Writing Center Reflection

When I first arrived at the Writing Center I felt help on my literary analysis was much needed. My Writing Center appointment was on a Thursday at 1:00pm and my Writing Center helper was Alyssa Macaluso. I would like to comment that Alyssa was very kind, she also gave me plenty of feedback necessary for my literary analysis. She went the extra step to identify a very important connection to my literary analysis. We worked on making conclusion connected to philosophy in notes and adding context for Simon's symbolism as Christ.
     We also worked on simple grammatical errors that were easy to miss, but made my work lots more fluid. Alyssa helped me reword sentences that didn't make sense to the reader and gave suggestions on what to do.
My literary analysis felt stronger and I felt more confident with my rough draft.
Everyone at the writing center I encountered was very kind, open minded, organized, and quick to help. The Writing Center was a huge help.

Memorable Moment

By far the most memorable moment of my life is when I played a soccer match in Turkey for the first time. I finished the 6th grade and was looking forward to traveling overseas with my family. It was only four months ago when I gained an interest for soccer. I was not very confident in my ability of soccer, I was a reckless naïve player. When I arrived at the field there were only adults, so I was a little intimidated, but by their expressions I knew it was just for fun.
    The game finished with me scoring an unforgettable goal. I was elated to score a goal of that caliber, and the goal was a real confidence booster. This was very memorable for me as I reflect on the goal and the expressions of the other players in shock. That moment especially helps me before games when I feel nervous. That was my most memorable moment.

Over Thanksgiving break I didn't do much. I enjoyed the company of some Turkish family stopping by to say hello and spend some quality time with the family. I missed my Family from Turkey and it was a pleasure to revisit with them. Having some down-time over Thanksgiving break was great, I loved the freedom to finally wake up whenever I'd like to, I have to admit waking up late was a downside and it did bother me.
The Thanksgiving meal was great, typical Thanksgiving meal with a Turkish twist. Always before the meal lots of the family would gather to play a match of soccer and the winning team gets to self serve first. After the meal it was nice to get comfy and enjoy a movie together. The couch would usually be piled with blankets and pillows just to make the scene more comfortable. This is my typical Thanksgiving holiday.

I think I'm working comfortably with my literary analysis. My literary analysis has a strong arguable thesis, my rough draft has good introduction sentences that opens up my writing and gives context to the thesis. I believe my outline for my literary analysis has 7 strong points and fit well with my thesis. I'm working on my conclusion and using my English notes I feel I have a strong introduction. My rough draft arguments are strong to support my thesis.
On the other hand I feel I'm struggling with my transitions for each argumentative point. My conclusion closes my argument but I question whether or not I repeated or summarized. I also stated many words from my thesis to my context so I question if that was a good idea. Overall I feel I have a strong paper, but lots of tiny tweaks and changes can alter my paper to stronger one.
