My Importance Of Writing

The only way you can become better at doing something is simply by continuing to work on your craft. Whether it is a hobby, an interest, or a profession, if you don't keep working, then you will remain complacent. A year ago, I thought writing was one of those things where I would just be complacent in. Not because I didn’t wanted to work harder at it, but because I thought of writing as one of those skills that came natural to you, or you did not have it at all. I always wanted my writing to improve but never knew how.

The ways in writing may be important to my career, academics and in the work place is that it is always needed or required. To be a teacher I have to write emails, letters and lesson plans. In the workplace I have to be able to write down a call-in. A call-in is when someone calls to place an order. Writing is very important without writing I would not be able to get through life because somewhere I would have to write something down. Being able to write is a critical skill for my life, career, academics and in the work place.

For me, writing is purely educational. I have never felt the need to sit down and write. I tried to keep a journal when I was younger, but even then I would write the date, how old I was, and what I was doing that day. Eventually, I would forget about it. For school, my english teachers would have each class spend around 20 minutes a week free writing. During those 20 minutes I ended up writing songs, that were famous at the time, down. Writing has never come easily to me, the worst part about essays weren’t doing the research but figuring out how to put the research into words that flow together and make someone want to read. Writing makes me feel stressed and my ideas get all scrambled. I wish I were a stupendous writer still, I never felt the need or want to write

Writing plays an paramount role in my life because it is a great way to express my feelings. My life without writing is like sailing without compass. I indulge in writing not only because I can share my perception with others but also can generate new ideas. Also, I have my own way to formulate a writing, and both story writing and research writing are two of my favorites. I face many difficulties in writing but I have learnt how to work with them.

There are many actions, characteristics, and goals that are set throughout life that help people become literate in something, whether it is in a sport, a school subject, or a hobby. Recognizing any strengths or weaknesses and setting out to make them better are also a large part in one’s journey to becoming who they are today. Subjects such as language arts are especially helpful when doing this and help bring out the voices of writers and readers, young and old. For me, the activities and decisions I have made up to this point, including reading and writing, have made me the person that I am today. Reflecting on this and my personality, strengths, and weaknesses have also contributed to my growth over the years and have pushed me

As long as I can remember, writing has been a huge aspect of my life. When I write, my mood is positively affected and I am able to collect all my thoughts. I was inspired by my mother to write, and that has influenced how much passion I put into my work. Writing has been a calming experience that enables me to understand my thoughts. I have used writing to communicate and connect with others. It has helped me to create strong relationships because other people can truly understand who I am when they read what I have written. Writing was introduced to me at a young age, and it has guided me to embrace the person I am today.

During the fifteen weeks I was in English 1104, I learned more about English than all four years of high school. Even though this semester came with a few challenges, I became a better writing along the way. Sadly, I quickly learned that my high school classes did not have me fully prepared for college. Strong sentence structure and correct grammar were one out a few skills I was having a tough time with. Since the class had five completely different types of essays to write was something that helped me dearly this semester. Each assignment and topic brought out a different obstacle for me to overcome.

Have you ever been told to write a paper over something and despised the topic? I have and it happens every year. Never fails my teachers look at me and inform me that I have to write another paper over something that would give anyone a hard time to write about. Unless you are one of those kids who look at something and understand exactly what is happening without even having to pay attention in class. It baffles me how it happens. How can one person understand how to do something without paying attention to the instructor? I was told to write a descriptive essay. So I have decided to write about how much I dislike writing papers without a prompt or something to help guide my thoughts. Now that I am done rambling about this paper, here goes nothing.

