Learning Reflection

This year has gone by surprisingly fast. It is already the fourth quarter. Over the course of this year I have developed as a person, a reader, and a writer. I have always been a strong reader. I read in my free time usually, if I have any. This year, I have been able to read critically and figure out and understand more about the characters, plot, and the author's meaning to the story. These critical reading skills allow me to take good notes and be prepared to learn in depth whenever I read and remember what I read.

I personally have become more relaxed when test taking because I am confident in my reading and writing skills. My vocabulary has increased and grammatical mistakes have decreased, which is always good. These things have all gone towards how I write and edit a paper. Creating a detailed outline with good analysis has become my key to writing a paper that gets my point across. Putting all of these ideas together with transitions has always been what takes me the longest and is where I feel my grade suffers a little. So hopefully, my knowledge that I gain when I read, increased vocabulary, and newly found confidence will allow me to write stronger transitions and create the best flow of ideas.
