SELF REFLECTION

Thanks to Allah because I have successfully completed this task given in English
Language Proficiency 2 subject (WAJ 3031). Coming into English was something that I was very
much afraid of. In high school English class never served as my strong point and I found myself
constantly frustrated and confused as to why I never got the grade I felt I deserved. I would write
essays to get it over with, using other peoples thoughts and ideas to support my seemingly less
important thoughts and ideas about the subject. I never felt truly connected with any piece that I
was asked to write and it showed, so coming into college being forced to do it all over again was
definitely something I feared and something I wanted to get over with, but now I find myself
enjoying writing.

I have always written freely or on my own, but I find myself now able to sit down and
enjoy writing an essay again. I enjoy the process of coming up with my own ideas and concepts
and trying to make an argument for my reader so they can also take my side in that argument.
With this class, I have learned to enjoy writing again. I have made it a point to communicate my
own thoughts and feelings opposed to simply summarizing the thoughts of famous writers and
authors before me. This class has built up my confidence in my own writing and for that I am
highly appreciative.

Not only have I learned to enjoy my own writing again, but I have grown as a writer in
many ways. My to-do list started off as an endless concept, one that I thought was full of ideas
that would be able to make me a perfect writer, something I didnt think was very possible, but I
have come very far from where I ended last year in high school. One of the main issues I
needed to tackle in college was to stop being repetitive; I needed to learn to narrow down my
thoughts and ideas. This is something that now I can do with ease. I have learned to compost
ideas, writing freely structured outlines to get the thought process going, something that saves
me a lot of time when I am constructing my full drafts.

This year, I have learned to use my own voice to communicate my ideas. I have learned
to utilize outside sources in a way where they simply keep the flow of my paper, and are not the
main focus. I have also stopped jumping around throughout my papers. I now stick with one
point and after a thorough discussion on it; I am able to move on to the next concept, without
constantly bringing in old ideas and things that I stated earlier on in the paper. Throughout this
semester I find myself getting better and better with each paper and truly demonstrating that I
have learned and I have grown, and I hope to continue this growth throughout my time here at
IPG Kampus Perlis.

I believe IPG Kampus Perlis can truly mold me into the writer I have always wanted to
be, within the classroom. Throughout my many semesters left here at IPG, I really want to
concentrate on writing more and more, getting better with each semester one at a time. I have a
lot of tiny things that I would like to work out of my writing before I get to the level I ultimately
would like to be at when I graduate. I still would like to learn to do better with my punctuation
and my talking in the same tense throughout the entirety of each of my papers, as well as, some
other aspects of my writing; however, I feel I have made tremendous strides since the beginning
of the year.

I want to leave IPGKP going into the world as a successful, confident writer, one that has
fulfilled the goals on my to-do list and is ready to write in the real world. This has been a very
powerful semester for me as I have gained a lot more confidence in my writing, and truly do
believe that each essay I type will make a difference in how people think and feel about certain
subjects. I feel strongly that I will continue to improve over the years and I truly look forward to
making this transition. Thanks to Encik Abdul Wahab Bin Sulaiman because he helped me a lot
during the completion of task given. Without him, I will not be able to complete the task.
