Personal Narrative: Improvement To Come

A primary strength in my writing is my ability to present a strong argument with clarity and support. Another strength I have in writing is a considerable knowledge of appealing to audiences and I take full advantage of my persuasive nature to create solid arguments. Additionally, I find that my writing is enhanced with an extensive vocabulary and a firm grasp on the English langue. I believe these things, the ability to make a sound argument, a strong capacity to appeal to an audience and firm control of vocabulary and language conventions make me a good

When I first started English 101, I saw myself as having a few good strengths and a lot of weaknesses as a writer. Some of my strengths included being able to write a good introduction minus the thesis part. I also saw myself as knowing how to write a good conclusion that summarized what I talked about in my essay and being able to understand a article or essay by knowing what the author was talking about. Some of the improvements I saw in my writing thorough out the semester is learning how to write an essay where I can communicate with the audience with my own personal voice. I also feel I improved on knowing how to properly include quotes and how to find good creditable sources to include in my essay and on how to include both sides of a argument in my paper. Another improvement I found in my papers is learning how to revise them and approach each essay. However, there are some items of writing that I believe I improved on but still needs some work. For example, even though I have learned all about the rhetorical appeals and how to determine them in a essay, I still feel as if I do not know how to properly included them in my essay. I also see myself as improving on knowing how to write a thesis but still need work on

Growing up with a father in the military, you move around a lot more than you would like to. I was born just east of St. Louis in a city called Shiloh in Illinois. When I was two years old my dad got the assignment to move to Hawaii. We spent seven great years in Hawaii, we had one of the greatest churches I have ever been to name New Hope. New Hope was a lot like Olivet's atmosphere, the people were always friendly and there always something to keep someone busy. I used to dance at church, I did hip-hop and interpretive dance, but you could never tell that from the way I look now.

I began writing with basic vocabulary and barely any sentence variety. As the year progressed, I learned to advance my vocabulary and word choice in addition to incorporating a diversity of sentence structure. Nearing the end of the school year, I acknowledge that I have grown and learned more about writing. I anticipate that I will receive even more arduous writing assignments that require more research and time. Although it will be challenging, I feel confident that I will do well because I feel well prepared from all I’ve done this year. As I grow older, I will have to continue to write. I know I can take the knowledge I’ve learned this year and apply it to future papers for years to

Although I have many strengths, I equally have my weaknesses. One of my major weaknesses is that my revision techniques aren’t as strong as it needs to be, by this I mean that I have the material which is required for the revision, however I do not know how to revise effectively. Although I can speak in public without fear, or voice my opinion without having any difficulties, I am unstable when it comes to writing, I have the basic grammar but because I only moved into England half way through year 4, I

There I was on the block next to the High Bar. It was about 5:00 at night when my coach told me to do a Kip. As I got up on the bar my nose filled with the smell of chalk. I started to swing, and as I came out of my half turn I looked good. Everything seemed fine but as I came to the part of the Kip where I have to pull my legs up to the bar, I slammed my shins into the bar. My momentum was stopped and I dropped on to the mat, missing the Kip. I felt like I had let down my coach and I had let down myself too. That day I experienced failure. That failure made me want my Kip even more so I worked harder and had support from my teammates.

Although I have weaknesses, I also have strengths. One that I have found to be my biggest are my descriptions or “powerful lines.” A few others include creative writing, research, and writing conclusions.

The first paragraph is my introduction which I have strengths and weaknesses, but my weaknesses are greater . I do have trouble with introductions, So on the first paper I got a seven when it was graded a "Seven means I have something wrong with my introduction"(Cupp). I got a seven because I did not explain how the topic of "Shutdown Your Screen Week" came about. I corrected this mistake by explaining how I got to the topic of "Shutdown Your Screen Week". For instances, I wrote "Dear

Once these weaknesses were revealed, I worked on improving my current works. There were several elements I had

As a one year old child when my parents first moved to Stump Tavern Road in 1959 when my father was stationed at McGuire AFB, I have seen the metamorphous of Jackson from a sleepy rural township into a suburban bedroom community. After college, I chose to return to Jackson and raise my Jewish family here for the same reasons so many choose it today; the quality of life, public school system, and aesthetics of the countryside. It is with this background I am writing to you today to applaud your courage and foresight and voice my full support of Ordinances #03-17 and #04-17 for a complete ban of dormitories in all residential and commercial zones. Unrestrained development is environmentally unsustainable and as the caretakers of this town

In searching for my weaknesses and strengths I found that the easiest to identify were my weaknesses. I also realized that I could identify more things I struggled with rather than excelling at. The biggest weakness I believe that I have is creating a closing sentence for my paragraphs. When I do create a closing sentence, they tend to be very boring. Another weakness I believe I have is my sentence grammar, such as misplacing modifiers, apostrophe usage and the lack of subject-verb agreement. My weaknesses may seem minimal but they hold massive power in creating an essay and even in everyday life!

Have you ever been so desperate for something that you modify your motive in its entirety? Throughout my life I’ve found myself placed in this frightening situation multiple times; the most confusing of which would be what I’ve endured this year. People in their 20s have it rough. We’re old enough to feel like we’re supposed to know what we’re doing, yet young enough to roll in the tide aimlessly and clueless and it still be acceptable. Then there’s those of us who believe we’ve got it all figured out only to be proven tremendously wrong. I have learned, however, that being tremendously wrong can lead you right where you need to be.

My weaknesses could have been the overall structure of my essay. I was getting really into the writing, like the progression of my “conversation”: the author and the author’s work and the articles regarding the work of the author, and once I was finished, I realized I only have 4 solid pages of work. So I went back and tried to insert more examples,

My most recent writing course was English 102, which I took last year. I've also completed all of the lower division degree requirements, some of which were heavy on writing (anthropology, critical thinking, etc.). I tend to score well in writing classes and generally don't get a lot of feedback about where I need to improve. I think my weaknesses are centered around being too direct; sometimes it's hard for me to meet a word count while keeping everything clear and concise. I'd like to improve my ability to make content flow without being redundant or frivolous. Additionally, I'd like to work on being thorough and providing enough detail without feeling like I'm wasting space on the page. I believe that these weaknesses are also my strengths

Placing his hands on his knees, he takes a deep breath holds it for a count of seven the breaths to a count of five.. Repeating the routine several times until everyone knows what to do, Sly dismissed the class saying, ”We will start in the morning at nine sharp.”
