Personal Narrative-Cursive Writting

Distant, cold, and non-existent describes my relationship with writing. My relationship with writing has never been a close relationship. Writing has always been difficult for me. I have never hated writing, but it has been a constant challenge for me. I will be discussing my fears of writing, the value of being able to express your ideas through writing, and what excites me about writing more and more.

My feelings about writing are something a teacher does not want to here. Personally I do not like to write because I struggle at it just like reading. Another reason why I do not like writing is because it is very time consuming and I do not have the patience. Writing takes many steps and processes to have a good piece of work when I would rather skip them all too just a couple steps. When I am trying to writing I feel like I so many ideas and topics to write about, but when time comes to write. Boom nothing comes to me, and I sit there staring at my blank piece of paper stressing. Trying to focus is another reason that makes me dislike writing. Before I start the paper I am think I am going to sit down and get this paper done and over with,

Why wouldn't you want to learn cursive writing? Cursive writing is good for our minds. When writing it down on paper, you remember what you wrote better. Cursive writing is good for people that have brain injuries or weakness. All teachers need to teach their students cursive writing.

My reading and writing history began recently.Since i raised in different country, i studied simple English grammar in intermediate and high school not like what students in U.S do. Our teachers didn’t consider it as significant as our native language because all people in the country speak the same native language. Anyway, my english history began after I had moved to U.S for three years ago. I started with non credit ESL classes thereafter I took Reading 71 , Reading 81 , and English 91 at Highline community college. At South Seattle Community College, I took English 96 last winter, and now I’m taking English 99/101. In all of those classes, I enjoyed writing essays and doing peer editing.I was always eager to learn new writing

Hello, I'm Jennifer Croney, and I am a student in your Writing for Communication course this semester.

Don’t you want to be the one with amazing handwriting that’s successful? Cursive should be taught as a class in school and here’s three reasons why. First of all, students should learn this while they’re still growing so that it sticks. There’s also the fact that cursive helps students academically. Lastly, it keeps their brains active and creativity flowing. So even if someone’s in a boring 7:00 a.m. class, cursive writing can help them channel what they’re being taught fluidly into their mind and on paper. So please keep in mind as you read this, no matter what day and what age you are, cursive matters and here’s why.

Ever since I was a child, I have always had the inclination to pick up a crayon rather than a pencil. From learning how to write my ABC’s to dreading over typing eight page papers, learning how to progressively read and write has manifested into a rollercoaster within my life, emotionally, that is. But don’t get me wrong, writing has slowly inched its way into my being and will continue to stay for my journey through academia. I honestly feel that there’s some sort of creature within my mind that prevents me from deriving happiness from english-related material. Though in the midst of all the chaos, I have developed an alternate outlet to express myself. An outlet where I wouldn’t have to think about forming sentences or using words that I don’t know but use anyway. An outlet in which I find solace and truly shows who I am as a person. The outlet of art.

I love to write. It’s actually where I feel most creative. However, I don’t love to write. It is my belief that composing documents by typing them is unquestionably easier and more efficient. When one physically writes, they typically tire easily. For me, it’s usually at five sentences or so when my hand starts to cramp up. At that point, I begin to compromise in my writing, trying to get to my point as quickly as possible, so that I can just get it over with. I also find that I’m a planner when writing. I can have a whole paragraph mapped out in my head before even starting it. However, when I have to slowly and painstakingly compose with a pen or pencil, I lose many of the ideas I had going into it, and again, just want to get it over with.

I have been reading and writing for as long as I can remember. I always enjoyed reading and writing stories, even when I wasn’t in school. While reading had never been much of a struggle, I always had a hard time writing my thoughts down on paper the way that I wanted. The earliest recollections I have of myself learning to read is when I was about five years old. My mother wasn’t there when I started to learn how to read. She was deployed in Iraq at the time and I would read to her over the phone every time I got the chance. Another memory I have of my road to literacy is when I was in the first grade. Once or twice a week, we would take out our writing notebooks and write about whatever we wanted. I would usually write about what I did

Throughout this semester I believe I have grown a whole lot more than just being a better writer. I have become a better researcher, interviewer, and observer. In all of my previous English classes, the writing process was a four-hour typing session followed by one other person quickly reading through my paper. It really wasn’t much of a process at all. Over this last semester, I can honestly say I have learned a tiny part of the “process” of writing.

I read through it and overall this one is better than the first one. Good job.

To start off, I would like to state that I had great difficulty with this assignment. This may have been because of my unorthodox method of writing, which could use much improvement. Whenever I start an assignment, I typically write down a series of unconnected ideas, words, and sentences about the topic as they come to me. Afterwards, I organize these ideas into complete sentences, then paragraphs, then drafts. I realize this was why the first drafts of the summary lacked cohesion. My rough draft turned out to be 1100+ words, and did not convey wallace’s message in the proper way.

We live in a world where it is expected that a woman is an independent being outside of her man. While I mostly agree with that, it doesn’t mean I’m going to give him up to finish up my schooling.

Do we really like using cursive writing every day? We could print every word and not make our life as hard. Cursive can’t always be as useful as teachers make it seem. Cursive writing is an unneeded lesson, because it takes too much time, hurts the writer’s wrist, and causes bad legibility.

I really understand your point about free writing and based upon looking at this thread it would seem that a lot of students also share some of your views regarding free writing. I think it's just that for some writing in a short period of time without using proper punctuation can be a bit difficult since in that respect you are throwing a key part of what you have learned about writing out the window in order to write like a mad man for ten minutes.
