The purpose of this portfolio is to showcase the growth I have made this past Spring semester as a writer. This website showcases three essays I wrote in my time in the English 101 course. The essay in my portfolio is an argumentative essay. This portfolio gave me the opportunity to revise, and edit my essays in order to improve its quality. It was also an opportunity to show my potential as a writer.
About Me
My name is Arely Alvarez. I am a Psychobiology major at Los Angeles Valley College. I am in my second semester of my first year of college, and I made the hard decision of not going to University of California, Davis. During my first weeks at LAVC, I struggled to find myself and struggled to feel like I somewhat fit in. To my luck a found a program called Puente. After becoming part of the program I found opportunity that I thought I would not find in college. Thanks to my professor, our in class tutor, and visits to the Writing Center, I grew as a writer and as a student. In class we read about social topics and novels. Having taken English 101 course has taught me how to be a better writer and have more confidence in myself. I will take the tools that I have learned in this course to future english courses that I will take.
