SMART Goals

My main goal before taking English 103 was to simply improve on my writing

and learn more about the multiple techniques used to improve writing itself. I feel

like I did achieve my goal of learning and improving. Comparing my two essays

that I wrote in English 101 and English 103, have much of a difference. However,

the change varies, my improvement has to continue growing in order for my

writing to increase.

In the beginning of the semester I felt like this class was going to be

confusing because honestly English has always been my hardest subject just

because I mainly talk and write in Spanish. I got very confused throughout the

steps in writing in English; however, leaving this class I did improve in my

writing. I believe that English is a difficult for someone who lives in two worlds of

different languages. Although, I had my difficulties in the semester, I did learn so

much about seeing the world and society in a different way, not only visually but

in writing as well.

The techniques that I have used and learned throughout this course is to

always prepare a guide before writing the actual essay. Putting my ideas down in a

white paper and then organizing them into an essay helped me a lot. It helped me a

lot because I would organize the essay better format wise. Another technique is

was to always read my essay out loud to myself to find simple grammar errors.
I struggled most with thesis and understanding deeply the topic of the essay. I

would lose track and get off the main topic of the essay. Understanding the theories

was a little difficult for me because there was just so many ideas to think about. I

managed to understand each theory as much I could and wrote all the essays to my

understanding. Thesis are very complex but I did improve on having a deeper

evaluation in each thesis I wrote.

English is a very important subject because many have to learn how to

communicate here in a country where English is the main language. I did plan to

be a teacher for an elementary school and teach English. By taking this course it

helped a lot to learn about so many more techniques that I can use. English writing

and speaking will help me improve into my future career. Utilizing English to a

deeper expand will help me understand better how to write essays.
