Before, I stated that “throughout the semester I usually want to be in a quiet room or stay outside in the cold with no music or smart phone so I can always focus on writing or doing homework in general. A habit that I would is to procrastinate less for everything and try to ignore smartphone when I’m doing my work.” Which I think messed me up for my first writing making me more worried. So, I started to do the opposite for somethings. Which is listening to music whenever I do my writing, or drafts. Making many till I get tired and then wrap everything up all together to make my essay. I adjusted to my surroundings either its quiet or loud. Being in a quiet environment makes me tired and sleepy so I enjoyed the loud noises since it wakes me up.

Other than the outcomes I mentioned. These are other outcomes that are meaningful to me is improving old strategies that had help me in High school, how my writing improved with time and gathering new information for a topic I am well informed. Coming to college I had improved some skills I acquired in High School, such as stance in my writing, and counter arguments. Which I believe were my strongest in High School. Being persuasive has improved as well even though I had not made any writing using this technique. Another thing might be how I gathered new information in my writing, which is about depression and will be beneficial to me whenever I have a loved one or myself be caught by depression.

You can see how I started this class which wasn’t strong and left how it is. As I go on in this class. My writing is so much different from my first essay compared to the rest. You can see small glimpse of me using counterargument in my second essay which is my inquiry-based essay. Stance is something I used this whole semester for all my writings. Being persuasive can be seen in one of drafts which had happen in mistake since I got somewhat lost in that assignment which is Common two genres.
