurable, attainable,
realistic and timely (S.M.A.R.T).
Goal one, was set out to help me become competent in critically appraising evidence and literature,
which supports the learning skills of being able to produce academic work at level 5 standards.
This goal required gaining understanding and knowledge of critical appraisal, as well as thoroughly
comprehending the elements of critical appraisal and correctly identifying and using tool,
frameworks and guidelines to critically appraise evidence and literature. The significance of
achieving this goal was to help me complete year 2 modules of understanding evidence–based
nursing and examining health and social care needs of vulnerable adults and achieving an overall
good grade in both modules.
What I generally thought was, for the understanding evidence based nursing essay I did not
perform well with my critical appraisal, as most of my time was spent on formulating a PICO
question and did not have sufficient time to write a powerful essay. However results showed that I
gained an overall 55% mark, and comments that were given by the moderator were as follows

Cubby (2007) wrote that employees' suicide were related to the extreme work stress in Telstra.
According to the news, Greg Winn, Telstra's chief operations officer said that "WE RUN an absolute
dictatorship and that's what's going to drive this transformation and deliver results." (Cubby, 2007)
Furthermore, Greg Winn claim that the employees in Telstra must try any measures to persuade
customers to accept the service that they offered. And Telstra were tracking employees' productivity.
If the employees don't operate and satisfy the superior's reqirement, they would be fired from
Telstra. As such a workplace environment with extreme pressure to meet Telstra's goal and get
profit, some employees committed suicide. Hence, the organisation should not only focus on the
economic goal, but also should know emloyees' view of health identities. If they just focus on the
economic goal and ignore employee's health, the productivity of employees would lower than
normal level or even worse. Also they may lead to negative effects on employees.
In a word, the "Model of Working Welll" is important to the organisations and individuals. After I
learned this topic, I realized that we should consider both perspectives of health ideologies. If the
organisation or individual just consider their own benefit but ignore another party's perspective, the
wellness program would not efficient. Moreover, I consider I will apply
