My First Step Into College Essay

As I harbour started my college career I detect that the writing is a lot harder than it ever has been before. More in depth, more to do and of course the deadlines and due dates are much shorter. Time and condemnation once more Im reminded that my time have intercoursement skills have really brought down my writing ability and that I need to apply myself to my writing more to annul failing a paper or even a class. My experience in first taking incline 1100 and having to retake it have pushed me to better manage my time and focus on writing well(p) put together essays that are college level. I learned that the whole structure of this class is a elfin bit a new experience and some I have done before. Just like everyone, Im non perfect, I have strengths, and many weaknesses in my writing that I could improve on but I would really like to improve my writing.Last semester was a hectic and non very good start to my college career because I failed to deal with the pressure from th e expectations given by my teachers, and my parents. The teacher gives the due dates and the instructions to the students, me included, but the only issue I could seem to follow perfectly is the deadline aspect of the papers. That was an important yet easy expectation to follow because if you did not turn it in on time then you dont get a grade for it basically, which is something I didnt want to let happen, although my lack of time management skills did not booster the content of that essay live up to the teachers expectations. I have learned from this that it is hard to finish a paper when you get home from work at 1030 dead tired, and you stay up till one in the morning finishing it when you could have done it on your day finish and not have had to worry more or less it the night before. That was after the dickens days of pre writing I did for the paper.It was another narrative but more personal. It was about either a place or person that is significant in your life. I chose my girlfriend, I love her to death and I dont go out much so she was the only thing listed under the prompt that I could write a significant and relevant to the prompt narrative. It was going well I was asking my girlfriend for help as far as proofreading and editing. It was great to have her there because she is a much better writer than I am. That paper was going well until I had to stay up late the night before to finish it. Needless to say I didnt note good about how it was going to turn out and I was kind of right. I was given a C minus, mostly for a lot of spell out issues and run on sentences, which could have been fixed if I did not have to rush to finish the paper and if I would have hit the spell grade button.I fell a little short of my parents expectations who expected C pluss, Bs, and As out of me. It was a little hard telling them my grade and explaining why it was so low and how I should have taken more time on it and how I should not have slacked off. As hard and annoying as it was to hear it they were right, I couldnt slack off and pass the class. Unfortunately I couldnt pucker down in time enough to save my grade and I ended up failing the class with a C minus which for my major(ip) is not passing. Through out the rest of the semester I did improve my writing later on especially personal essays and comparison reflections the relate to me.I did overly learn that by fixing my time management skills and taking more time in the whole writing process improved my last two papers which were a research essay and a reader reflection of a text I received a B and a B plus which was surprising to me but was the reward for my learning to apply myself and handle the pressure of the expectations given to me by my teacher and my parents. Throughout my first semester of college in English 1100 I have learned how important the expectations that my teachers and parents give me are. They are set in place so that I can grow as a better, more organized studen t, as well as growing as a writer and better understanding what makes a good essay, the experience taught me a lot and now I am ready to apply myself and redeem myself.
