Challenge Of Writing In School

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 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.

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.

Mental health problems are a growing concern within the Indian American communities in the United States. First generation born Indian Americans are experiencing mental health concerns far greater than the generation before them. What are the causes of this rise in mental health issues? Mental health issues are not foreign to any ethnic or racial group. Mental health concerns can and do affect individuals across are all social, socio-economic, racial and ethnic divides (“Suicide Facts at a Glance,” 2015). The concern in the with mental health concerns in the Indian community is that Indian Americans have the lowest rate of utilizing mental health service in the United States (“NCBI,” 2015) This paper will discuss the statistics of mental health problems/disorders, the reasons why Indian Americans are less likely to use resources and what can be done to address the issue within the community.

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.

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

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.

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.

Parents would like nothing but to see their child grow up healthy. In 1979, smallpox, a disease that killed 300 million people in the 20th century alone, was, declared eradicated from the planet. Through a worldwide vaccination effort, one of the deadliest diseases to ravage mankind was eliminated from the face of the earth. In addition, the infection rates of other diseases, such as polio and measles, has dropped significantly in many first world countries due to vaccination campaigns. However, in 1988, a paper published by The Lancet, a medical journal based in the United Kingdom, claimed that the MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) vaccine caused developmental problems in children. While it did not claim much attention in its early years, by the early 2000s, it appeared to include all vaccines and quickly grabbed the attention of the public. As a result, vaccination rates have dropped significantly over the past decade, especially for children. Because of this drop, the prevalence of many childhood diseases are nearing pre-vaccine levels. While the decline in vaccination rates is currently not a major issue, it could quickly grow if it is left

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.

As I began working on this essay, my first step was to google charter school news articles. One of the first two articles that I came across was from a well known conservative news source. The other was published in a prominent outlet for liberal news. I was amazed at the polar opposite views that the two sources had on the subject and decided to see if this dichotomy continued in other news outlets as well. I then looked up a ranking of various news sources as liberal or conservative. I visited websites with varying political views and read articles that they had composed about charter schools and their effects.

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.

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.

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.
