Reflection on Final
                                                                            Reflection
            Out of all the papers we wrote this semester I have to say that the most difficult was this final 

research paper. It was difficult because there were a lot of sources that needed to be incorporated and 

they were different kind of sources. In my research paper I had the most difficulty finding a video 

that would be able to support my claims. Another issue I ran into was thoroughly comparing two 

sources and having a conversation between the two. For this reason I tried to synthesis my 

counterclaim and compare two sources in order to prove my stance. This assignment required the use 

of 8 sources and the good part was that I was able to find three journal articles.

            The research paper was a great assignment because I believe it tested my skills as a writer 

and a scientist. Although I faced some challenges in completing the assignment, I enjoyed the 

challenge because I acquired new skills and really tried to get my point across. I also enjoyed 

conducting an interview and incorporating into the research paper.

Journal #6

Esmeralda Santa English 21003, Section M Professor  Matyakubova 18 September 2017 Journal #6                                                            A Second Chance for the Convicted             In both Michelle Jonas and Stanley Andrisse cases, they face difficulties continuing their  education after they are released from prison. The difficulties they face are unfair and unjust for a set  of people who want to change their lives for the better. The criminal justice system needs to help  people like them because they proved themselves to want to do better and actually make a  contribution to society. The system should help them by providing career programs in the prison, so  they can be well prepared once they leave the prison. Besides thi...

Journal #9

Esmeralda Santa Ms. Nargiza Matyakuboya English 21003, Section M 20 November 2017 Journal Entry #9                                                 Six Myths About Choosing a College Major           An interesting New York Times article I read was called “Six Myths About Choosing a  College Major”. This article opened my eyes to the big mistakes many upcoming college students or  undergraduate students are making when it comes to choosing their major. Also the article discusses  the myths that many upcoming upcoming college students believe as they are about to enter school.  The myth that surprised me the most  was “choice of major matters more than choice of  college”( nytimes.com ). This myth can be related to myself because I also focused more on choosing  my major than ...
