Answer 7

I guess not.

Answer 8

Answer 9

500 words minimum?

I can normally do reflective essays very well, but that's because I know me very well.

From what it's asking I think the only people who could help you are either your classmates or someone who knows your writing style very well.

Here's some advice:

- Look at all your previous papers.
- Write out what you think you know about your past writing
- Get a second opinion on your writing
