Reflective
Essay
Writing is a long and arduous process. The writing process has its fun parts,
frustrating
parts,
and
rewarding
parts.
During
this
past
semester
we
as
writing
students
were
given
a
list
of
objectives
to
try
and
reach
throughout
the
course
of
the
class.
Having
these
goals
helped
by
breaking
up
all
the
different
aspects
of
the
writing
process
so
the
students
would
not
feel
overwhelmed
by
the
total
task
put
before
them.
I
am
going
to
go
through
each
of
these
objectives
and
explain
how
the
work
I
have
done
throughout
the
semester
has
helped
me
accomplish
and
understand
them
better.
Furthermore,
I
will
discuss
how
these
objectives
helped
me
with
my
final
revision,
or
third
draft
of
my
Memoir
essay.
Throughout the semester I had to learn to write papers in multiple genres. First, a
Memoir
of
my
personal
experiences
that
had
to
discuss
a
rhetorical
opportunity
for
change.
The
personal
experience
I
discussed
was
how
traveling
abroad
helped
me
to
return
to
school
and
pursue
an
education.
The
rhetorical
opportunity
I
approached
was
that
every
student
should
travel
because
traveling
in
its
self
is
a
learning
experience.
The
next
genre
I
learned
to
write
in
was
a
Report
on
the
proven
benefits
of
student
travel,
written
from
peer-reviewed
sources,
experiences,
and
interviews
with
other
students.
The
Report
let
me
show
my
audience
that
there
were
some
really
great
benefits
to
traveling
while
you
are
a
student.
The
last
genre
I
learned
to
write
in
was
Argumentation,
this
allowed
me
to
state
Beh
2
my
opinion
on
why
a
person/student
should
travel
and
the
negative
effects
if
they
chose
not
to.
This
also
helped
me
adapt
the
style
and
design
of
a
proper
argument
by
letting
me
show
I
could
effectively
debate
the
benefits
of
student
travel
without
being
offensive
to
my
intended
audience.
The
next
objective
of
the
course
was
to
learn
to
adapt
strategies
of
argumentation
for
a
given
writing
situation.
I
feel
by
learning
how
to
properly
state
a
position
on
a
subject,
such
as;
the
benefits
of
student
travel,
I
was
able
to
effectively
state
my
own
beliefs
on
the
subject,
critically
respond
to
a
civic
conversation,
and
become
a
legitimate
participant
in
the
student
travel
conversation.
Furthermore,
by
learning
to
properly
gather
documentation
that
backed
me
up
in
theses
conversations
I
built
my
overall
rhetorical
appeal.
By
learning
how
to
approach
research
critically,
analytically,
and
rhetorically
I
was
able
to
find
multiple
peer-reviewed
sources
that
effectively
and
accurately
helped
form
my
argument.
Furthermore,
by
properly
citing
the
sources
I
used,
I
was
giving
credit
and
due
thanks
to
the
authors
for
their
contributions
to
my
papers.
All
of
the
work
I
did
in
different
genres
took
a
lot
of
time
to
learn
how
to
conceive
the
basic
ideas
I
wished
to
explain.
This
course
helped
teach
me
to
properly
draft,
revise,
and
revise
again
every
paper
I
wrote
throughout
the
semester.
I
received
help
in
the
drafting
process
by
working
with
other
students.
Whether
this
help
was
from
peers
reviewing
my
work,
editing
other
students
work,
or
collaborating
with
multiple
students
on
a
single
project
I
was
able
to
fine-tune
the
editing
and
drafting
process.
I
used
this
help
throughout
the
semester
to
revise
each
and
every
assignment.
I
chose
to
revise
my
Memoir
assignment
a
third
time
and
post
it
here
on
my
portfolio
to
showcase
what
I
have
learned
by
accomplishing
these
course
objectives.
The
Beh
3
process
of
revising
a
document
for
a
third
time
was
a
long
and
hard
one.
One
struggle
I
had
was
not
having
a
peer-review
to
help
make
revisions.
Throughout
the
semester
I
looked
to
my
peers
and
professor
for
insight
on
what
my
audience
wanted
to
hear
and
how
they
wanted
to
hear
it.
By
not
having
those
reviews
I
had
to
dig
deep
into
my
own
pride
and
change
parts
of
my
Memoir
that
I
liked.
In
the
end
I
believe
the
changes
I
made
benefited
both
my
audience
and
me.
I
chose
to
showcase
my
Memoir
project
because
it
has
both
a
text
portion
and
a
multimodal
video.
I
believe
by
being
able
to
read,
see,
and
hear
about
my
travels
abroad
my
audience
will
have
a
more
emotional
response
to
the
message
I
am
trying
to
convey.
Furthermore,
the
Memoir
project
displays
how
I
learned
to
edit
and
revise
both
a
text
and
a
multimodal
piece
of
work.
If
I
had
to
go
through
this
process
again
I
would
contact
more
of
the
students
in
my
class
to
receive
peer-reviews
to
help
me
better
understand
my
audience.
By
using
what
I
have
learned
this
semester
I
feel
that
the
document
I
have
created
here
is
finally
reaching
its
true
final
draft.
Now
I
leave
you,
dear
reader,
with
an
open
glimpse
of
my
personal
writing
process
posted
here
on
the
Internet
for
all
to
see.
Please
remember
that
no
paper,
essay,
or
project
is
ever
complete
and
I
welcome
your
comments,
criticisms,
and
praise
to
help
me
with
my
next
final
draft.
