Idea Draft #2
I have decided to analyze the picture of Williams holding her diploma on page 92. Something that stood out to me was that she graduated from Harvard which is a really good school and had received help from other people. Before that she had been moving around a lot and who grew up homeless in California with her younger sister and her mom. She had known that she was smart and knew that education would help her set her free from poverty.
P.W. 9/26
What photo do you plan to analyze from the book A Path Appears? What, if any, are your personal connections to the photo?
- I still don't know what photo I plan to analyze. I am looking at the photo where there are children in programs so that they are being read to from an early age. I am also looking at the photo where Khadijah Williams is holding her Harvard diploma and she received support from mentors and others. I too had mentors throughout high school because they were the ones that have helped me the most for not only in school but also any issues I had at home.

9/19 Essay #1 Reflection
How was your first essay for a College Writing class? What did you enjoy about this essay or the activities leading up to it? What was challenging? How was the process of sharing your personal experiences in an academic genre?
- My first essay for this class I think was good overall. I liked that we can make this essay into our own and that we can be able to include our own experiences and connections with the readings and/or the authors. Something that was challenging for me was trying to write about earlier experiences because it was so long ago. Writing about my personal experiences in an academic class was alright because I had to remember some of those experiences and how they relate to what I was trying to say in my essay.

Dear Group,
My intentions for this draft were to make connections with the author. I would like for you guys to let me know if what I wrote made sense in a way and how I can actually break it down because I kind of wrote it in general kind of but not really. I think I would also need to write a little more about connections with the author. And the author that I was trying to make connections with were Amy Tan.

Idea Draft
- independence
- motivation
- perserverance
- discrimination
From the 3 readings, I felt more connected to Amy Tan. I felt like I could relate to her more because my mom is like her mom. Others may not understand her sometimes while I do. And because she will also make me translate for her. I also could relate to how the way I speak in school may not be the same as I use at home

Which of the 3 authors for today did you enjoy reading most? Why? Any personal connections?
1. From the 3 authors, the author that I enjoyed reading the most was by Amy Tan. I really liked the reading because I can also relate to what she was talking about. My parents are also people to which I may understand what they are trying to say while others don't, so while I was reading I was relating to most of what she was talking about - especially when she said that Mrs. Tan would want her to translate what she wanted to say to others.
