    On the first day of school, I remember walking into class and seeing all of the new people in my class. I also remember meeting all of my new teachers.

    The three sample pieces I chose to include in my portfolio are an argumentative English essay, a book report written for an AP science class, and a lab report. These pieces illustrate my proficiency in multiple subject areas including research and argumentation.

    Upon my entry into English 1010-02, my first college writing class, I expected to breeze through the course with an easy-A and minimal effort after my successful completion of AP English 11 this past year. I began the year with the utmost confidence in my writing abilities, and believed that my skills were above par.

At first, I was astonished that my seemingly exceptional writing skills had not earned me the A that I believed I deserved. However, as time went on I came to the realization that I had not put in nearly enough time or effort into the paper to receive more than a C at most.…

    Throughout taking the course WRIT 1500 this semester, I feel that my writing has improved immensely. I have always struggled with planning an essay and writing it but taking this course has helped me improve my writing skills. One example of a struggled I experience is creating a thesis.
