My Writing Goals

A semester has passed since I started college and my journey of becoming a better writer. It has been a very important semester for my future college career, and I would not be here without the things I have accomplished. The composition program has really helped me to prepare for what college writing is all about. Now standing here and looking back I could not imagine how it would be without that class. I believe my English, and my writing is better than it has ever been, and all thanks to the composition program.

My English Literature major has helped me to achieve an outstanding level of appreciation, enjoyment, and knowledge of both American and British Literature. As a high school AP English student, I struggled through great works like Hamlet and To the Lighthouse. My teacher’s daily lectures (there was no such thing as class discussion) taught me merely to interpret the works as critics had in the past. I did not enjoy the reading or writing process. As a freshman at Loras, I was enrolled in the Critical Writing: Poetry class. For the first time since grade school, my writing ability was praised and the sharing of my ideas was encouraged by an enthusiastic and nurturing professor. Despite the difficulty of poetry, I enjoyed reading it.

“ There are your radish seeds everyone.” Said Mr. Susick. The whole class looked around at each other with a blank confused face. It was the first day of junior year in my English class. Mr. Susick started talking about how our first assignment would be to grow radishes. We were all thinking, how in the world does gardening relate to English class. I had heard about this project from previous juniors but none of them said what the real reason was. All Mr. Susick said was that you need to let the project teach itself and get into nature. He left us with one bit of information along with the requirements to start. The main goal of the assignment was to extract your own universal truths. For the first time in English class,

Rain is crucial to all living things from every walk of life. Rain brings destruction and regrowth, leaving a clean slate and a new beginning. I selected this theme because while the focal point and characters change throughout my writing the constant idea throughout my pieces consisted of moving on, growing, and starting a new beginning. I think that lately my writing has been full of an unknown tone, an excitement/ fear of growing up and starting over. I believe this is all because I've reached a point in my life where I’m going to college and moving away. I’m delighted to be able to go out on my own and experience new things, but it’s kind of nostalgic to know that my childhood is coming to a close. However I’m aware that not all people

Have you ever wanted to write a story ? Because if you want to start writing you might have to start young. When you start young you can get all the experience that you need so Something I want to accomplish is to write because I like to write,it is interesting, and I have always wanted to be a writer.

I have always struggled to string together words to put on the page. After I joined debate in high school, I unlocked a great ability to speak fluently and powerfully. However, my writing could never quite catch up to how fast my mind and mouth can articulate my ideas. Through this class, I have worked much harder on being able to write just as much as I could say. Free-writes have proven very helpful in this aspect. Some days we would not have the time to discuss the free-write, hence, I worked hard to transcribe all the ideas I would want to share with the class on the page. Not only was I writing the ideas, but I tried to make sure the ideas were written cohesively and grammatically

There are a lot of goals I have this year in AP Language and Composition, but mainly I want to be a better writer. I hope to learn how to more effectively write and include different devices that can enhance my writing. To be able to better get my ideas across through language would be a great accomplishment for me, which I hope to achieve. Another goal I have for this year is to become a better presenter. Speaking and being influential in my speech would be a great improvement for me, and that would require me to be more comfortable in front of a group, which can be beneficial to many aspects of my life. I also look forward to becoming more creative in means of presenting information. As a student I appreciate learning

As a child raised in the confined and modest society of the countryside, I have felt bereft and misplaced in the universe. Ardently, pining to become part of something extraordinary and to belong to a society composed of refinement and creativity. In the provincial town from whence I came, I observed for many a year how living in conformity rendered many a person in the vicinity insignificant objects of mediocrity. Which only solidified my conviction in the endless improvement of my mind and character, determined to become bigger and brighter than anyone that came before me. I always relentlessly sought but seldom obtained the golden opportunity to explore any interest of mine or was ever afforded the luxury to pursue and hone those interests to absolute perfection, particularly my fervent interest in literature and the performing arts.

Looking back on my experience of writing the first two long essays, I would say I faced multiple challenges. My first challenge was how to begin writing, especially on the first long essay. For the first long essay my biggest mistake was not making a rough outline and that made the writing process take much longer and it clearly was a struggle. I kept hitting writer’s block as I stared at my screen, not knowing what to write next. Another challenge was how to think critically, I was stumped at how to associate the book Harold and Maude with something I had previously come across. After spending hours and hours of rereading and making notes, I finally found a connection that helped tie my essay up. It was only after I finished with

When pencil meets paper, magic happens; starting with a blank sheet of paper, and ending with a black and white masterpiece. Even though this work of art has no color or images, it is the most powerful form of expression that you will find. Throughout my high school career, I have fallen in love with the art of writing. I am able to take each thought in my mind and let them flow from my fingertips to an 8.5 by11 sheet of paper. With a strong passion for writing, it is my goal to one day be a journalist and write for the New York Times.

Writing is not a profession for me, it's more like a path to reach Zen. I'm a budding creative writer who focusses on coming up with meaningful contents which can help my readers in some way or the other. So, needless to say, I don't do crappy jobs at all.

Since I was ten years old, my father has taught me how to write and sit my goals. He believes that well-written goals will help a person to achieve and how to achieve them, and it also makes the person more optimistic and has self-confident. Therefore, I have taken my first step in my life to achieve several goals, and one of them was being a doctor.

Writing is one of the important aspect of learning a new language and it is one of my many weaknesses in English. I have been trying to use any opportunity that to improve my writing and I am so grateful that the Plainsboro library and more precisely Anne form a series of writing classes. There are so many good activities in the class and also there are some that I would like to see I these classes.

My everest goal this year would be to focus on my work by turning in on time by setting alarm clock making a reminder or simply just looking in my agenda,Also another goal i have is to respect my teachers and not have attitude and if i do break that point i can just simply say ok and not have attitude its a real help also a way I reliving my angry is just tuning people out it's best for me and my teachers,Another goal for me would be to at least listen in class and respect other student.

This course’s goals and curriculum seem to be a wonderful way for me to become a more effective teacher. Sometimes I run into situations when I can’t effectively help my students. The knowledge I would gain from this course would help me to better answer my students’ questions. Furthermore, I want to expand my knowledge of English grammar. As a native speaker, I find it hard to explain certain grammar components. I believe the best teachers have a wonderful command of grammar and great language awareness. This course would help me build and refine these skills.