Before I took this class, I was very inexperienced as a writer and I did not have much knowledge on the different types of essays and stories that we wrote in this class. Intermediate Composition has taught me a ton about how to use a variety of skills and how to greatly improve my writing. In the classes I took during my previous years of high school. We did not have much of a variety while writing essays and we were limited to specific guidelines. Unlike my previous classes, we were able to choose the topics we wrote about in this class, and it allowed me to enjoy my writing more than ever before and I feel that it helped me write better. Some examples of the classes I have taken previous to this class are the standard ninth and tenth grade World Literature and American Literature. I chose to take this class at the end of my sophomore year in high school because I was not very interested in taking a more difficult writing class, and my skills in writing were not as good as I would have liked them to be. So I figured that Intermediate Composition would be the best option for me so I can improve my skills as a writer and still have fun while doing it. We got a lot of time in class to work on every single one of our essays and I believe that doing that was able to relieve a lot of the stress that my Junior year was putting on me. Coming into this class, my skills in grammar was awful and something I really liked about this class was that I was able to prepare for the SAT as

At a young age, I admired writing with all my heart. I would write only about fantasy as long as it grabbed me out of my own reality. When I created my fantasy stories, I would be so deep into my writing that I would not notice anything else other than the words flowing through my mind as I write. In the process of growing up, my writing changed. Instead of only writing fantasy stories, I started to write about my everyday tribulations and my speculations about it all. This habit kept me composed and relaxed countless times.

These four to five papers that I have attempted to write this year has really shown me that my writing has a pattern. Nearly every paper this semester was similar in a way which was also another problem and affected my interest in them due to the fact that it seemed repetitive so that limited me from having a more linguistic maturity and better mechanics.

As a writer, I was strong for my grade throughout junior high. Teachers would always say how my writing flowed beautifully and sounded just right. Unfortunately, as the years went on subjects got harder and I shifted my priorities from writing to things such as science labs and math equations. Writing became more difficult for me and I stopped making the time for it. Once earning A’s and B’s now I was just barely skimming by with low C’s and occasionally high D’s. Grammar became increasingly hard for I started messing up on smile commas and punctuation in general. Sentences started to become harder to form as the passion to write was no longer there. Since I’ve been in college I’ve realized how important English and writing is and how I need to start relearning and growing inn my ability to write again. The things I would like to see myself grow in as a writer would be: properly used punctuation, less grammatical errors, and writing with a passion for what I’m relaying to the reader.

Writing has never been something that I have really enjoyed or was particularly good at. Every year I have been required to take an english class and it has always been one of my most challenging classes, especially if it involves a lot of writing. One reason I never really got better is that I only wrote when I had to for a class. Outside of school or my english classes I would avoid writing as much as possible because I really didn’t enjoy it. However the main reason I hated it was because I wasn’t very good at it and it always just seemed very tedious. Over the years I have started to improve at writing slowly and it has become less of a dreaded thing. This class has been one of the most helpful in teaching me actually how to structure and craft a good essay. I was going to take advanced comp as recommended by my sister but I’m glad I took this class because I got a lot more instruction on writing than I would have in advanced comp. Before this class I didn’t have a lot of writing skills other than basic stuff that wasn’t enough to really make quality essays that I was proud of. And even when I liked an essay that I wrote it usually had flaws that came from me just not being an experienced writer. Coming into this class I had lots to work and improve on and over the course of the semester I feel like I have improved and learned a lot. My first essay was far worse than my last few and it has been mainly due to practice and more knowledge that I gained in this class.

I have come to realize that writing is not only writing long papers. It can include any form of written communication. After graduating high school, I knew I wanted to be an engineer. From just looking in, I expected engineers not to write often. Engineering appeared to be just science and math. While researching, I came across an article about how effective communication is for 21st century engineers. After this, I knew I would be writing on the job. Writing helps current and future engineers communicate with people of other disciplines, understand tasks, and help improve ideas.

In the essay below I will be explaining how English composition and writing has really been a huge advantage to me.I will also be explaining how I use to think I was a fantastic writer until I got to college. The paragraph below goes into depth about how as I progressed into each grade my essays improved and how I came into college cocky and ended up starting from the bottom again.
