My Reading and Writing Experience over the Years

For my first FIQWS class assignment we had to write a Literacy Narrative, a famous way for writers to discuss their association with reading, talking, and writing. Numerous education accounts have been composed

The impact both reading and writing have had on me throughout my school years has always been changing. While I have always struggled with reading comprehension, and anxiety in putting my thoughts into words when writing, I have found some relief when I am able to connect to a character in a book, or given freedom to find a topic I am interested in; which makes me excited and passionate about sharing my thoughts through writing.

My first major assignment was writing a literacy narrative about the things that shaped me as a writer. This assignment was not a difficult task for me because I wrote my college essay on the same topic. My writing is predominantly influenced the fact that I an immigrant from Bangladesh. English is not my first language, rather the third one. I have mastered Bangla literature and language and a decent understanding of Arabic. Moving to the United

When looking back five weeks ago, I struggled with confidence in my writing. I had much trouble expressing my thoughts on paper. Through time, I feel that I am stronger in my writing abilities and my writing skills have improved greatly. So far, I have learned to be more confident and I no longer struggle with getting started. There have been many instances where I have thought long and hard about submitting a document fearing that it was not good enough. Now, I realize that preparation is the key to great writing. When writing, many times I would write one section of the paper and immediately would start to revise before completely finishing. I soon realized that this method is a very long process and it’s

My writing skill is a work in process. It is important that I remember in the early stages of writing that I am working on a draft, and not the finished thesis. That’s while I keep on writing even if I know

Through my English classes I began to learn to not just regurgitate the information, but began to start writing like I was talking to someone in front of me. I enjoyed this this form of writing to be able express my thoughts and opinions. When I got to the more advanced classes of my psychology degree I needed to write papers in a more professional and informational style. It would be an understatement if I said this didn’t murder my creative writing spirit. I would have to revise my papers time and time again to cut out my own personal

I always have something to write about I never get stuck on a thought or an idea. I am a free writer wat ever comes on my mind I write it down. As I mentioned how I used to read all those books I always thought of the process of how long it toke to write something like that whether it was a book, magazine or even an article. With that inspired me to start writing more and see if I can actually put my own thoughts on a paper, and maybe one day I can write my own book. Although I have the ability to write as I please I do have my struggles of organizing my thoughts, and the paper I am writing. Sometimes I can be on a thought and stay with it until I can’t find other words to replace or think of something else. At most part I can fill out a paper no matter how long is it but the problem is my thoughts all are over the map, but I am working on that with my professors, and my previous classes and hopefully in the future I can write a paper with a cleared mind and know that I can write without having to worry about the organizing or the fact that my thoughts are not in there right places. Gladly I saw more improvement on my drafting lately and I am just pleased with

Writers get what is called “writers block” when they are unable to produce new work. Me, I get what is called “mental block”, which is my inability to keep my train of thought. Writers block and mental blocks are similar in a sense they both impact your ability to put together your thoughts. Normally this causes me to write a wall of words, in result not allowing me to express or get my main idea across clearly. Spawning uncertainty, disorientation, and unnerve, that prevent me from producing my own work. Trying to remember or trying to figure out how certain things in my essay should go is a constant struggles that came about from my block in thoughts. Leaving me gazing at a blank paper trying to figure out how or what to put on

I had been home schooled my whole life until my freshman year in high school. Therefore, I started to learn how to read and write at home. Before I started to learn how to read and write, I always wondered why everyone needed to know the letters of the alphabet and why they had to be able to draw them.

Nobody wants to come across as a fool, but if you are too preoccupied with the idea that you won’t do well enough for other people, you can miss opportunities to express yourself through quality writing. “The cure for writer's block” is explained as the silencing your critical opinions at first, while you develop your ideas and at least get them out on paper. A common way to do that is to write as much as you can about your chosen topic for three minutes without editing as you go. This forces your brain to fully develop your ideas and form new ones, rather that getting stressed about the final outcome. If you are able to recognize that your constant criticizing can block your thought processes, you can form your writing one step at a time and avoid writer's block all

My reading and writing experience began when I was about 3 years old. Writing has always been my way of expressing myself. Up until about high school, reading was something I really enjoyed and even prioritized. If I had to read a book for English class, I wouldn’t be as excited to read it compared to a book I chose myself. I believe that strong reading and writing skills are essential if one wants a successful career. I hope to improve my skills while enjoying the material this year.

Writing has always been something I dread. It’s weird because I love talking and telling stories, but the moment I have to write it all down on paper, I become frantic. It’s almost as if a horse race just begun in my mind, with hundreds of horses, or words, running through my mind, unable to place them in chronological order. Because I struggle to form satisfying sentence structure, it takes me hours, sometimes even days, to write one paper. It’s not that I think I’m a “bad writer,” I just get discouraged easily. Needless to say, I don’t think highly of my writing skills. When I was little I loved to both read and write. I read just about any book I could get my hands on, and my journal was my go to for my daily adventures. Although it’s

I’ve been told that my writing is subpar and it seems rushed. My writing is one of my major professional insecurities. I’ve been told that when I made a specific point in my writing that it was strong and had a great start. But when attempting to consolidate multiple points into an extensive paper, I’ve been informed that I fall short of doing that. Furthermore, my thoughts come off scattered, I tend to be all of the place when I’m writing. If I don’t have a strong template in front of me when I writing, then I easily bounce around from one point to another like a Quinten tarintino film. In the end, I think I fail to execute the original task and fail the attempt of being lucid.

Yes, I know, I know. It’s hard to believe that this is always happening to me during a composition. Ever since I was a little boy, I’ve always had this fright for writing. With amazing ideas floating in my mind on what to write, for some reason, it was always hard for me to transfer the thoughts from my mind, through my pen, and onto the paper. I often asked myself, “When will you overcome this?” My response would always be, “The day you develop a writer’s heart.”

This course has expanded my knowledge and view of reading and writing vastly. Following each paper, reading, and class discussion I learned more about myself as a student, and the world as a whole. I have found the books Rules for Writers and Ways of Reading thoroughly helpful throughout the course. This class entails a variety of aspects of the problem-posing concept of education; it truly involves the students and teaches them to think, read, and write individualistically, analytically, and clearly.
