Final Reflection

  I think my writing abilities grew through this semester thanks to ENG 201. Even though it was difficult at the beginning because I was working during the 4 workshops, I did the best to complete them. they help me a lot on how to write and cited my work, this was something I couldn't do at the beginning of the semester. Mainly because I came back after 8 years of being away from college. As you all know, I am not a very good English speaker, but, I tried my best when participating in this, or other classes. Before, john jay I did a speech at another college, I have to thank the professor at that time.  However, now I have to say a big thank you to my English professor because she made a very interesting and comprehensive class this semester. On the other hand, my abilities in research are greater than they were before. From the Memo paper to the research paper, all of them help me and push me to be better at getting as much information as possible. Thank you English...

Even though you will not find many GMO fruits or vegetables in the produce section of your grocery store, GMOs are a common part of today’s food supply.       ...
