Examining yourself as a writer Writing has never been my strong suit, simply because I am not interested in the given topics. However, the times I really like to write is when I can talk about a topic I love talking about. In those essays, I can write non-stop, but as a college student, in my experience, “free write” topics are rarely given, which brings a weak spot to me. If there is no free write assignment, often times it is a topic I cannot relate to. I need to learn how to get out of my comfort
What are your thoughts about you as the writer? My thoughts about myself as a writer is I’m pretty confident in my writing but their are a few things I need to work on. I need to work on capitalizing the first letter in the beginning of a sentence and capitalizing my I in a sentences. Work on using punctuation in the right way like putting a commas instead of putting period’s all the time. Also I need to work on Putting things in the right order like not bouncing back and for from one subject
I am Mariela Barragan and I am in your Tuesdays and Thursdays Freshman Composition class. To me a writer is someone who is creative, who really loves to write, and someone that can express ideas and feelings into words and puts it out there for others to read about. I don't consider myself to be a writer because first of all I don’t like writing and second of all I have a lot of difficulty expressing my ideas into words. I don’t like writing. I never did and to be honest I don't think that I’ll
Although I’ve always seemed to enjoy writing, I never categorized myself as an outstanding writer. As I advanced through each grade is school, I noticed that while I had no problems with writing, other students seemed to despise it. The frustrating part about this was the fact that these students often obtained higher grades, even though they hated to write. This never discouraged me, however it did make me think about what it was that my writing lacked. Once I broke down my writing process, I realized
From 2nd to 7th grade, I used to think of myself as a good writer. I would write my papers and have my mom double check them, and most of the time, they didn’t have too many mistakes. By the time I was in 6th and 7th grade, I was on my own and didn’t need her to check them anymore. Seeing as my mother was a teacher, she knew the importance of good grades and instilled that same mindset in me. I averaged As and Bs and held this average with ease up until 8th grade. I came into 8th grade very confident
I don’t consider myself a very good writer. I write when I am made to or when I have something that I need to say that I can’t just tell someone. I keep a diary. Usually my diary is just a record of what I have done that day. It’s not so much about my feelings. I don’t really like talking about my feelings, usually because most of the time I am confused about what exactly I am feeling. I tend to keep the feelings that I do have to myself, to protect myself from getting hurt. I
I never would have considered myself as a writer but now that I think about it I write about things all the time. Sometimes I write about what I’m doing or what I have done that day but everyday its something different. The way I write is through texting or sometimes in a journal before I go to bed. Even at work I write things done to remind me of what I have to do then I check it of my list. A good example of writing everyday is when I have school. I’m constantly writing notes whether it be in math
else, I want to become a better writer through this class. Learning how to write essays that are up to par for college is a necessary evil that I hope to work on. On an educational standpoint I want to improve myself as much as possible. My course load is going to be difficult to say the least. Being able to manage my time and still be able to do what I want is going to be a struggle for me. I have an unfortunate history with english
obtained in advance helped me to overcome my doubts, for I exceeded my expectations; surprisingly good grades and comments are a delight, owing to the fact of that I don’t tend to think of myself as being proficient at writing. Consequently, the assignments given to me this school year shaped me into who I am as a writer. When I just entered eighth grade, I had a limited experience of
My Autobiography of Myself as A Writer Coming back to school after a ten-year break was the best choice I made. When I started this English 102 class with Dr. Brockman, I didn’t feel that I was a great writer. I knew I had so much to stay; the struggle was putting in on paper. I knew that regardless of how hard this class was for me, I was going to see it through. I produced 3 major papers to this class. My First paper was on Advertising titled Off with Her Head; My second paper was written on
