Becoming A Better Writer

Upon entering Columbia College, writing was one of my weaker areas. It was very important that I gained the necessary knowledge and confidence to become a better writer. I didn’t know how to express myself and felt as though my writing was not my interest. As a result of taking English 101, I have gained a better understanding on how to properly research and build a satisfactory paper. Every paper that was assigned seemed like a struggle to complete. Before entering this class, I did not know the meaning of a thesis or why it was important, however, I obtained this skill quickly. I noticed that every paper has an argument and the thesis helps clarify the rebuttal. Now, I have a new outlook on writing. It’s a way to express my thoughts and allow others to see things through my eyes. There is no doubt that I still have a long way to go, but I know if I continue to write, I will get better. Just as I developed more skills in class, the various papers assigned helped to better structure the writer in me. In addition, the subject areas were not only interesting, but very informative and made it much easier to write about my experiences.

A semester has passed since I started college and my journey of becoming a better writer. It has been a very important semester for my future college career, and I would not be here without the things I have accomplished. The composition program has really helped me to prepare for what college writing is all about. Now standing here and looking back I could not imagine how it would be without that class. I believe my English, and my writing is better than it has ever been, and all thanks to the composition program.

From writing thoughtful poems to research papers, I have experienced composing a diverse portfolio of literary analysis and criticisms throughout the school year. I started out the year writing minimally. By the end of the year, I noticed I was able to express my ideas and thoughts in a more clear and concise way on paper. Ultimately, each composition allowed me to widen my horizons as a writer and see how I could improve as a writer.

It may be the easiest thing to say that becuase I am from Spain, I should not be by any means a better writer than an American born student writer. In many aspects of life, I shouldn't, but as least as I like to compare myself to others, I may say that throughout my four years of English learning my growth has been exponential. Becoming a well rounded writer is arduous to achieve, however every writer including high school writers, usually have some skills within writing that they are good at. In my personal case, knowing that I didn't start writing until I was fourteen years old, I would say that I am pretty good at writing entertaining compositions, and in occasions, if my grammar is correct as well as being no run-ons, my essays can even

I would hope this is not a dilemma many of us will face, especially since getting our graduate degree requires a lot of dedication. aPy takes time and developing a good writing habit also come along with time. As you alluded to writing a draft may be a good idea, this way you can have that first draft proofread for errors.

My entire life, reading and writing have always been my weaknesses. Coming from a Hispanic household, the way things are said and written does not usually translate the same way to English. As much as I have always tried to push myself and keep improving, I feel like I have reached a point where I need a small push and guidance to take my writing to the next level. From my high school, I learned a lot of writing technics and have some small grammar lectures every now and then. Writing my research papers, preparing speeches, and all the college essays have given me lots of practice with different writing styles and methods. Yet, I still have not found one that I feel the most confident in. This semester, I truly wish to improve the transitions

My main goal for the year was to improve my writing and I do believe I have accomplished that. I am especially proud of how my introduction and conclusion paragraphs have improved. I never knew where to begin with those, but now I feel much more confident when I sit down to write those parts of my essay. I also feel like I did improve on grammar, which is my weakest part of writing an essay. I still have a lot I can improve on in all aspects of my writing, but I am very thankful for this class and the feedback I have received on all my papers. I would like to wish the rest of you good luck on your finals and I hope you all have a great

How often do I spend time writing? I spend very little time writing because I lack interest in and would rather text or call when communicating with others. Personally, I probably write only a few times a week which consists of writing notes to my parents if need be. I make use of the technology in which I am given since it’s available and reliable for me to use rather than writing notes. Technology and texting has ruined my writing style and ability to write in a professional manner since I use slang and abbreviations almost every day. My plan and goal is to learn how to properly write at a college level by the end of this semester.

Fear struck through my body like lightning instantaneously as I entered the classroom. Luckily, there were barely any students present in the classroom when I appeared. Cautiously, I walked towards the front of the classroom and sat at one of the front desks. Of course, we did introductions and this was frightening to say the least. At first I thought the class would be boring, but I was wrong. Eventually when we received our chromebooks, I was able to test my writing ability. In effect, I soon discovered my poor writing skills and I was afraid of flunking that class.

To become a better writer, you must learn the importance of writing as communication. For this purpose, you must have a reason to write.
