My Reflection on Communication

I have always prided myself on my writing and presentation skills. After four years at

The Greene School, I can confidently say that those skills have been greatly improved through

the numerous essays and presentations that we have completed.

In ninth grade, we were tasked with writing a paper for the final product for the “Energy

of a Revolution” expedition. I chose to write mine on Russia’s use of energy exports as a foreign

policy tool. For this piece, I received a four. However, it did not just come to me as if in a dream.

It was a long and arduous process, requiring research gathering, outlines, and multiple drafts.

However, as I said before, the result was an exemplary piece of work.

The skills I gained in ninth grade allowed me to continue the pattern of exemplary work

throughout my time here at The Greene School. A second example of this can be seen in the

work from my Creative Writing class. During the first semester, we focused on fictional stories

and poetry, some of which I have here. In particular, the first-person narrative section gave me

the opportunity to showcase my writing skills. The use of descriptive writing and the overall tone

of the piece emphasizes the progress I have made in the area of fictional writing.

I plan to double-major in history and economics at college. Both of these courses,

especially history, require people to be proficient in communication, both orally and through

writing. With the skills I have gained at TGS, I am confident that I will excel in the areas of

study that I have chosen to pursue.
