Changes according to Ms Misty's comments

1) "At the moment" refers to now and ongoing. It is incorrect for me to use "at the moment" in this sentence of my reflective writing as it should be used along present continuous tense.

eg. I am being taken aback at the moment.

"At that moment" refers to the period belonging to the past. Thus, I should be using " at that moment" instead.


2) It should be "did" because the context is in the past tense. " I told myself..." shows that the action of telling myself has happened in the past


3) My 2nd part of the sentence did not show any direct relationship with the 1st part.

edited: " As consultation meetings with her became more frequent, I had to improve my work ethic so as to make full use of the time slots."


4) "she gave me" has already indicated that the "life lessons" was from her. The article "the" is used to refer to something that has already been mentioned or that we have knowledge of, even if it has not been mentioned before.

I should be writing either

1) will always be reminded of the life lessons she gave me
2) will always be reminded of her life lessons
