My first year of collage was pretty daunting at first since, like most people, this a completely new experience. I had spent a lot of time on my first day looking for what room my classes were since, at the time, I was unfamiliar with structure of the school and was left wondering which buildings were which. Luckily, I had foreseen an issue like this occurring so I had arrived an hour before my first class began. Once I had stepped into my first class, a lot of my concerns had been blown away because most of my professors were very outgoing and reassuring, probably because they knew that most of the students present were first years

My Job At An Apple Plant

The thesis statement of the essay is “But none of these jobs was as dreadful as my job in an apple plant” referring to how despite working many different jobs, each with varying levels of effort and danger, his job at the apple plant was by far the worst

1. The first supporting paragraph revolves around how taxing the job at the apple farm was
2. The second supporting paragraph was about how the pay in relation the the work done was abysmal
3. The third supporting paragraph explained the horrible working conditions were at the apple plant

One of the things that I want to learn from this class is the ability to more easily transfer my thoughts onto paper. One of my major challenges when writing is that I spend to much time in my head thinking about words that will properly express my thoughts. I tend to reread my sentences over and over, often resulting in me changing the sentence midway to something completely different from what I started with. As a result, it was always difficult for me to write essays since I be making constant changes to what I write and, often times, would become slightly frustrated with myself. With all that being said, I am also fully aware that I’m probably just being hard on myself and that I am definitely a better writer then I was before.

As far as my past experiences with English classes, despite it being my least favorite subject in highschool, a lot of my past teachers have definitely made me a better writer. My 11th and 12th grade English teachers were some of the teachers who helped improve my writing the most because they saw how I would get stuck and offer advice in a way that not only help me translate my thoughts but also help me in the future if i ever encounter the same issue.
