I have become aware of myself as a writer and a thinker throughout the semester. I’ve learned many new things that I didn’t know before that were not only important but would later improve my essay's work. The first thing I didn’t know was when the proper way to use commas in a sentence. The second thing I didn’t know before was that I don’t have to start a paragraph with a transition word. The last thing I didn’t know before was the proper use of grammar words in each sentence. Learning from my mistakes has given me a lot and I hope I won’t forget doing these mishaps again.
To start, I didn’t know I had difficulties with comma use, and that led to some problems. Without knowing when I must put commas in their original place, I thought the essays were perfect with no mistakes at all. By the time, I got the essay back I was happy with what I got, but what I saw. In my paper, I see many of the miss commas that were supposed to be added to the essay. I was upset that I didn't know I had to add these commas and I wanted to fix them. I learned from my mistakes that I should read carefully and aloud, think if a comma belongs there or not, and hope that I will never miss adding a comma again.
The second thing I didn’t know before was that I don’t must start every paragraph with a transition word. For me, starting with a transition was important, a way to start a paragraph, and this was a lesson I learned from many teachers. When I noticed this mistake, I had to figure out other ways to start a paragraph. For instance, when I wrote my first article about my favorite pastimes, in my second paragraph the word 'in mind' was crossed out and the word 'my' was chaptalized, and even in the last paragraph, the transition word was out the door. As I learned from this mistake, it made me rethink much for the words I’m going to put at the beginning of each paragraph and made me a better writer for future essays.
And the last thing I didn't know before was the proper use of grammar words in a sentence. I roughly had a hard time knowing what the proper word was to put in each sentence of the paragraph. I had to learn much from the mistake by reading it over and seeing what words I should have put. For illustration, in my second essay, I had to add the word 'and' between 'daily' and 'by', and the word 'thing' didn’t make a lot of sense. In my first essay, the word 'too much' didn’t make sense either, and I also had to replace the word 'to' with into.
I had so many common errors that I need to learn from, but with practice, effort, and thinking carefully, I’m sure I can fix the slips I’ve done. Taking this course made me proud because I had fixed so many of my mistakes that I didn’t notice before. By helping find correct comma placements, not starting every paragraph with a transition, and finding proper grammar words that made more sense, I have become aware of a better writer and thinker. If you want to become a better writer, the best way to do that is by looking at your past mistakes and not repeating them in the future.
