Personal Narrative: Myself As A Writer In France

My relationship with writing is hard, my writing doesn’t always flow well. My writing also doesn’t always come easily to me. More often than not, I have to sit and think for long periods of time, for to come up with ideas on how to start my essays. When I start with paper and pen my hand will start aching, and that makes it difficult to concentrate on what I am trying to express through my writing as it takes my mind off what I am currently thinking of writing down. Writing is the course I have always struggled with the most throughout high school, and through my first year of college.

Writing is a key in everyday life, whether it is going unrecognized or not communication is largely dependent on writing rater then face to face relations. Growing up writing an essay or a story wasn’t always as important as sending that one text out to a friend. Many times instead of working on an assignment people tend to text, and write on social media instead. Although by doing this in the end, you are still writing, although for some it doesn’t count as that text maybe something they are passionate about unlike their assignment. The concept of writing then goes unacknowledged and isn’t looked at as a fun activity for many. This tends to happen after submitting assignments and not receiving the grade you may

When I sit to write, I have to think about what I want to say. This is not easy for me as I tend to think about several things at once. Clearing my mind and focusing on the writing task is a challenge in itself. I do not consider myself a strong writer and find it intimidating especially when I know it will be critiqued. The sense of failure when seeing the paper I worked so hard on look like the newest local headline of a recent murder is disheartening for me. I assume I am being overly critical of myself but those feelings seem to be redeemed when I look over the aftermath of what was my wonderful work of mental art.

My writing has improved greatly over the years. Now, I am able to write much longer papers, my writing is more detailed, my writing is straight, I am able to write in different styles, and my letters aren't shaped weirdly anymore. All and all, my writing has improved a good amount. I still do not enjoy writing that much. I am really enjoying math and science right now. The writing that I do like, is writing about a subject that I choose with no guidelines. My past writing pieces that I have done, have been the personal narrative (in 6th grade), and the researched based writing project (also in 6th grade). Both of those projects I did not enjoy that much, because we worked on those two projects for a long time. Even thought I do not enjoy writing

I have never really considered myself a good writer I have always had problems with starting a paper and sometime even finishing it. I also have problems writing sentences that are too long or finishing a thought, as well as figuring out where to put a semicolon or coma because I tend to just write whatever comes to my

Writing isn’t for everyone, yet the number of people writing in this exact moment is pretty monstrous if you google it. Writing has basically been there for me since I was born, it was there when they wrote my birth certificate, when i was learning how to write my name, when i wrote my first essay, taking the STAAR tests, practicing for the AP test, to my first writing assignment for college. People are gifted with creating such rich, breathtaking, emotional, and deep work that last for generations and generations (not me), but writing has not always been a friend to me. The process of writing is not just write and your done, no you need to take time and let your ideas gush out (duh you already knew that) but also to edit and revise to make those final drafts. Writing can be a huge pain in the buttocks (ass), but it isn 't that bad. Here are some of my issues and strengths about writing and my take on it.

Although I’ve never consider myself a writer, I think I can write some pretty good stories that can draw attention from my audiences, especially fictional narratives. Besides drawing attention from my audiences, I also think my writings have good punctuation. But although I have some strengths in writing, I have some weaknesses, the process of starting a writing are the hardest, I doubt myself about what to write, how to write, and usually seen examples or seek help before I start writing, but after

I have never been particularly confident about my writing. Academically, I survived Composition I and did not do as poorly as I thought I would since I do not even remember what I wrote in high school. In the workplace, most of my writing consists of short emails to coworkers and notes on the teacher’s lesson plan (I am a teacher’s aide), but those are not usually in complete sentences or paragraphs. Learning to write complete sentences that flow smoothly and coherent paragraphs with strong transitions is therefore one of my main goals for improving my writing. I also fear writer’s block. I have limited time to do my writing assignments, so if I sit down to the keyboard and no ideas are flowing out of my fingers, I am totally lost. Last term

I have many talents, except I would have to say writing is not at the top of that list. I am not a terrible writer, actually people tell me I am fairly good. The main problem is, I am not confident in my writing abilities. Writing assignment can be tough because it takes me awhile to fully grasp my ideas for the paper; which causes me to struggle starting an essay. There are several thoughts and opinions running rampant around my mind, so I have trouble taming them all; which causes me to spend excess time on a paper. Finishing my essays was a major struggle last year in AP Literature; the forty five minute time frame would end right before I started my conclusion. Hopefully this school year I can work on planning and organizing my ideas prior

Learning to be an adequate writer is something I strive for but don’t feel I have yet accomplished. In the past, I can remember spending countless hours sitting and thinking what I should write about. I think my biggest problem is figuring out how to actually put on paper what I am thinking. I am also concerned that the paper I write will not fully express what I am actually trying to say. I have found that if I am in a situation where I have to think of something on the spot or I am timed, I feel very overwhelmed and freeze up. However, I feel one of my strengths would be that I feel fairly comfortable with the rules of grammar and I enjoy that part of English. I can remember in high school I always did really well on my grammar test

Overall, I’ve had a rather decent experience with writing; in high school, it was never something I found myself looking forward to, but even despite my general distaste for essay-writing, I always managed to get through it with at least a decent grade. I’ve always considered myself skilled in the usage of grammar and generally capable in the art of sentence structure; however, I can’t toot my own horn for much else. Even with acceptable grammar skills, I tend to have a difficult time coming up with what to write. I struggle to get inspired and even when I do discover the occasional bout, it only tends to last about fifty words before I, yet again, hit another unsurpassable wall, followed then by me getting distracted. Because of my generally

Writing has always been the subject I despised messing up I never took easy as a child and writing always seemed to be the only class I messed up in they myth with hating writing and not having anything to say stuck with me for years.Even today as a young woman I absolutely do not like to write this has been a struggle for me and its something I never got over because I felt I didn't need to write perfect because I seen no point in all the correct grammar and correct format in writing.I can write just enough to get by but I tend to wonder off when doing essays and and thing the has to do with a paper.I don't understand most of the writing materials and that my issue when writing a paper to be perfect it takes time to get back in to the hang

Writing has always been something I dread. It’s weird because I love talking and telling stories, but the moment I have to write it all down on paper, I become frantic. It’s almost as if a horse race just begun in my mind, with hundreds of horses, or words, running through my mind, unable to place them in chronological order. Because I struggle to form satisfying sentence structure, it takes me hours, sometimes even days, to write one paper. It’s not that I think I’m a “bad writer,” I just get discouraged easily. Needless to say, I don’t think highly of my writing skills. When I was little I loved to both read and write. I read just about any book I could get my hands on, and my journal was my go to for my daily adventures. Although it’s

The struggle around writing, for me, is in the first few sentences. I have discovered throughout this course that an introductory paragraph can take a week. This paragraph, as I write it right now, has taken me two days to initiate. For me, starting a writing piece is like jumping off a high dive: the hardest part is stepping off the edge. Once you’re off the board the rest flies by until you’ve reached the end.

I decided to take French in middle and high school. In the beginning French used to be mind bogglingly difficult with its seemingly arbitrary rules and conjugations. Eventually, a moment came when everything finally made sense, as if a cartoon light bulb had turned on in my head. French became a passion: I read French novels and articles and I listened to French music and podcasts. And yet, I craved more. I spent my summer after junior year seriously pursuing proficiency in French by taking a language immersion course in Montpellier through Oxbridge Academy. This gave me the opportunity to take classes in French, speak French constantly, and experience French culture firsthand. Being able to speak French in France made me feel like a local, as if I had earned entry into a culture that was not my own.
