A Career As A Writer

I started writing fiction in elementary school, and never looked back. Tucked away among old report cards and craft projects, my mother still has the multicolored notebook containing my first short story, written when I was in first grade. (It's a treat. I may share it here at some point.) So, when I say that writing in ingrained in me, that it's part of who I am, I mean it.

Throughout this course, I was able to assess and evaluate my weaknesses and strengths in writing. This class has truly brought out my ability to write, a skill I did not believe I had. I now know what it takes to become a college-level writer. Also, at the beginning of the course I did not particularly enjoy writing. Now, however, I have a greater respect for

Moreover, I consider homework assignments and activities in this course to be helpful. They have enhanced my writing skills, as I know how to write a story, a scenario, and how to support my argument. Frankly speaking, English writing must be my weakest point. However, due to our professor, all instructions were given in a precise manner and I could understand all tasks.

I would like to be a Writing Assistant for the fall quarter of 2016 to first and foremost improve the condition of students who are struggling in their writing and reinforce their abilities of composing effective, college-level papers. Fresh out of the Oakes 80C/D Core class, I have witnessed areas where improvement on behalf of writing assistants is necessary to improve the quality of writing assistant meetings. Being a first-year Oakes Core student, I can readily relate and advise incoming freshman students who are struggling with similar writing problems that I encountered and reinforce their understanding accordingly. As a sophomore writing assistant, I can provide students with more effective guidance about readings as well as the concepts

As I started doing this course , I began to enjoy little bit. I am a very practical, who likes to see things and learn by doing. By writing different topics it helped me to develop my creative abilities. In a way, the course has made me a deeper thinker than I used to be. I also look into grammar when I read.

The first way this course has helped me is by introducing me to annotating article which I know will be helpful for me in Comp II in helping me formulate my research papers and in turn achieving my Comp II goals. The second way I believe this course has helped me and will be useful to me in other courses is by showing me how to organize my paper in a logical manner and be more mentally creative when describing a situation or event. The last way I believe this course has helped me is by teaching me how to be more descriptive, how to focus on details and how to transition smoothly when writing, which is something that I believe will be useful in any class when writing any paper not just in English. These particular skills were most useful in helping me write my Film Review, “ The American Dream.” “The seamless storyline wouldn't be anything if it wasn’t complemented by the sensational acting done mostly by Chris and his son Christopher. To be more specific, the scene where Chris was shown crying on the bathroom floor after his son Christopher went to sleep, due to his confound embarrassment of him not being able to provide proper shelter for his son.” In just these two simple sentence I show my abilities of how to connect one idea to the next and still have it flow smoothly while at the same time I am showing my abilities of how I was focused on the detail of the movie and yet still very descriptive while explaining it, which is why this is my favorite

Students may feel too overwhelmed with college work at times, so they try to cut coners by plagiarizing to save time. Students often feel like they do not have the time to do the things they love, and still manage to keep a passing grade. Most students feel very anxious when they think about starting a research paper, or writing an essay. They do not understand that all it takes is a little practice to perfect this skill and make writing easier.Expirenced writers can maintaine a calm composure when writing because they have learned how to mange their time well by learning for mistakes. Taking the time to learn and practice writing will greatly reduce the chances of plagiarism.

In addition, the writing experience at the end of the course will help you with persuasive speaking in front of an audience. To get you started, the activities and assignments will ease you into thinking about the argument, and help you consider what direction your paper might take. This knowledge will give you reasons to persuade your audience and to support your argument. In summation, you will know how to define your topic, thesis/claim, and purpose of your

My career goal is to be a successful fiction author and to publish over two full series. I’ve chosen this career because I’ve already started writing and I love it. I think that I’d be good at writing because I’m really creative and I love to read, then scribble down whatever pops into my head. I’m always in the middle of writing something and my finger hitting the computer keys is not an uncommon sound. This makes me assume that I’d be good at writing as a career.

My post secondary goal after high school is to go to the Vet Tech Institute of Pittsburgh to become a veterinarian technician within a span of eighteen months. I am hoping this Honors English course will help to improve my writing skills, note taking skills, and get me use to the type of things I will experience in college. If I were to improve as a writer it would benefit me by improving my ability to do lab write-ups. If I incorporate my grammar skills into my vocabulary it will also benefit me in seeming to be a more intelligent young adult, which will hopefully cause the teachers to take me more seriously. By becoming a better writer I could become a better student altogether. Becoming a better note taker is a skill I really hope I adapt

It also shows me how to write a good literary work and how hard it is. I used to think that writing was the easiest thing ever; just throw some words in a paper and it’s done, but in reality, writing is a process where I have to take my time, sometimes read the instructions more than once, and I have to decide where I stand according to my topic, so I can have a good argument for why I believe that is right. Finally, this class will be beneficial not only in my academic life but also in my professional. Now that I have the skills to write a paper my future classes will be easier when I have to write a report or those type of assignments. On the other hand, this class will impact my professional life, by helping to write property so people will be confident about my knowledge and

I am much more of a creative writer and enjoy focusing on the content and not necessarily the process of writing. This course has given me insight into developing more of an understanding of the process of technical writing, and that focusing on these processes can help my overall writing skills. I believe that major breakthrough in my development as a technical writer in the area of visuals. Again, I have always been a person of content that text and oral explanation are relatively enough. This course has taught me that visual explanation can add major clarification when explaining complex information to audiences, and since the audience is who are expose to be focusing on then the ultimate goal is that they

I’ve always loved art. Whether it was displayed in a museum, on television, or even on the side of a building, I’ve had a constant appreciation of art. Although, as much as I love observing art, I do have my own aspiration to create. Unfortunately, I’ve never had the steady hand to paint or draw. I haven’t had the training or experience to be a musician. As for possible being an actor, I’d rather not be the center of attention around strangers.

You are wondering what makes me a dazzling writer, but I would like to think that my writings are close to average. It is not that I don’t enjoy writing, but my pieces have never had that “WOW,” factor I would like them to have. I enjoy writing because my mind is constantly running, so it helps slow it down. I’ve always learned to make sure you have an interesting start and finish to a paper, but I cannot find a hook sentence that will draw readers in. I tend to stick with the basics of writing what you will be explaining in the future writing. That is not enjoyable for the audience or the author. I see myself writing for enjoyment and for upcoming assignments in the future. I did not get a chance to do much writing over this previous summer

My impression about writing before taking this course were that I will like it. Because I like to write even though I am an English as Second Language learner (ESL). I have always a desire to write a good paper. I know, it does need skill and not easy. Then, I learned from this course Rhetorical Appeals. I learned that ethos, pathos and logos are important in identifying the writer’s speech.
