In the beginning of the semester, I was quite anxious in the introduction of my English course, especially when the first major assignment was assigned. For the first major assignment, the class was instructed to write a narrative paper, through my perspective I found it intriguing by the idea of it. Especially in my high school career my teachers would not emphasize the importance of the narrative writing style. In addition, the assignment became more interesting when Professor Torres, described the depths of literacy. Through basic knowledge I limited literacy to scholarly journals, article and books; however Professor Torres directly explained how literacy takes part of everyone’s daily life’s. Therefore the class was open to pick any literacy type that involved more than just books, such as music, movies and even television shows. Therefore I decided to write my narrative paper over my favorite television show, The Nanny. In the narrative paper I stressed on why I chose a television show because I was not very fond of children’s books during my youth. During my childhood, I explained how I found the books very predictable and the main ideas of the stories would be repetitive and boring. While constructing my first assignment, writing my personal views were intriguing and effective, however as I went into depth with my writing, I found myself to have trouble sometimes formatting the paper, which led to more errors in my grammar, structure and in my choice of words.

By then my Professor introduced us to the formatting style of annotated bibliography. It was quite anticipating when first introduced, however Professor Torres did an excellent job in explain the steps in constructing a well written annotated bibliography. The assignment, help me improve the importance of constructing work citation. In addition, when learning to annotate a scholarly journal, guided me to improve my knowledge in my other classes and gain more information for the subject I have chosen for the social issues.

Before composing the assignment, my professor educated the class on how to develop well construed persuasive essay and speeches. She first demonstrated the class several oral personation from the 2016 election speeches. She then identifies several key points. For instance, many of the presenters used family memories to demonstrate a connection with the audience, in other terms to use resources that can be relatable to others. Secondly, my professor also specifies on how the presenters would use words to be motivational or inspiring. Furthermore, as my Professor would repetitively demonstrate the class examples, I would be more intrigued to write my persuasive essay. Especially because of the position I hold in abortion. Through writing it was pleasant to write unique positions such as in my third assignment. Once more, through writing I learned that a person can openly express one’s true values and mindset as a modest
