Self-Reflection

My final essay involved arguing toward fighting mental health stigma as mental health

stigma is proven to be a detriment to those with mental health disorders. With this in mind, I

hope that more awareness is brought forth regarding mental health stigma and I hope that this

essay works in lowering mental health stigma everywhere.

There were many revisions that I took including fixing grammar and reshuffling sources

to make the argument more consistent and easier to follow.

Regarding peer reviews, I always tried to put my complete honest opinions and make

them as understandable as possible. I tried to make sure there was positive feedback alongside

constructive criticism. With relation to other General Education courses that I’ve taken, this

assignment required me to utilize the scientific method and use the knowledge I had from this

class and English 1010 to correctly format an MLA paper and implement sources correctly.

The research I conducted taught me a lot about mental health that I hadn’t previously

understood. I feel much more confident discussing mental health and mental health stigma than I

felt before I completed this paper. There was an assumption that mental health stigma would just

phase out through the next generations but after putting more research into this topic, that

assumption was proven wrong and proved that the severity of this argument was much higher

than I previously anticipated. I consider myself as an effective writer who can write unbiasedly

and critically on subjects that I have strong feelings on or subjects that I have no opinions

toward. My paper does fulfill the quota required for the essay and makes a strong argument while

also debunking counterarguments. It could be improved with more sources and more explanation

throughout some parts of the essay but I feel it could fulfill an “A” grade.
