Examples Of A Diagnostic Essay

At the age of five, I learned of my struggle concerning the topic of writing. In kindergarten, this wasn't too much of a problem (because of the lack of writing-based assignments). Once I got into first grade, where the level of difficulty increased, I learned that I was not a good writer. When I say I wasn't a good writer, I do not only mean my writing quality, I also mean the physical act of writing. To get over this, I was required to practice writing at home, along with being given extra/specialized homework. With all of this help, I learned to be better at handling my writing

Writing for me began as a kindergartener. My teacher made me write my name over and over again until I could write it without making any mistakes. In elementary school all my teachers taught me to put words I had learned together to form sentences. I was eventually taught to avoid fragments, and

I've always enjoyed writing but think it a myth that if you enjoy writing you're naturally a good writer. I have found that sometimes writing comes hard for me since I cannot peg down my ideas just as I want them or lynch that word that was on the 'tip of my tongue'. I enjoy writing when I do it it throws me up in heaven and leaves me there, excepting when I reread the piece and think it scandalous.

For the most part, I like to write. I surprise myself sometimes when I read what I have written. Essays don’t seem to be that hard for me and most of the time comes naturally to write. Ever since I was younger, reading and writing were always my strong points in school. Math and science didn’t stand

Video games are available to all age groups. With different types of style games, to reality and fantasy, from strategy to hit and run tactics, that could improve imagination, influence new ideas and most of all provide entertainment to players. Do you allow your children to play games with violences? Do you believe it can change your childś decisions? Even if it was just video games with little violences, it can cause aggressive behaviors, bullying and unhealthy life styles.

“We are family, I got all my sisters with me.” I strongly relate this verse, from the hit song to my personal family. I have a large, diverse family that always works together to help everyone succeed. Anytime I or someone else needs help there is always someone there. In addition to my blood relatives, my family extends to my classmates, coworkers, church, pets, and friends. My family works as one large system. This system has supported me emotionally, financially, and morally. I have been provided with everything I need to be successful in my community, job, and life by the entirety of my family.

In my English 1010 class, I have learned to do a number of things through writing essays. I have written a Literacy Narrative, a Discourse Community Analysis, and a Writing Research essay. Firstly, I have learned to identify how an author’s purpose, audience, genre, and context determine effective writing. The purpose of the literacy narrative was to help me understand myself better as a writer (Jones 1). My teacher was the intended audience of the narrative. The genre of the narrative was non-fiction because it was about my experience as a writer. The context of writing made my writing more interesting and more effective. All those things make effective writing because you have to know what you need to write about and who is receiving your writing. I displayed these skills by going into detail of my experiences with reading and writing through my life. In the narrative I shared how fun and exciting it was when my second grade class got the opportunity to write a book, A Book of Future Astronauts (Writing is Good).

Writing can seem like a broad thing. People often find it easier to jot down their jumbled thoughts as fast as possible and hand it in. Planning and proofreading are important though. I was left in the dark in high school when it came to some grammar techniques; a proofreading checklist has helped clarify things. A few things that were often unclear for me were that one must write out numbers less than 100 and must not use extra

Throughout Middle School, I have become a much better writer than I was at the beginning of 6th grade. I remember back in 5th grade when I had to do a 4-page essay, I had issues getting over half a page. I made it but, it took a while. Now I can easily type up a quick 2-page essay. I have many strengths as a writer. Some of these are how fast I can write, and my ability to pad out sentences in a way that still adds something to them, while still making it longer. I still need lots of improvement, for instance, I am not the best with word choice or figuring out a proper sounding way to get my point across.

When I was a freshman in high school, I had just turned fourteen. I enjoyed reading, but I was not a fan of writing at that point. I was never good at putting my thoughts into words, and I still struggle with that to this day. More often than not, I had far too much to say about a topic, yet I usually ended up not saying much at all, or not necessarily knowing how to say it. Writing seems complex to me. You not only have to worry about what you are writing, but also how you write it. Good grammar and an

Receiving my diagnostic test back was a big shock to me. I knew that the scores were not going to be good, but I did not expect for my grade to be so low. When I got to see how poorly I did on my essay I felt discouraged. Discourage on becoming a better writer and even attending college in general. Throughout high school all my teachers would say my writing needed to be improved, especially on the grammar but when I would ask for help they gave me the same suggested advice: “Revise your work before submitting.” Only one teacher throughout my four years in high school told me differently, his advice was to read more and that will help me on my writing. That corresponds with the very first reading we did in class “Reading to Write” by Stephen King as he states, “If you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others: Read a lot and write a lot.” (178) This gave me hope on how to improve my writing skills little by little.

The purpose of this paper is to provide a synopsis of the importance of assessment and diagnosis in the counseling process.

Even though "Everyone has the capacity to succeed at college and benefit from what it has to offer.” (Corbis, 2011), some people have the opportunity to go to college right after high school, although others have to wait one or additional years due to other reasons. When People finish high school it really just depends on if they got a scholarship and so this makes them makes them wait for college or go right after high school. There is furthermore the purpose perhaps a person had accountable that had to look into first before college. For instance, becoming a mother or father at a young

Writing has always played a huge role in my life. I’ve been reading writing for as long as I can remember as I have an immense love of reading. This love would grow into a love for writing as well; I still stumble upon journals and writings from my five-year-old self about the happenings in my kindergarten class. As time would go on I would discover academic writing, and how to convey my thoughts on what was the topic of student that particular year or semester in my schooling. Later, writing would become a constant for me, and a comfort; I was known to my friends as always having a journal, and a pen on my person. I learned to write down my feelings and my thoughts, song lyrics that were in my head, reflections for the day. I learned how

Writing has been a part of my life since I was in elementary school. I read a lot of books, and wrote many fiction stories for fun. I know that I can express myself best through writing, so even essay assignments were and are a form of my communication. But since it was creative writing outside of classes that was entertaining to me, essays where I had to follow many rules were never enjoyable. However, the very first formal essay assigned in this English class felt different from the other essays I was assigned to from the past. The process of brainstorming about what I actually cared about in life, the education system, and actually writing my thoughts out was not as boring as any other papers I had to write about. More specifically, I enjoyed writing the three short fictional stories that I decided to do for the medium through which I communicated my idea about the changes needed in our modern education. Our high school education system focuses too much on general education, and does not allow time for students to discover what they truly love to do. But ironically, the students are expected to know what they want to major in even before their final year of high school ends. I feel that through this assignment, although it has not changed my world, it has prepared me to communicate my ideas more enjoyably and thoroughly.
