My Challenge Of Writing

The first step to being successful, no matter what you’re trying to succeed, is to recognize your weak points, your strengths, and your limits. I myself know that I have several, and when I say several, I mean several, weak points when it comes to writing papers. The first and most lethal to a student who wishes to be well, is procrastination. I will always put writing a paper off till the last minute. In fact, I’m doing it right now as I’m writing this. I’m already doing what I say I’m not supposed to be doing. You can probably tell that I’m off to a great start. The next on the list of things that will brutally murder a student who wishes to do well in a class are distractions. Of course there is a multitude of things that can distract

My proudest essay was my research essay. I was very passionate about my spay and neuter topic and highly enjoyed my research. From this paper, I found that I had a strong mind for research and finding good scholarly journals. I also found that I was good at reading them and decoding this that tripped me up. I also learned that there was more to learn about APA citation that what I had previously known and this was a weakness of mine, but I quickly adapted and turned this into a strength. I also rediscovered my weakness of dragging things out in my earlier drafts, but learned to make cuts, even if I liked the information I originally wrote about. If it's not relevant, it doesn’t belong.

One strategy I use is the help of my friends. I will be in a call with them as I work so I dont go play video games or watch a youtube video. They know that I am supposed to be working and will remind me to do so if i get off topic. I did this while writing this assignment as a matter of fact. I am also fairly bad at knowing specifically what to write or where to start. This one i get around by simply discussing with people or writing down anything I can think of. Although I still get distracted, and still get lost, when doing these things it does not feel as hopeless and I am more likely to continue writing and working, even if

The three things I learned about are: recognizing an emergency, deciding to help, and call 911 if EMS is needed. Recognizing an emergency is very important. Four factors to notice when something is wrong are: severity, physical distance, relationship, and time exposed.

Writing this class is really a challenge for me.I never thought I would spend so much time writing.This is something I've never had before.However, I will turn the impossible into a possibility in this semester, and I believe I can do it.Because there is a good saying that you don't try to see how you know you can't do it.It is true that I will complete my challenge in this semester and keep moving towards my goal.In the future, my goal is to be a good salesman, and this skill is absolutely indispensable.To convince a person, you have to present your own points of interest and strong empirical evidence that you are right.Writing this class is the best way to strengthen this skill.I want to talk about how I grew up in writing and how much skill I learned.I'm going to tell you what I have encountered in writing and what challenges I have and how I overcame him.There are three challenges that I find difficult.At the beginning, the Internet quotes a strong and powerful argument to support my article with the use of grammar and paragraph architecture.

My writing process is like a baby learning how to walk. During their first year, the baby is busy developing coordination and muscle strength in every part of their body. They will learn to sit, roll over, and crawl before moving on to pulling up and standing. From then on, it's a matter of gaining confidence and balance before they start walking. They will fall over and over again but likewise, they will try over and over again until they’re off and eventually running. High school for me was like a baby’s first year when it’s preparing to start walking and this quarter in EWRT 211 was when I gave the first baby steps. With more practice, I’ll be walking with ease in no time. I believe I will be successful in EWRT 1A.

When I have an essay to write I make sure to pick a day that I am not busy. My children are in school and my house is quiet. I turn off my cell phone and any other noise distraction which breaks my mind concentration. Before I start I make sure my brain is not tired and well rested so it would not feel disoriented or losses focus during the process. In the beginning of the writing I usually get stuck on the first line because of a habit of uncertainty by going back and revising before I actually complete the whole sentence. I try constantly and instantly to re-read what I wrote and make instant changes. I would reconstruct phrases by switching them around to different places or reword any unlike words. There were days that

I have been a busy little bee planning out ideas for 500 First Drafts! I've even made my own blogging schedule! (I'm very proud of this) The main element I want to include is some sort of writing challenge, every week I will attempt a piece of writing: be that poetry, fiction, script writing etc. I will update you with my struggles and what websites I found useful along the way. Each Friday I will post whatever I've managed to do, even if its not finished, even if I don't like it. I can tell you're currently questioning my reasoning/sanity. Why would I post something unfinished and poorly written? Because apparently I enjoy torturing myself ... but in all seriousness, it's to push myself outside my comfort zone. During university we were given weekly writing tasks which forced me to write quickly and often, unfortunately over the past year I have fallen out of this habit, and the best way to get good at something is to do it over and over and over and over and over until your fingers hurt and the sound of the tippity tappity keys on your laptop make you want to scream ...

