y experience as a writer before this semester of college writing one, was almost non-existent. The best training that I had before this class was an internship while I was preparing to separate from the Army. I had the opportunity to work for a marketing company in Fayetteville, NC, called 219 Group. My Army unit allowed me to do so, and the internship ended up being a terrific experience.

What kind of writer am I? That’s a trick question for which there is not a satisfactory answer. My experience with writing has never been my favorite.
