Mine happened to be writing. I have always loved writing because I felt that writing was the only way that I could truly pour my heart and soul out. Whether it was an amazing day or an awful day, I would write it down. What writing meant to me was to confide in myself and write everything that was in my head onto paper. As much as I loved writing, I also despised it. I learned that journaling was completely different from academic writing and somehow, I found academic writing very stressful because
class, my writing ability was very execrable. I have passion in writing stories, and writing about myself. I just didn 't have any good experience in a well written paper. I was used to writing in an informal way instead of formal. I never knew how to start off the beginning paragraphs. I just thought about a topic, and wrote without any process or organization. I would continue to write without grabbing the reader 's attention. Under no circumstances, did I know how to end it because my topics were
something I aspire to do, through all my years of school not once has a teacher ever taught me how to write. Teachers have always assumed the previous teacher taught the skills I need to write a decent essay. My teachers have commented on how my sentence structure and transitions are weak within my essays, but they have never shown me how strengthen my sentences. Grammar is something I have always been atrocious at. The first time commas were explained to me was my junior year of high school, and it
The Journey of Writing Writing is something I enjoy doing to share my opinions and ideas. During this english course, I have learned how to change my writing in ways that make it more intriguing and effective. The essays I have written during this English 101 course have pushed me to change my writing process and write more creatively. Those essays have also forced me to reanalyze my personal opinions and beliefs. After taking this course, I believe that my identity as a writer has changed for the
Writing was never a known weakness of mine. However, I could never confidently call it a strength. Throughout the course of this semester, my writing style has evolved and I have rid my writing of many habitual mistakes. I have learned to appreciate writing much more, and enjoy the moments where my mind meets words on a paper. Creativity has always been one of my strong suits, but through this course I catered my creativity to compose a variety of essays and speeches. Likewise, public speaking is
hot day in July and I’ve already showered and eaten breakfast. I know that my classmates are all sleeping in and enjoying their summer break, but I don’t envy them; I’m excited to start my day interning with a local newspaper doing investigative journalism. I work a typical 8-5 day during my summer vacation and despite the early mornings, nothing has made me happier.Although it wasn't clear to me then, looking back on my high school experiences and everything that led to me to this internship, I
Throughout the years, my reading and writing skills were never my best aspect growing up as a kid. I always felt that I would never need to learn how to write and read because I wanted to become a superhero when I grew up, and I thought superheroes don’t need to learn that type of stuff because they just save people from the bad guys. As I grew older I knew my dream of flying around and fighting crime wasn’t an option, so I started read and write, which mostly started in kindergarten. I knew it wasn’t
started to write since I was seven years old. At that time, I completely did not know what is writing. Teacher told us to write diaries and read storybooks every day. Thus, at the beginning of writing, I thought writing is to record things happened in every day life with emotions or some kind of unrealistic stories that is in one’s mind. However, writing was so confusing to me. I could only write down my memories for the day with simple emotions such as happy, sad or angry. Later on, teacher started
do believe that writing is an important skill. Over the years, I have learned how to combine my love for animals with writing. I grew up in a house filled with animals. We had two dogs, including a slobbering, bellowing bloodhound, two cats, turtles, and a spiky bearded dragon named Max. My first word was an attempt to say dog, and my best friend was my dog, Rocky, a rescue mutt. I have been an animal lover since the beginning. Even the books I read showed my love for animals. My favorite series
My history as a writer has been focused on papers that have been assigned by teachers or professors. I do remember working on a story about 15 years ago but that never had a conclusion and I doubt I could find it now. I will focus on my academic writing. That writing has included numerous short papers in response to a question. That type of writing I consider to be a strength because I have done it so much. My weaknesses in writing is having to find a lot of evidence to support my position.
