Challenge Of Writing In School

I learned a few interesting reasons regarding my overall feelings for writing. Up until now, I never examined why I disliked writing. Looking back at my past experiences with writing I now have a better understanding on what was holding me back. Self-confidence certainly played a large factor in my avoidance of writing. After writing the essay on my relationship with writing, I can use what I have learned from that exercise and apply it to my future writing adventures. I need to be more self-confident, and not worry about any judgments. I need to realize that I am able to express my thoughts through writing. This exercise gave me a very good perspective on my avoidance of writing and will help propel me to write more in the future.

Writing in high school was difficult for me in that I had all gifted/ AP teachers expecting an “extra mile” style of writing that I did not completely grasp. While my writing consisted of strong ideas, they were not thoroughly explained, leaving them under developed and mildly incomprehensible. I am a fast paced thinker with new ideas constantly popping into my head; consequently, elaborating on ideas is a challenge because I often forget that although I am aware of how I have drawn a conclusion, the reader is not.

My relationship with writing is hard, my writing doesn’t always flow well. My writing also doesn’t always come easily to me. More often than not, I have to sit and think for long periods of time, for to come up with ideas on how to start my essays. When I start with paper and pen my hand will start aching, and that makes it difficult to concentrate on what I am trying to express through my writing as it takes my mind off what I am currently thinking of writing down. Writing is the course I have always struggled with the most throughout high school, and through my first year of college.

I’m going to be completely honest I do not enjoy writing at all, in my opinion I think it is very boring and tedious work but I have found that somehow I always do somewhat good on essays.

My attitude towards writing is very unfavorable. I just don’t enjoy it at all. It’s a very tedious task when you factor in all of the revision steps that it takes to produce a quality essay. Writing requires a long amount of time spent planning and preparing that is not for impatient people like myself. However, I believe that with a little bit of some confidence and patience, I could learn to enjoy myself when I write. I think it’s a great outlet for some but just hasn’t ever really been something that made me feel relaxed or stress-free. Writing just clouds my head with confusion and anxiety. I guess I can blame this on the fact that all my previous experiences writing has been academic and in a time-restricted environment. However, I am excited to see how my impression of writing changes throughout my college career now that I am not confined to a forty-minute window.

Writing isn’t for everyone, yet the number of people writing in this exact moment is pretty monstrous if you google it. Writing has basically been there for me since I was born, it was there when they wrote my birth certificate, when i was learning how to write my name, when i wrote my first essay, taking the STAAR tests, practicing for the AP test, to my first writing assignment for college. People are gifted with creating such rich, breathtaking, emotional, and deep work that last for generations and generations (not me), but writing has not always been a friend to me. The process of writing is not just write and your done, no you need to take time and let your ideas gush out (duh you already knew that) but also to edit and revise to make those final drafts. Writing can be a huge pain in the buttocks (ass), but it isn 't that bad. Here are some of my issues and strengths about writing and my take on it.

Do you struggle when it comes time to sit down and write? Though I consider myself a writer, I still have trouble from time to time making myself sit down and write. This is much easier when I have a real deadline. I'm great in a time crunch, which is why NaNoWriMo works so well for me. I'm also competitive, so Camp NaNoWriMo is even more

My experience with writing has been very up and down because I have a hard time focusing on the topic. I would say that’s something I need to honestly work on because my attitude is if I'm not into it then I'm not doing it simple. Some of my past teachers in high school said that I could write but I honestly don’t know about now. I'll admit that I've gotten lazy in the sense that if I'm not into the work then I'll just pass it with a D or just retake it. I need to get out of that and just suck it up and get it over and done with.

Michael’s understanding of this genre is very clear. He wires his statements in complete sentences and with a variety of words. He uses evidence from the text to support his claims.

Should writting in cursive be part of a school's curriculum? I think that cursive writing does help a student be more knowlegable to other type of writing, it also can exercise their brain, and can help them remember what they've wote. I do think cursive writting is very important to teach in schools and shouldn't vanish from their education. I know we live in a different world where all we use is technology. We need to teach our kids what we once were taught in school.

Writing on the other hand is not my favorite thing in the whole world. I find writing difficult, and I mean that I have a hard time putting the words in my head onto paper. This is the hardest essay for me because I am not good at telling stories. I have always found it easier to write something on a topic such as a research paper or an argumentative essay, but I also was not encouraged to write until high school in Mrs. Wansley’s AP English class. She is the one that taught me everything I know about grammar and essays. Mrs. Wansley was very passionate about crossfit, literature, and Sylvia Plath, and she is actually one of

Writing is an essential way of communicating, what one has to convey. It is also a process, great writing doesn't happen over night, it takes practice. Writing for a grade is not an easy assignment, there are some highs, some lows, and even some peaks. Writing in college is a challenge. The medium plays an important role in the way we write and express our thoughts.

I am no writer. I don’t have connections to assemble or a creative imagination to share. What I do have are opinions to voice and arguments to present: but these, too, I must learn to communicate through writing. In the past, I have only ever written required assignments for school, and I struggled with them: I continue to struggle with writing today. After reading Dillard’s two essays, I learned more specifically that I struggle with beginning a piece of writing, writing clearly, and analyzing or revising what I’ve written.

For as long as I can remember I have had a strong dislike for writing. It is not something I enjoy doing because I feel as if school sucks the fun out of it. Writing, in my opinion, is something that should be stress free. Writing becomes more stressful because of deadlines and guidelines that your grade or job may depends on. Over the years I have learned about my good and bad writing practices, tips to be a better writer, misconceptions of rules of writing and how they are all tied into effective time and time wasted.

I can honestly say that I neither like, nor dislike, writing. I have always had a hard time writing a paper it’s hard for me to come up with things to put in them I feel like I may ramble on. I have written a lot of letters just about every day activities to my dad (he was away for a while) I have written poems about feelings, letters to a boyfriend, lyrics to songs, grocery lists, when I was younger I loved writing little notes to my mom and sister and I could go on and on about different things that I wrote. I actually love writing but I don’t like structured writing I rather write a letter about how I feel or a letter to someone than a structured essay. I find it difficult to set it in the right format that the teacher wants. I feel this way because my senior year in high school our English teacher just gave us a rubric and topic and told us to write I was lost and didn’t understand what was being asked of me but this event has taught me I always need to make sure I understand what my teacher expects from me on a writing assignment.
