Self Reflection Essay 1

First, I brainstormed ideas that I was interested in, and that I could write a response essay to. Next, while looking through articles about those topics, I picked the first one that grabbed my attention the most. After that, I began drafting my thesis and introduction paragraph, then finished the rough draft following the introduction paragraph’s layout. Choosing the article was the most challenging part because I am an indecisive person, so making the call on which article to use was difficult for me. I focused on a strong thesis and introduction paragraph, smooth transition sentences, and details about my opinion, the most. There is not much I would change for future assignments, but I do feel like I need to work on a stronger conclusion. I think the one in my essay was a little weak, as I just restated the introduction. The methods used in my process of writing can be useful in other areas of my life, not just academic. If I needed to communicate with my current boss, being able to construct a paper that is clear and organized is a vital skill. In my speech class, it is important to be able to create a solid introduction and hook.
