Below are links to a few academic essays I wrote this year that exemplified my writing and thinking skills.
1. Descriptive Essay Final Draft – Liliana Hess
2. Narrative Essay Final – Liliana Hess (1)
3. LAR – Reflection Essay 2 (1)
I chose these three pieces because they all impacted my lives in a way. Not exactly writing the essays, but the subjects in the essays; what I was writing about basically. The topics I wrote about in the last two essays helped shape me into who I am today and is why I am where I am.
The first two essays I wrote in English class. The first one is a descriptive essay. The purpose was to write about a person, place, or thing, and to capture a moment suspended in time using sensory details. And to show, rather than tell.
The second is a narrative essay, where I had to write a good story with a dramatic climax, using chronological order and tension. And to practice using setting, plot, and complication to build interest.
The third essay was a Reflection Essay I wrote for my liberal arts class. I had to take several self assessments and look at my strengths and weaknesses and the results to see what I can do to improve my career path for my future.
