Reflective Essay: Knowledge Plus Experience Plus Skills

When you wake up in the morning you go to the bathroom and see a reflection in the mirror. Sometimes you like, sometimes you do not like the reflection. This reflection is you. The mirror reflects your image. In spite of your mood and condition the mirror is sure to show the reflection.

A reflective essay is another way to reflect your image taking into consideration your inner world. I do not mean your musical talents and literary gifts. What I mean is the experience, knowledge and skills. Thereby, a reflective essay is a chance to show your knowledge without taking part in any oral disputes or competitions. A reflective essay gives every student a chance to show what you can.

Moreover, it is possible to write a good reflective essay without stating your personal point of view. You can easily introduce your skills on the subject without making everyone aware of your displeasure or excitement about the topic for discussion. Any reflective essay can present as emotionally colored description of what one knows as the bare listing of facts on the subject. Meanwhile, it is more preferable that a reflective essay should be bright, interesting, and exciting. A reflective essay should illustrate your knowledge which cannot be bare.

The structure of the reflective essay remains the same:

1. Title page.
2. Text.

• Introduction.
• Discussion.
• Conclusion.

3. Reference list.

It is necessary to mention that the first paragraph of the reflective essay should contain introduction, a thesis statement and the basic points for discussion. Every paragraph should start with a topic sentence. Furthermore, the ideas must be clear and understandable to the readers. Reveal your skills! Show what you know! Be original and bright!
