English 1010 Introduction to Writing
This is my Issue Exlporation paper. This was the final project in my English 1010 class. We were to research a topic of our choice and write about it. I chose to write about steroids in sports. I loved doing the research for this paper and really learned a lot. |

Final Reflection
My Issue Exploration paper was definitely a project for me. I loved doing all the research
for my topic, steroids in sports; I learned a lot that I didn’t know. I didn’t realize how wide
spread the problem was among high school and college athletes. You always hear
about steroids being a problem in professional sports, but it turns about they’re a
problem for sports in general.
Getting my thoughts down on paper is where I have always struggled, but once I got
started everything kind of flowed. I attribute that to my English 1010 class. I have
learned so much over the semester. We learned about all parts of the writing process.
Everything from researching a topic, to organizing and outlining our research. How to
write a paper in MLA format and how to write an annotated bibliography. These are
skills that I will be able to use through the rest of my college experience and into my
career.
In learning all these things I feel like it has helped me communicate more effectively.
Getting my thoughts organized and down on paper has always been a problem, but this
class has helped me with that and I feel like I have really progressed in my writing and
the whole composing process. I have also learned more about thinking more critically
about things and how to use rhetorical strategies to appeal to peoples ethos, pathos
and logos in my writing.
I am really happy with my final project and I know it’s because of the things I have
learned in my English 1010 class
