My “Self Essays”

I think of the three essays which I have written most recently, the Introduction, Reflection, and Conclusion essays, as self essays because they are more personal and the topic is my personal growth and writing process. I like my intro. essay most. I found it fun to write, because it made me take time to sit back and reflect upon my growth as a writer over the years. I found this exercise made me feel good about my writing development, and although I have a very strange and unique writing process I think it is well adapted for my auditory learning style. Overall my only concern with the essays is that there were occasions where I wanted to address Professor Scott directly and I chose to do so with the familiar “you” form. I’m not sure if I want to change this so that the essays could apply to a broader audience or if I want to keep them specific to the class. I think that since she is the primary audience for my portfolio I will not change my pronoun choice. I generalized the three major assignments but I feel that these essay are just to explain my writing style and process to Professor Scott specifically and no one else so it would be silly to say “the reader”.
