  • Essay / Strengths and Weaknesses - 860

    Strengths and WeaknessesThroughout Mid-SEE, I wrote reflections on my writing and participated in group activities. I received feedback from my peers and suggestions to help me revise my article. With the help of my professor, Professor Church, and my classmates, I was able to understand their suggestions for improving my essay and by reviewing my classmates' essays, I was able to point out any errors that I might have made in my essay, which prompted me to go back to my essay and check if I had any errors that stood out to me. I discovered what my strengths and weaknesses are in my writing. What I tend to do wrong in my articles is try to keep it on topic throughout the article. I tend to jump from one topic to another and my sentences start to string together and repeat the same things. My strengths when it comes to writing are making sure I always back up my points and making sure my article fits the topic. “Great start: the cookie description has nice sensory details to attract your reader.” (Prof. Church) In re-reading my papers, I don't seem to find any errors that my reviewers find. I think I'm just used to the way I write and the corrections don't jump out at me. “Listen to this sentence out loud, then rephrase it more clearly.” (Prof. Church)As a student, I feel that I have many weaknesses in writing. I know this for myself and because teachers have told me. Some of the complications I face while writing are not using enough body paragraphs, forgetting a thesis statement, lack of word choice, punctuation errors, etc. I sometimes ignore my mistakes, but I always try to correct them. also come from my strengths and weaknesses...... middle of paper ...... up. I was able to expand on research and writing to participate in a scientific conversation on any topic and not just report the first facts. Due to the writing rubric, I believe I am in the range of a B. I put every effort into every article I write and make sure they are turned in or published by the date due date. I never slack off in my work and I always work 110%, so whether my article turns out to be excellent or terrible, I always tell myself that I did my best. Writing about my personal strengths is a difficult task that requires me to focus on the strengths that make up my character. However, attacking my weaknesses means challenging myself to take control of areas that require a redefinition of certain skills to be as successful as possible in life. My life is not defined by my weaknesses, but rather by the composition of my personal strengths..
