There were a lot of self-reflection opportunities in my freshman composition class. There were some essays for self-reflection to reflect on my writings as well as my semi-weekly reflections. I was evaluating how much I grew as a writer in these self-reflection assignments. I would discuss in these essays how my writing skills have developed as well as new practices in my writing that have impacted my essays. 

Something I learned that has stayed with me is to organize my work as I put information in the correct places. I also have practiced my skills in the writing process such as revising, editing, and drafting. This has an impact on my final draft of that essay. A major thing that I took away from this is getting more experience with research. I had to write many essays where I had to do research on my topic and get information from different sources. I started to paraphrase instead of making quotes in my essays, which I am planning on doing in the future.
