My Relationship As A Writer

I may not be the best writer there is out there but I do put all of me into each piece I develop. I believe in giving it your all at all times. If your giving it anything less why try at all. I'm huge on that theory and I believe it means a lot more than I believe it to be. I hope that each piece I submit this semester is nothing less than my best and I hope to take in all the criticism and use it to my advantage.

After reading Chapter 3 of “High Price” by Dr. Carl Hart, I learned he lived with his mother and father until the as halfway thru the second grade. Then got a divorce and he stayed with his father for about two week, but once his father realized that he was unable to take care, he then went to live with his Big Mama. His great grandmother was a Bahamian woman. She came to the United States when she was a young adult. His big mama was a women who believed and stressed that going school and being self sufficient was important. She believed that a black men in this society had no chance if they weren’t educated. Dr. Carl Hart’s family based their family morals off of Booker T. Washington and W. E. B. DuBois, based on the beliefs of the his grandmother and great grandmother. His great grandmother followed role of W. E. B. DuBois, because she believed that education was important and this was a way for African Americans can advance. Although his great grandmother believed that education was important, she did not believe that it would not help someone of his race in a world where racism played a big part of being successful. Carl’s father would promise to pick him up on the weekends and would never show or even showed up drunk. Although his father was an alcoholic, Carl didn’t mind it he just wanted to be around him. Being the his great grandmother loved him dearly, his great grandmother loved him and always had his back. When Carl’s father didn’t play a the role of being a

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.

An electromagnetic bomb uses an intense electromagnetic field. Brief pulse of energy which affects only electronic circuitry without any harm to humans or buildings. Electronic systems are temporarily disabled by the pulses at low level whereas in case of mid range levels data from computers can corrupt. Complete destruction of electronic circuitry is caused by very high levels. This can disable machines like computers ,radios and ignition system in vehicles. Any target that relies on electricity can be devastated by E-Bomb. It is not directly lethal. The devastation can encompass any military target or civilian areas of the world.

As I finish up my practicum hours this week, I am amazed at how everything has come full circle. As someone who came into college with no clue of what I wanted to do after graduation, I found that the Office of Student Engagement allowed me to develop as a person and figure out the things that are most important to me. As I started to get more involved on-campus and take on more leadership roles, I started to gain an interest in working in the field of higher education in hopes to provide this same experience to other college students. By having the opportunity to work with Patrick Dezort, the Director of Student Development and Engagement at Felician University, as part of my Field Practicum in Psychology course, I was hoping to get

My journey through Writer’s Composition has been a rocky rollercoaster with ups and downs, but from these experiences I have grown as a writer overall. The essays I have written for this course demonstrate that I have developed critical thinking and have shown minor improvements in my communication skills. They also demonstrate that though I have made some progress in personal responsibility and general writing skills, I still have work to do. From Writer’s Composition Two, I have developed an understanding of persuasive writing, and I now am able to pick a topic or a claim and argue it in classic argument writing.

My relationship with writing has always been more of a punishment or torture than a pleasure or recreational fun. I have always felt like I was a poor writer, no matter what the content or subject was. I do enjoy proofreading or correcting grammar mistakes but as far as writing a paper from scratch, I feel a great deal of inadequacy. I do not particularly like or care for writing generally speaking because of the many fears and lack of ability to express my thoughts.

Being a writer is not something that comes easy, it is something that must be worked at. You get better at it over time by practicing and improving your writing skills through the help of tools or other people. I persobnally wanted to better my own writing askills, so I began identifying my problems and finding resources to help better those fields in which I need help. My most major problems as a writer include my style or wirting, transitioning, and forming complete paragraphs. I found many helpful tools on my journey to become a better writer and I believe that I have strengthened my understanding of essay writing as well.

The most difficult part about writing an essay is getting started. Writers block is definitely a writer’s biggest fear. Hours upon hours spent drawing blanks, chewing away at the top of the pencil searching for ideas is certainly common for even the best writers. Even the author of Please Don’t eat the Daisies Jean Keer admits that she feels most inspired when she reads labels.

A person can read and write a great deal in one day whether they realize it or not. Whether it be texting a friend or reading a textbook for a certain class, you are reading and writing constantly and a daily basis. What surprised me the most about the reading and writing that I did on Sunday was how much I am reading and writing on my phone. Whether I am texting to coordinate plans with a friend for the night or reading a random article I saw while reading a Facebook news feed, I am constantly reading and writing on my phone. I never considered it reading and writing when I used my phone, I just saw it as looking at my phone. Just staring at this four-inch screen for some sort of entertainment. What also surprised me was how much we read without noticing it. You can walk down State Street and you will be constantly reading by looking at stores, posters, or even words on a bus that is passing by. Our eyes and brains are looking at and reading words all the time.

I would have to say that I am closer to a writer than I use to be, but I’m also not where I would like to be. I was always told that I was a natural writer until I got to high school. Everyone either caught up to my level, surpassed it, or I plateaued. Trying to improve myself, I took honors and AP English literature. Unfortunately, I had only felt worse about my writing when I got to AP. My teacher, Mrs. Tomaselli, never gave anyone A’s so I did not feel too bad about myself, but gave no positive feedback. I did however compare a piece of writing I was very proud of that I did in 11th with a recent piece, both about my Polychondritis. The two pieces made me see the evolution of my writing. As far as the class English 101 goes, I have

I have written lots of stories and essays during my high school journey. I'm not an excellent writer, but I am a quick learner. The only time I write essays is for the school work. I seldom did anything out of school or writing for leisure. I am good at writing facts rather than essays. I always thought that writing is something that knowledgeable people with huge vocabulary do. And I am not, by any means, a Shakespear. I do not find writing to be natural, therefore find it very challenging.

When I first started writing, my ordinary yellow 2B pencil and the college ruled binder paper seemed to make a great couple. On the other hand, my relationship with my writing has been a love or hate relation. Writing on binder paper has given me this sense of comfort at certain times. Then, there are occasions where I dread long boring writing topics. Though, Youth chapter books were probably any reason why I started to enjoy anything relating with English. Middle school humor has always entertained me because the content is relatable. While on the other hand, the young adult’s sarcastic or satirical humor books were difficult to understand due to the indirect motives. After reading and writing different styles and topics, my confidence level boosts up.

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.

In the past, my solitary writing rituals were what I now consider bland, poorly structured, and repugnant. I, sadly, believed my technique and skills were good enough to earn me an “A+” on essays. Upon entering this college level course, I realized, through peer reviewing, that my grammar, sentence complexity, vocabulary, and overall writing skills were not suffice and I had to start making changes in order to become a better writer. As for my field of study, medicine, I never really thought of writing as a vital area it, but I was soon proved wrong by my PLTW, Project Lead the Way instructor. Through peer reviewing, I have been able to see previous mistakes in my solitary writing, how I have learned and changed for the best, and the importance of writing in my field of study.
