Existentialism Explored through Meaningless Reflection Existentialism Explored through Meaningless Reflection Although there is no specific question in which

to answer for this reflection, I found that in order for me to successfully accomplish it I had to. The first qu estion I asked myself was, what exactly did I do? It is hard to remember every e xact piece for English that I read or wrote, however I do know the less than sub stantial amount of time that I put in, up until my American dream definition pap er. The point of a reflection is to reflect upon myself, the work I accomplished, an d my writing technique. I have put in contributions to the pursuit of my learnin g, however one of the major downfalls that I have failed to accomplish is my ong oing procrastination in all of my schoolwork. Up until the American Dream defini tion paper, I was not using my time wisely. It was hard for me to manage other s choolwork, sports, dancing, and my job. With the American dream essay, I had a m onth to sort through my papers, thoughts, and also look up more information on p eople's beliefs of their American dream. I started to jot down many ideas and se ntences, however the problem with that was that I didn't stay organized at all. I ended up losing two drafts of my paper until I decided to save everything on m y computer so I could write and cut whatever I wanted without the fear of losing papers again. This turned out to be very effective, and I plan to use this way of writing papers much more often. I have not been responsible this year in my schoolwork in the fact that if it is n't procrastination, I am losing papers. All year as a whole I also haven't been responsible in English in the fact that I haven't rewritten one paper. On my Ca esar essay I knew I could do better, and on my Great Gatsby timed essay I receiv ed a D+. The comment written on my paper says, "This just scrambles, never makes a point." When I read this and looked at my essay, I realized it was mostly bec ause I didn't have a good prewrite to help me along the way. I decided that I wa sn't going to let that happen with my American Dream essay, which is why I put a lot more effort into it by organizing my thoughts and writing good prewrite to keep me focused throughout the whole essay. I am quite confident with at least t he essay, however I promised myself that if I do bad on it, I will continue to w ork on the paper until it is an A. The reason I said, "I am quite confident with at least my essay," is because it is a clear fact that my oral presentation was horrible. I am going to talk about my song, presentation, essay, and American Dream until as a whole during my Ame rican Dream reflection, however I just want it to be known that I didn't intenti onally mean to make the presentation so bad. I originally had another song picke d out, however someone else said they were using it, which I didn't find out unt il the day of my presentation. The song I picked did not relate to my essay at a ll, although it did tie in with the Harlem Renaissance. From this horrible prese ntation however, I did learn that voicing my opinion about something at least lo gical is as important, I need to learn how to speak better in front of others, a nd also that I cant just wing oral presentations because they are just as import ant as written essays. Every reflection I write, I learn a little more about my ups and downfalls in En glish as well as other subjects. Although the downfalls overpower the better qua lities I possess, I am going to try 110% during the last quarter in order for me to prove to myself that I can be happy about my grades and works that I know I can achieve. I only have one quarter left to prove to myself that that is the t ype of student I want to be, and hopefully I will accomplish this task.
