In general, my revision and editing skills are the best elements in my writing. They are in a sense the shining star of my writing.

Finding this strategy will also help me in

When I was four years old, I received a special gift, a simple wooden number two pencil, and with this pencil I was to use it for writing something personal, my name. The feeling of holding a pencil for the first time, was a strange sensation, although it felt familiar, it felt as if all the pressure on my hand was being focused into this tiny stick. I used the motion of my hands to guide the pencil onto the slick smoothness of the paper to create a series of intricate patterns; I managed to scribble out a pattern that was special to me, my name “Aisha”. I felt proud of myself, never mind the fact that if you were to look at the page I wrote my name on you would have barely managed to make coherent sense out of my attempted writing, but none
I’m a sophomore student who studies in W. P. Carey School of Business with the communication major. It’s quite tough for me to adjust the different languages and cultures in ASU, but I survived.

When lunch period came around, I stepped out of my previous classroom and started walking towards the cafeteria to look for Niall. I turned the corner stepping towards the cafeteria entrance when I feel a strong grip tug on my arm. I turn my head in time to see a closed door. I smell the faint cologne I've grown to feel nervous around.

I drag my feet as I walk to the sit stool that connects to the dividing wall, and face the glass. On the other side of the glass is a empty chair that will soon to be filled with many things. “ Remember that I can hear your conversation. “ the officer looked me cold into the eyes, I nodded my head and tried to not show that my hands are shaking.
I’m sure my mouth is doing a perfect imitation of a fish as I stand staring at him. What is he doing here?! His jade eyes seem to almost shine in the evening light, his hair caught in the faint rays of sunlight left, a small smile on his face. What seems like a few hours later, but I’m sure is only a few seconds I finally respond.
I was sitting in psychology class, it was such an incredibly average day, that the entire morning of it is gone from my memory. My desk sat second in the column, the fifth and furthest row from the door. The movie Sybil wrapping up on the screen off to the side of me.
