My Controversy About Writing

When I was a small child, I didn't like writing unless I was writing something I wanted to. As a result, most of my school work was done half-heartedly, because they were all research projects that we had to do. I didn't have any issues with my writing, and my handwriting was pretty good at my age. My favorite books were the Harry Potter series. I thought I was pretty cool to be able to read such a long book, so I bragged some to my friends. The only topic I liked to write about was fantasy. In second grade, my mom made me start writing every day in a wide ruled journal, so I wrote a story about the Legend of Zelda, a video game I liked. I wrote about it every day for a long time, maybe a year, until I kinda gave up, and wrote the last page

Writing has affected my life for the better, but our relationship is still rocky. I never realized how much of an impact writing would have on my life, until I began my career in law enforcement. Prior to my career in law enforcement, I was a student-athlete. I always viewed writing as a chore, something that I had to do, and that always frustrated me. It frustrated me, because, I did not think I was good at it. I then discovered personal writing. I began writing letters, telling stories, the whole nine yards; I learned to allow personal writing to be an outlet, and that helped me to become an overall better writer. After I became familiar with personal writing, writing started to grow on me. I found myself doing more and more writing, and I was enjoying it. When I enjoy writing, it makes the whole process seem easier.

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.

Like most people, writing has made an impact on my life. I didn’t notice it right away, but once I did it changed my life forever. I consider myself to be a fairly decent writer and I would say it was the only thing that kept me going. I love writing that involves thinking and real emotion. Writing journals and letters have helped me get through a lot in my life and that is really something I will never forget.

The relationship that I have with writing is complicated and we don’t always get along. Although we tend to make up even when I get frustrated and want to quit. When being assigned a paper I struggle with what to write. My words seem to never come out the way I would like and I’m always having to start over and over again. It starts to get frustrating after a while. Needless to say writing isn’t one of my favorite things to do but it’s apart of our everyday lives like texting, sending emails, posting on Facebook, Twitter, and so on. I personally have only used texting as my main daily form of writing since I graduated high school. So therefore I would like to refresh my memory of what I learned in high school and widen my use of writing while in this writing course.

When I write about things I love, it helps me become really creative. If a person writes a lot , they would start loving to read. Writing allows me to be able to enjoy other people stories and ideas. While reading, a person can broaden their vocabulary, and use those words in their writings. I can apply this in the future by writing more when I have free time, and in schools when I have to write a ten page paper.

Writing isn’t for everyone, yet the number of people writing in this exact moment is pretty monstrous if you google it. Writing has basically been there for me since I was born, it was there when they wrote my birth certificate, when i was learning how to write my name, when i wrote my first essay, taking the STAAR tests, practicing for the AP test, to my first writing assignment for college. People are gifted with creating such rich, breathtaking, emotional, and deep work that last for generations and generations (not me), but writing has not always been a friend to me. The process of writing is not just write and your done, no you need to take time and let your ideas gush out (duh you already knew that) but also to edit and revise to make those final drafts. Writing can be a huge pain in the buttocks (ass), but it isn 't that bad. Here are some of my issues and strengths about writing and my take on it.

Writing has been an outlet for me, and has allowed me to express my passions, guided me along a trying time in my life, and has forced me to acknowledge that I can’t let a disease define who I am, and moreover has pushed me to discover that I’m a passionate young man

Since I can remember I have always loved to write. When I first took college composition I it was so fun and I loved everything I learned in that class. It was so long ago so I don’t really remember everything that I learned but for the most part, I remember being able to pick a topic and write about that one topic throughout the semester. There are three aspects of my writing that I would like to improve which are tone, grammar, and style. I always write in the sarcastic tone. I would love to learn how to write in a different tone such as disapproving, critical, pleading, humorous etc. I would struggle with grammar because I'm always the type of person to do things fast. I would free write and I would write so fast that sometimes I do mistakenly

Personally I feel that writing can be a great source in expressing our feelings, hopes, and dreams that can’t be conveyed through spoken words. Especially, looking at Autobiography of Red in which Geryon used writing to document moments in his life and how he felt during that time. The only down fall with writing is my case is organizes my thoughts to flow how I would like them to.

My attitude about writing is quite positive because writing places your thoughts in front of you. This attitude comes from my mental attitude. My past writing experiences were English, Writing, Composition, Communication. Taken those courses helped me build confidence in both writing and communicating. During those courses I've wrote Haiku's, Biographies, Persuasive, Narrative, and many more specific papers. I love to read, except chapter books because i feel I rather watch a movie. I read Sports Magazine and articles for pleasure, such as: Sports Illustrated, ESPN, The Vertical, Players' Tribune. Also, fashion and music magazines, such as: GQ and GQ music. I personally prefer to write with soft music in the background, usually with my legs

so yeah to pass the time I am doing something I never thought I will, I write. I know that I usually control and express myself through art but there isn’t exactly a canvas and aquarelles in front of me right now so I suck it up and decide to write my feelings down even if it makes me weak.

     From a very young age, writing has been a passion of mine. Through writing I have developed an

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.

Almost every teenager has broken their curfew once or twice in such a way that they find themselves needing a wild story in a fruitless attempt to soothe an apoplectic parent. What can they say that doesn’t make it look like they didn’t blatantly forget or weren’t partying so hard they barely noticed the numbers on the clock saying it was well past the time to go home? While the poor rule-breaking teen continues to take a verbal lashing for their mistake, the only other solution to soften the wrath of a fuming parent is to simply lie. However, lying to a parent can prove to be strenuous because it usually seems that they can see through any child’s lie, whether it be with a story chock full of holes or improper planning, they can bust it within a second. Never fear, there are plenty of ways to fluff the lie into the flawless “truth”.
