The writing I have included is a bit of a variety.

From writings that I have a connection to

and to writings that I’m learning to help improve future writings.

My first writing is of a research essay that I titled What Is The Relationship Between

Race and Privilege? My goal for this assignment was to learn to understand if there was more

to understanding about race and, privilege other then just being black or white. I also want my

kids to grow up in a world accepting others and being accepted. I feel like in this writing I

conveyed that race and privilege is more about black and white showed how discrimination and

privilege are more then one’s color. This is a difficult subject to write about because we hear a

lot of one sided situations. Very rarely does the world hear the different privileges that happens.

The insights I have gained from this essay is that privilege comes in the form of one’s faith,

race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, and status. I’m so proud of myself for not giving up.

When writing an essay about race and privilege I never thought it would be a lot of one sided

sources, but I got through it. There were lots of emotions that ran through my body but I’m

mostly proud for not giving up because, that would be easy the hardest part is to keep going. I’m

least satisfied with the fact that I struggled so much in my way of trying to see something it

made it harder for me to work outside of the box. If I were to ever do this again I would probably

pick a different questions, but I’m glad I picked this one. I feel like if I could do one thing different

it would just to be more calm and not be to hard on myself.

I have also included a literature review my goal for this assignment was to give brief

details of my research essay. To summarize a little of what I would mention in my essay. I

provided evidence in the review by including my research of my work cited pages. I was able to

gain information on learning how to do my own research to prove my points. I’m mostly proud

again with just completing this assignment after a second time. The fact I can motive myself to

keep going is what makes me proud of myself and my work. I’m least satisfied in the fact that

the first draft I was so random. When I reread my first review I feel like it was not the best I could
do. If I had a chance to redo this I would have done it better the first time. I would ask more

questions.

Another writing that was included were both of my visual text papers. My goals for this

assignment was to be able to identify the meaning behind the commercials and videos. The

evidence I feel like I was me being able to describe who the audiences were and what the

videos were trying to say. The insights I was able to gain was how to be able to read what a

commercial or video is saying by the pictures. Also, being able to see what audiences the

videos or commercial were trying to reach. I’m proud I did this with much success. I have never

done anything like this before and anything new makes me nervous. The fact that I was able to

complete this task made me super proud. I was the least satisfied in the fact that I missed a few

key points. If I were able to do this again I don’t think I would change much I feel like my

understanding was very positive.

Further more my last writing was a narrative that is so close to my heart. This piece has

so much mean meaning and had a more creative feel for me. My goal was to create a story that

was close to my heart something that was true. I feel like this piece is translated to the evidence

of how my life was growing up and how it made me the person I am today. My insights I gained

from this writing is how strong I am and how important it is to never give up. I’m honestly so

proud of this whole piece because it just gives me so much joy. There is not one thing I would

change about this paper. It inspires me to write more about things I love.
