I see that writing an essay is like telling your audience a story that you have created yourself. The story could either be about me struggling in being accepted in Valdosta State University, or how Immokalee High school, which is the high school I had attended, began as an educational institution. The paper I typed up in high school were mostly looking up information about a historical event. For example, how Christopher Columbus had discovered America and how he was a terrible person in general. Outside the textbook and writing class, I had written multiple stories about my life and my feelings towards people. These types of stories I had written were very personal. When creating them, I started pouring my emotions into an electronic device.
With spring registration at Texarkana College in full swing, TC is also providing students with the chance to take a few classes before the spring semester begins.
There have been various other times in which I am able to connect to this essay. For instance, recently at the previous institute that I attended I had to write a fifteen-page research paper for my Composition and Literature I course. After getting about half way through the paper I became stressed and started to experience a writer’s block. I had no idea what else to write about, and instead of relaxing and just writing down the ideas that came in mind, I started to worry
Writing an essay can be difficult if a person does not know how or where to begin. I personally believe the first step of writing is to list down ideas about the topic. After
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 by cause of it being about my experience as a writer. The context of writing made my writing more interesting and more effective. Knowing those elements helps you to compose writing that is more effective due to you needing to know what you need to write about and who is receiving your writing. I displayed these skills by going into detail about my experiences with reading and writing through my life. As shown in the following sentence from my literacy narrative I shared how fun and exciting it was when my second-grade class received the opportunity to write a book, A Book of Future Astronauts, “Everyone in the class was truly excited to be writing our own book,” (Writing is Good).

I am Tahnieah Leach the daughter of Letisha Allen and the granddaughter of Angela Leach out of Chadbourn North Carolina. I attend West Columbus High School in Cerro Gordo were I was a former cheerleader, track runner, and also participated in the dance, theater, chorus, and talent search programs offered at my school. If I had to describe myself I would say I was a very outgoing, determined, and dedicated person. When I have a goal, passion, or interest in something I dedicate my time to learn more about it, perfect, and mater it. My high school career has been a mixture of ups downs twist and turns but through it all it has taught me many life lessons and has been four years to remember. High school has shown me who I really am as a person, it has
Before taking English 1301 class, I was a light writer. I mostly enjoyed writing poetry, short stories, and a did a little bit of journaling here and there. Many of my writings were about my own personal feelings and were used as stress relievers, or for other therapeutic reasons. I am a very emotional writer, by this I mean I like to show a lot of emotion behind my writings. While taking English 1301, I had to write academic essays. This caused quite a bit of struggle for me, as I was unable to show emotion and I had to grow accustomed to writing with a larger vocabulary and writing papers that were longer than half a page or so. I struggled with finding the words to say, and suffered from writer’s block. I got over this slump within the first three to four weeks of class, and felt more capable of writing academic essays.
The writing of my college essay was quite a process. Normally for me writing comes rather easy, I do not struggle putting my ideas on paper. At first I thought that this essay would be simple to do and not be very stressful. It turned out to be quite the opposite in fact, just brainstorming was a struggle for me. It was difficult for me to think about my life and how it is special. To me, the events that have shaped me do not seem that relevant, at 18 I had never really payed much attention to how certain things affected me, I just lived my life. eventually , with the help of Mary, I came to the realization that having my summer taken away from me due to a broken foot had really changed my life philosophy, it truly changed who I was and my outlook on life.
It is difficult for me to describe my four years at Wilmington High School in a way that brings it to life on paper; however, I feel I can best explain my purpose throughout high school with one quote. Thomas Edison, the very successful American inventor, once said, “There is no substitute for hard work.” During my high school experience, I have spent my time working hard rather than searching hard for a shortcut. There is truly no shortcut to success. If I had not joined the sports or clubs I had, my life would have been easier, but not successful. My grades may have been less of a challenge to maintain if I neglected extracurriculars. However, without my sports and clubs, I would not have been taught the meaning of teamwork and dedication
I have wrote many different kind of essay and paper. From a point of view of three person, first person, what you think this person is telling you, to writing how you feel, what changed your life to where do you see yourself in the next 10 years. I enjoyed this writing class and I know my teacher has enjoy my present. The only bad thing I can say is I HATE writing annotated bibliography and anything that have something to do with it,
Writing an essay may seem like a huge obstacle to overcome, but with a plan of attack and a little organization, it can be easily completed. All it takes is seven easy steps.
Writing essays have never been easy for me. Describing my thoughts and feelings just don't seem to turn into the right words I want to say. Coming up with a theme and an argument is hard to convey, making the reader see what I'm truly trying to say. The hardest parts of writing essays for me is coming up with the right things to say that correlate to my argument and doing so under a short period of time.
I use to think essays were just stupid, and that educators made students write them, because they were closeted sadists. But I wanted to continue my education, and in order to do that, I would have to write essays. So I decided to take an online course in essay writing. That was when essays were finally explained to me. You are, as the writer, suppose to be part of an academic conversation, adding on to the subject what you learned and believe. Sure it's not the same as story telling, you can't just make up stuff, you definitely have to know your stuff. You aren't there to amuse the reader, you first job is to inform, but that doesn't mean you have to bore them with blunt fact after blunt fact.

I have been writing since I have been in Middle School. I have realized that by college it was easier for me to write down my thoughts in order for me to remember what I have said or done. Writing out my thoughts gives me a sense of recollection, knowledge, and pacification that gets me through my day. I pictured writing to be as simple as jotting down a few sentences, but as I got farther in school I realized that there is more to it than just writing sentences. English has been my most difficult subject I have ever endured, but I have somehow been managing to make excellent grades and achieving all requirements. First in the essay, I will discuss my experiences in the English life that I’ve taken so far up until college. The second part will list my struggles in creating a thesis, a work cited, and properly citing my sources used in the papers.
