This semester has helped me achieve my goal of improving my writing skills. From learning new techniques on how to captivate my reader, I’ve also learned new words to use in my writing. Throughout the semester, I’ve gotten to learn how to notice my mistakes when writing with the help of the readings given. Such mistakes as throwing in empty quotes and not explaining them properly are more apparent to me, and I’ve realized that sometimes more is less. Rereading sentences to double check my writing will always continue but I think my goals were appropriate and fulfilled.
