Welcome to SFReflects, a space dedicated to sharing reflections on the journey of writing, particularly within the realm of English Composition 1. Here, you'll find insights, tips, and personal stories aimed at inspiring and motivating fellow students.

My story

I'm a 31-year-old working mom to a 4-year-old and a 2-year-old, juggling full-time work with a full course load. This blog is born out of my experiences navigating the challenges of academic writing amidst the chaos of daily life. My goal is to show that if I can do it, anyone can!

Key takeaways from English Comp 1

One of the most important lessons I learned in English Comp 1 is that proofreading pays off immensely. Taking the time to carefully review and edit your work can make a significant difference in the quality of your writing. Another crucial skill is time management, especially when facing a large paper deadline. Planning ahead and breaking down the task into smaller, manageable steps is key to success.

Relatable experiences

My experiences are unique because I'm navigating the academic world while balancing the responsibilities of motherhood and a full-time job. However, I believe my reflections will resonate with many students who are juggling multiple commitments and striving to succeed. This blog is for anyone who needs a little encouragement and practical advice on how to navigate the challenges of academic writing.