It gave me more of an understanding of what incoming college students face when writing and what to expect in this more academically challenged environment. “What Is ‘Academic’ Writing?” by L. Lennie Irvin is a short story about how first-time college students and how they think to have these kinds of expectation figured out to write an academically correct paper and the troubles they face. He also mentions the Importance of developing a writer’s sense, the myths about writing, the three most common types of college writing assignments and talks about the complex literacy tasks in assignment students struggle with. I really thought his story compare to a lot of what was happening in my life. I was struggling as a writer and I thought I knew what the expectations were going to be heading into college, but I didn’t. The number one thing I would like to focus on and compare it to my life as a writer are the myths people have about

As a writer, I feel that my weakness is struggling with time management and trying to get my best draft as my first draft. I have always struggled with trying to put forth the best draft on the first one and just making little adjustments and then turning the paper in. Another weakness I have is to over complicate my writing and over think submitting the final draft. Every single essay that I have had to write throughout this semester I have struggled with these problems. Particularly the research paper, since the paper was worth such a big percentage of the grade in the class. I was extremely self-conscious about submitting and writing the paper. I took a long time just to finish a rough draft. I reviewed the final draft for hours before submitting the paper. I also experienced the problem of being extremely self-conscious after I submitted the paper and question everything I choose to write on.

My writing skills which I have worked on over the few months I have been in English 102 have changed quite a bit in my opinion. There are many things which I have improved upon that were amongst my weaker writing skills when the year began. On the opposite side of that point, there are also many things which I still need to improve upon if I want to truly elevate my writing to a level that I will be confident in. Finally, I have gained new skills outside of writing from this class, particularly the activities which we did in class at various points throughout the year. These things all cumulate together to give me an appreciation of English courses which I did not previously have.

I feel that the biggest change to my writing this semester is in the way I organize myself for assignments. I was homeschooled and did all my assignments online. Making the change to a classroom environment was difficult for me due to my Asperger’s and learning about how to organize all aspects of my writing has been a challenge. I feel that I have improved as the semester progressed. I would like to discuss each aspect of the writing process and how my skills have improved by taking this class. I will be able to use the organizational process in my future career as a film maker and director.

All throughout my years of schooling, I’ve had just about, one paper that was about one page long, due every year. My papers never had to be more than one page in length. Therefore, I did not have to do much writing or do many essays. Surely not enough to remember any of the assignments. Writing has never been something I enjoyed doing, so I never bothered to many any memories of my writing experiences. I did not think it was necessary to remember any of them since I only had to do them to get a grade. The only writing experience I remember was the first assignment I had in this English 100 class about a writing experience. All week long, I sat there thinking about what to write about, but nothing came to mind as a topic. Then, one thing came to mind, but it was so very vague, I could not write the length that was needed for the assignment. I could only think of a few sentences to write for it. After sitting for a few moments longer, I thought, how about I write about how difficult it was for me to write this essay before it was due.

The third essay that was written was a critical argument. This assignment required me to choose two articles from the school library and write an essay stating my opinion on a particular subject. The topic I chose was medical marijuana. This topic was interesting to me, so it made the assignment fun. On this essay I had fewer mistakes than in previous essays. I continued to struggle with APA citation and the use of commas. When I looked at the feedback from this essay, it gave me confidence. I felt that I was learning and my writing skills were improving.

I’m sixteen years old turnIng seventeen In November, I’m 5’1 with short naturally brown curly hair. I have two very smart, very outgoing, and, very accomplished older sisters both taller than me and with long beautiful silky straight hair their faces as smooth as porcelain . A little bit more about my oldest sister Ariana, is that she was always involved whether it was at home, as school or even at our church. Ariana wanted to try everything she possibly could, she was very enthusiastic like little kids opening presents on the day of christmas, maybe even a little more. She always saw the cup half full. In everything she ever tried she exceeded. Her grades were average but what she lacked in smarts she made up in personality. One of the things I can remember from when she went to school, was that she went out with friends constantly and when she didn’t our house was full of 14 year old girls something I found very amusing since I couldn’t wait to grow up and do everything my older sister Ariana was doing. But, when she started high school everything changed the pressures of school and my parents urging her to do better and better pushed her to her limits. My sister made a bad decision, she ran away at the age of 16, but don’t worry she wasn 't alone, she moved in with her boyfriend a month and a half later we found out she was pregnant. My parents were devastated and my sister Mayra was angry, me? I didn’t really know what was going on but I sure could tell it
