my experiences
I developed these skills throughout English 101 and 102 by being open-minded and dedicated to working hard. At the beginning of these courses I had little confidence in my writing. Now that I am at completing English 102 I feel confident and secure in my writing abilities and ready to take on additional college courses. I have always been an organized and determined student but taking these courses has made me understand the importance of learning and developing new habits. Going into these courses I focused on challenging myself to understand what the expectations were in a college course and how I would manage my class work and other activities in the future. Learning these skills has been beneficial to me in my other courses and my everyday life at home and work by holding myself accountable to timelines and schedules.
