Some things that I learned from the reflective writing video is that it is not just about looking at the past. You can look at how you will progress to make your writing better in the future and what you can change about your writing to make it better. Also when you are looking at the past don’t just look at one small event or one writing piece, look at many different pieces that all add up to where you are.
Reflection is important in becoming a better writer and student because you can learn from your mistakes and figure out what you need to do to make yourself better. It will also help to build your self confidence in the end when you start growing.
Reflection is a good thing outside of the class because you need to learn how to reflect on your past actions to better yourself and challenge yourself, but ultimatley to find out what you need to work on in your life or what you are doing well.
