This self-evaluation discusses the author's writing process and what they have learned about themselves. The author wants readers to feel emotions and leave more intelligent after reading their papers. However, they acknowledge being lazy at times and using too many rhetorical questions in one essay, which decreased their grade. In another essay, laziness caused it to be shorter than it could have been, though the author felt it was more fluent than the previous one. The author learned they are detailed and like sharing vivid images with readers, but need to work on avoiding procrastination and using the word "you" too frequently.

1. Self-Evaluation
When I am writing a paper I want to connect to the audience. I want the audience to feel
every emotion in the paper. I want the audience leave after reading my paper with more than just
“That was good.” My attitude towards my papers is that everyone who reads them will walk
away more intelligent than from when they first stopped to read. I know this sounds selfish but it
is just the way that I am. I am a perfectionist and I love things to go my way. This year in
English class I learned a lot about myself. I learned that I am a very good writer when I am not
lazy. I learned that I use the word you a lot in my essays and they need to be taken away. I also
learned how to truly connect with the reader, how to get inside their mind and write down what
they are thinking. This English class has shown me new paths and roads on my journey to
become a better writer.
The result of this paper caused a decrease in my grade. I wrote an essay titled “Nudity vs
Nakedness” The Bare Concept and it was a good essay it just used a lot of rhetorical questions.
One or two is okay but I completely had too many in my paper. I felt like it was a very good
paper I just didn’t receive the grade I was looking for, mainly for myself because I know I am a
good writer, but it was a result of me being lazy again. There were times like I just feel as
though I could write forever and then it would stop and then my mind would go blank. After I
would start procrastinating. This is one of my biggest problems when writing, I cannot sit down
and write for a long period of time on my own. This is one of the biggest issues that was
contained later on in the semester.
In another essay I wrote titled “Scared To Life” again the laziness got a hold of me and
this essay could have been particularly better. I feel as though I wrote this essay a lot more
fluent than the first one. But lack of quotes and lack of longevity really messed this paper up.

2. Even though the grade does not reflect it, this essay was a better paper in whole that the previous
one. In what I learned about myself in this paper is that I am a detailed writer. I like to explain
the scenes that I saw and I want the audience to see what I saw and share the image together.
