Mar 2 Prompt: Reflect on your experiences with essay writing. What aspects of writing essays do you find most engaging or challenging? Discuss your personal strengths as a writer as well as specific areas where you experience difficulty or would like to improve. Support your reflection with clear examples from your own writing experiences.

 Prompt Response:  From my experiences in writing essays the part I find most engaging is when ideas just come to your head and you write constantly. The parts in writing essays I am good at is coming up with ideas as I write but the parts I need work on is being able to word them to write them down the ideas I have in my head. An example of this is when I was writing a essay about a book in 11th grade literature I had the ideas in my head but couldn''t come up with ways to write it down so my grade didn't come how I Wanted it to.
