This was the first reflection of the course. These questions guided me to compare my previous works and experiences to the Letter of Introduction document. My response is shown as a paragraph below the questions.
Have you done similar type of writing in the past?
Does your writing tell a story?
What does this piece reveal about you as a learner?
Do you believe your reader will notice what you wanted the reader to notice?
What would you have to change to get them to notice what you want then to notice?
I have done a similar type of writing in the past; this letter of introduction reminded me of when I was writing my college essay for high school. The same aspect for both of these works of writing was listing a personal challenge while telling a story; and how development was achieved through that experience. My writing portrays a broad perspective of my life since I arrived in The United States. What this piece reveals about me as a learner is that I can make connections easily with topics that might seem unrelated. I do believe the reader will notice what I wanted the reader to notice because of the relationship between my struggles, needs, interests, choices, and goals. I would probably have to change the transitioning and the percentage of certain topics to clarify my point.
