When I finished writing this essay, it was the first time I felt that I had written an essay of college quality in my entire first year of college here at CCNY. It was difficult for me to complete the assignment because the prompt was really vague. I had to have full belief on what I thought was the right way to do the assignment and it paid off. Using the CCNY Library was an interesting part of the assignment because I was able to use articles that normally would be blocked to back up claims I made. I made the claim that your ability to use language to be able to convey your ideas to others decides how people perceive you and backed it up with research articles on children’s experiences with stutters, a video about someone’s struggles with accents and stutters, a story about a girl’s mother using broken english, and many other pieces of evidence and was able to treat them as equally valid. This essay was also the first time in a while that I had to create a bibliography so it was good practice for the future where it will be common to include them.
