Entry 12: Learning Experience?

Think about writing your significant experience essay and answer these questions (as well as including any other thoughts you might have about the process):

• Why did you choose this particular experience? 
• What reflecting on this experience and then writing about it teach you about yourself?
• What did you learn about life in general?
• What were the easiest and most difficult aspects of writing this essay, as compared to other essays you have written? Think in terms of idea generation, organization, and mechanical issues, as well as any emotional or creative hurdles that you had to deal with. 
• What will you do differently next time you do a similar project (or any project)?

• The reason why I chose to write this significant experience is because this significant experience teaches me an important lesson in life, a lesson that everyone should learn if they want to be successful in the future. The experience tells me that I need to be responsible and I need to keep up the job of being responsible so I can succeed in school and when I take jobs. From this essay I learned that if I am not responsible and if I don't finish my tasks, people would not trust you, and then life will become hard in general because you are then on your own. The most easy aspect of writing this essay was that this essay is in a first person point of view, and I like writing in first person point of views, because I know my feelings quite well. At least better than any would be third person who might appear in my essay. The most difficult aspect when writing this essay is that I have to conquer the reluctance of telling the event because I am ashamed of the shame and the guilt. Complicated, yes? Anyways, for the last question, I do not know and I am not sure what I will do differently next time when I do a similar project because I need to compare this significant experience with another essay to be sure how I will change the essay myself.
