Personal Writing Assignment : The Importance Of Writing

The relationship that I have with writing is complicated and we don’t always get along. Although we tend to make up even when I get frustrated and want to quit. When being assigned a paper I struggle with what to write. My words seem to never come out the way

Growing up as a very exceptional reader, reading has been a huge impact on my life. I learned to read at an early age. My parents were excellent readers also, so I made them read to me almost every day at home. I made them read to me books that

The only way you can become better at doing something is simply by continuing to work on your craft. Whether it is a hobby, an interest, or a profession, if you don't keep working, then you will remain complacent. A year ago, I thought writing was one of those things where I would just be complacent in. Not because I didn’t wanted to work harder at it, but because I thought of writing as one of those skills that came natural to you, or you did not have it at all. I always wanted my writing to improve but never knew how.

Throughout my high school career I have experience many tasks that had made an impact on my writing criteria. In the past 4 years in high school there has been some tasks where I had experienced some complications and other times where I had no problem completing the task. For me to do the task and put an excellent amount of effort I have to either relate to the topic or if it’s opinion based. Writing can be a powerful thing, it can leaf the reader have an idea of how you are as a person.

Lacking experience in writing and reading, English is my most feared subject. It is the one and only vulnerable spot in my otherwise invincible academic armor. I hate writing and I despise reading. Other than magazines, I cannot recall reading anything since "The Crucible" which was a teacher assigned book

In the past, I was able to get a good grade in my English courses without writing particularly strong papers. In ENGL 105, however, I was forced to put effort into my writing. Unlike ENGL 105, for which 90% of the grade is based on writing, my high school English classes had more lenient grading by including assignments such as reading quizzes, vocabulary quizzes, grammar exams, and Socratic seminar discussions. As a result, I was able to write mediocre essays and still receive an A for the overall class

I have never been passionate about writing, but I have always been a pretty good writer. I was always told that I wrote at a higher level through elementary school and throughout high school, I took two years of Honors English and two years of AP English. I did very well in those classes and usually received A’s on my papers. However, I have never loved writing and would often dread writing assignments.

Throughout my years of being a student I’ve written several pieces for several different classes, some I may flaunt just a bit while with other pieces I try to just turn in, get a grade, and then hide in the back of a folder in order to keep others from seeing the slightly subpar work I may have produced. While I always do try to write eloquently there has always been that one assignment in that one class in which I just try my hardest to get a good grade rather than write something I’m particularly proud of. For example, last year for AP World History I produced a well formatted, well researched paper on the Guatemalan genocide. While it was written properly I feel as though I could have provided more depth and insight on the topic being

First I usually get A’s on every writing assignment because. I listen all the time in class and if you pay attention in class you can learn some tips about writing.

In English 102 I would consider it to be the best education academic writing experience of my education. There would be times where I could say I struggled the most in class was with my grammar and word choices. Throughout my attendance, I intended to prove myself to Professor Hohmann, who is an English professor at CAC (Central Arizona College) that I can write professionally as a student. I created six assignments in the English course to prove myself that I can compose assignments and research as well as my peer college classmates. The tasks that were given to me for grades were beneficial for other classes, career and in life. One of the assignments was a research paper on a specific topic that I desired, which needed to be a debatable discussion. An additional task that helped me out with my writing was the

In high school I did not enjoy English class at all, but now in college I have a new found appreciation for it. I’ve learned many things about my writing, such as what helps me to write more effectively, different methods to better my writing, and ways to improve my grammar. Nevertheless, I believe that there will always be something from my writing that could use additional editing or revision. There’s always room for improvement for my literary and writing skills. Summarily, thanks to my Composition I class and my professor, I have learned and improved so much in my writing and reading. Writing assignments had always been stressful and annoying, but now I see them as a doable

Why do writers write? Like Stephen King said, it's not for the money, and it's definitely not for the fame. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't turn down a fat paycheck, but I started writing because it felt like something I was meant to do. I hesitated for years before I finally took the plunge and tried writing a book. There were so many excuses...not enough time...not enough talent...or ooh look, there's something shiny!

As a writer, I have learned that when I’m not comfortable with an assignment, I become apprehensive about doing it. I feel like this because I don’t have confidence that I’m doing a writing assignment correctly. But, as I do things in stages and receive feedback, such as we have been doing with this writing assignment, I tend to have more confidence about writing.

One of the high points of the class was consistently making high A’s. We wrote a variety of different types of papers, and my grade was always respectable. Succeeding in this class made me feel adequately prepared to write proper papers. Although I made impressive grades for the class, I was able to do so with only minimal effort. Therefore, I knew I could execute my papers better. The quality of my writing seemed to stay stagnant over the course of the year. This class would have been exponentially more beneficial had it challenged me to improve my writing, however it never did.

I dreaded writing assignments. When I was in college, I still didn 't like writing. I enjoyed teaching, being in front of an audience and sharing what I thought was worthwhile.
