Ever since I started Intermediate 2 English in S3, I have enjoyed doing reflective writing. I feel that it is a great way to reflect on past experiences and the affect they had on you. It allows you to evaluate how the experience has changed you as a person and how it helped other people. I feel that some people find reflective writing difficult because you have to evaluate yourself and it is your own personal thoughts. This makes everyone’s reflective writing completely different.

During 6th year, I did PDA in Youth work. Our final assessment was a reflective portfolio on activities that we conducted. Many people found the reflective part difficult while I was naturally able to write the essays. Through the reflective essays, I was able to see clearly what worked and what I would have done different.

Therefore, I feel that reflective writing is a vital part of the learning process. Through reflective writing, you are able to see what went well and how to improve. Nothing is ever perfect, so there is always things you can do to make the activity better.
