Personal Narrative: Myself As A Writer

I don’t really like writing because whenever my teacher tells me to write about something I start to get confused on what to say then I start to get mad at myself and start to cry.The best thing I have ever written is when I had to wrote about legos, it was a nine pages and alot idioms and more.

My earliest experience with writing was my learning period that formed not only my style of writing but how I studied and the ability to apply words and concepts into a structured format. The process at first was difficult because it was my first time being exposed to structured writing which caused me to put it off until the last minute or lose interest in the topic I was writing about. The rowdy classroom was eager to release near the end of the day, but we knew we had to face one of the more uninteresting subjects of the day: middle school English.The teacher thoroughly explained our assignment which made each one of us cringe. The class finally initiated work mode and I was clueless. I would start to make progress but would be constantly

This semester involved many writings that challenged my process in ways big and small. The variety of prompts each had their own details that required me to change perspectives as well as research topics to test my abilities as a writer. The topic that I felt helped me grow as a writer the most was the Personal Narrative. This essays caused me to think in its own way and only after completion was I able to effectively use the methods it taught me in my other assignments.

First of all I would like to express my great heartfelt thanks for the time we had passed throughout the course and semester. It was interesting and nice because learning in funny way is among one of the best methodology teaching method to make students feel free rather than being annexed by professors.

Throughout my high school career, I have been exposed to many different elements of writing and, although some teachers have emphasized certain areas more than others, I feel I have come a long way as a writer. Despite this I also know I have much further to go. This fact became very clear to me as I was taking my previous course of English, Accelerated English Three. Within this course I was introduced to the MLA method of citation, I experienced disappointment due to receiving a lower grade than I had desired, and I discovered difficulties such as my impatient tendencies to look over errors and mistakes during the editing processes.

I grew up in Panama City, a beautiful country located in Central America, like many other kids I learned how to read and write in home, and in the school at a very young age. However, I learned how to read and write in Spanish which is my native language. Books have been part of my life since I was a kid, I remember reading story books, comics, and classic stories with my parents almost every night after school. Both, my mother and my father would prefer reading a book than watching television, nonetheless, reading was a common thing to do in my home. Even though, I love reading, I have never been a good writer; writing have been the thing which I have struggled the most in Spanish and in English. I first started

My love for writing started when I was around ten years old. I was extremely shy growing up. I had friends but only a handful, I would rather be alone with a book or be working on a story. My writing was my escape from whatever was going on in my life whether it was my grandma being sick or getting in a fight with my older sister, all I needed was a notebook and a pen to write whatever I was feeling out. This lead to notebook upon notebook being filled with stories of the handsome prince saving the princess, or hopeful tales of a shy girl meeting her true love. I was in charge of my own little world and I could make anything and everything happen. As I grew older I kept writing, even though I had outgrown my shyness. I kept writing because

As a writer, I have improved tremendously. Over the course of the 2015 fall semester, English 015 has helped me grow as a writer in all ways possible. From hearing Dr. Duffy’s wise words regarding writing throughout class, to participating in peer review sessions, writing has become a skill that I have flourished in. As a child, I would constantly write stories and poems to express my feelings and emotions. Sadly enough, I can admit that as a lonely child, writing was my only companion and confidant. As an eight year old child, I found myself writing stories about the individuals in or around my life. After creating a satire about my mother’s workplace and the employee’s who worked there, I knew I had a gift regarding writing. I watched my

What is your relationship with writing? We all have to write, whether we like to do it or not. Writing is a crucial element to a normal, functional life. This touches work, school, family, and interpersonal relationships. Everyone’s personal dynamic with writing is a little different.

I believe my approach with writing has drastically changed throughout this semester. I have learned to become more prepared and take my time in writing my essays rather than just jumping into them without a clue of what is to come. I grew even more than I had originally expected. I’ve been able to share some things that have happened in my past, and I have been satisfied with how I was able to write them. I’ve learned more about commas and sentence structure this year than I’ve learned in the last two years combined. Two areas that still need improvement are my grammar and my commas. I do not always pay attention to what I am saying, and I just ramble on without going back to check what I wrote. Most of the time it gets pretty crazy.

My experience when it comes to writing is limited. I’ve written peoms and I’ve written school assignments, that’s it. I would not consider my writing skills strong or even college level. I would like to fix that. I would also like to be able to write about who I am without saying who I am. I want to be able to entertain people and make them laugh while at the same time inspiring them. I hope to use my real life experiences in my writing because they are unique for someone my age but things that a lot of people can relate to. For example I ran away when I was 17 years old and couch surfed with my 21 year old boyfreind who is in stage 3 kidney failure and is type one diabetic and has several other health problems. We lived off of food stamps,

My relationship with writing would be described as a complicated relationship. I have always had cruddy luck with obtaining the “superb” English teachers, and was typically stuck with the “inadequate” English teacher. This “inadequate” teacher was typically the one with little to no experience, but would grade harshly with the mindset of a Ph.D. English professor. So, my relationship with writing has steadily gone to disheartening lows. These English teachers typically prescribed writing assignments of critical analysis. While I believe critical analysis should be taught to students because of the benefits due to the fact that it can be applied to a variety of subjects that the student may be taking, I still believe that a few people lean towards writing creatively. I have always been a voracious reader, but it doesn’t seem to reflect in my writing because all the writing that I have been doing up to this point has been critical analysis of other literature. I like to read fiction and enjoy it without complicating it. This is also the reason I like to read historical and science fiction.

I am Derek and I am a student at Deer Creek. I like writing when it is a fictional piece. I am very strong with commas and prepositions, but I am weak with adjectives and MMs (Multiple Modifiers)

When I was growing up, I always had a passion for reading and telling stories. My mom has scrapbooks of my first stories written in awkward, over-sized letters complete with illustrations brought to life with crayons. Throughout my school years, I always had a book with me. The bigger the book was, the more I loved it. I was discouraged from pursuing a career in writing, but I had a passion for stories that only grew over time.

Over the course of the semester I was faced with a variety of challenges. On the surface, writing a play and directing that original work is a lot harder than I gave it credit for, initially. On a deeper level, senior project allowed me to overcome some personal obstacles regarding my social side. I thought by putting myself out there as a director and playwright that I would allow myself to do something that scared me; asking people for help and for things I need.
