Writing Center Reflection
When I went to the writing center me and my writing partner worked on revising my draft. The first thing he told me to do was read it aloud to him. This was to see if there were any mistakes in my draft and it was for him to give me advice on how to improve it. He gave me some advice on my first body paragraph. We also looked over my conclusion.
The advice that my writing partner gave me was helpful, but it wasn't much. The session didn't last as long as I that it was going to be. This is because he didn't give much advice. I feel like I didn't make as much progress as I expected from going to the writing center.

Student Prompt
Describe the most memorable moment that has happened in your life so far and why it is memorable.
The most memorable moment of my life so far happened not too long ago over the summer of 2016. This was when I went to Alaska with my family. Everything in Alaska was very beautiful, especially the mountains. The climate was the complete opposite of Louisiana, because it was cool and dry while Louisiana's climate was hot and humid over the summer. It also rain a lot in Alaska, but whenever it rained it didn't rain hard.
Alaska was so memorable by to me because it was my first time going there and I got to experience many new things. One of my favorite memories was feeling hot and humid weather in Louisiana and then feeling the cool and dry weather of Alaska once I got off the plane. Another memory was a wild fire we saw on our way to the lodge we were staying at. This was the first time I have ever seen a wildfire. During this trip I was able to get closer to my family since my dad is working all the time and I was able to experience new things with them.

The pineapple that I am staring at keeps making me think about what is on the inside. Pineapple is one of my favorite fruits. I can't stop thinking about the delicious taste it has. Usually when I bite into a piece of pineapple, there is a lot of water which makes the pineapple juicy.
This pineapple is mostly green with many shades of yellow on it. Like every other pineapple it has the spiny leaves that come out of the top of the pineapple. I have always wondered about the spiny leaves on pineapples. What is the point of those leaves?
Literary Analysis
The easiest part so far on the draft was making the introduction. Although, it took me a while to figure out how to start the introduction. Once I got the first sentence, I was able to find more ideas that led into my thesis. One thing that helped me make my introduction was looking at other examples of introductions. The examples were all similar in how they were set up, so that gave an idea of how I should set up my introduction.
Even though I have not gotten to my conclusion yet, I feel like that it will be the hardest part of the draft. I have actually read an essay to see what the conclusions is like. Similarly to my introduction I need to see how the conclusion is set up, so that I have an idea for how to set up mine. For those who are struggling with their conclusion or introduction I would recommend reading some examples of them. Even though I haven't gotten to my conclusion yet, I believe that it will help me, because it definitely helped me with my introduction.
