Reflection About Self Thinking

Writing is not just marking letters, words, or symbols on a piece of work. My perspective states that writing is not just expressing yourself through words; in fact, it is mostly one’s expression; your emotions, thoughts, beliefs, etc. Correspondingly, according to myself, writing is extremely artistic and evocative way to reveal one self’s personality. Most important, I am in the creative writing class, because I desired to be in it, due to the fact that it is my passion, it is a way I can express myself thoroughly, and it makes me feel as if I am in a whole different world where I can reveal everything I desire.

Even to this day I still think the same about writing and do my writing assignments

However, most of the time I will despise writing and try to avoid it as much as possible. The reason I do not like writing is, because I frequently have so much to say and I cannot grasp a way to organize everything. When I write for enjoyment I will mainly write about the thoughts in my head and nonchalantly caring if it makes sense or not. It’s like the difference between a doodle and a drawing. A doodle is just a “whatever” picture. It is just randomly drawn and it won’t matter if the lines are straight or not. In a drawing everything has to be perfect and neat. I enjoy to “doodle” write and just write my thoughts out about anything, I am afraid to publicly say. I’ve been taught to write by having teachers just tell me what they want me to write. The part about me learning to write I kind of have taught myself using some of the knowledge that previous teachers have given me. Not only, but I also, face several challenges as a writer like the lack of creativity and writing descriptively. When I write, I like to just state my point or main idea, but I struggle with describing it in depth and explaining my main idea as specific as possible. Some writers make a drama and explain everything so clearly and their emotions, however I am not that type of

My expressiveness allows me to convey emotion while telling a story. This ability has made writing an important outlet for my feelings. I stay away from constructed pieces, and instead use writing as more of an art form. With flowing verses instead of rigid paragraphs, I manage to use my pen as an outlet of my thoughts. My writing shows my passion for the topics I choose to my readers and often looks at a different side of seemingly matter-of-fact circumstances.

Writing has never been a real interest of mine. The only time I had to write any of my thoughts on paper was in school. I believed that one had to have that special trait or gift in them that made them a good writer, just like athletes are gifted in their sport. After reading the articles by Pat Mora and the other one from George Orwell, there can be many reasons as to why anyone would like to write.

I am currently a student at the University of Texas at San Antonio for almost a whole semester now. I came to this school straight out of high school, not knowing what I was getting myself into. During my high school years, I was good at every subject except my writing class. Coming to UTSA, I knew I was going to struggle in my writing class, but that didn’t discourage me from not trying my best in the course. Going through the English program, I realized that I have some strengths and weaknesses in the class, and it encouraged me to do better. The essays I have written for this class demonstrate that I have developed a strong thesis, organization skills, and detail; however, I still need to improve on grammar, keeping the POV, and citing.

Flannery O’Connor, a great American novelist, once said that she writes because “I don’t know what I think until I read what I say.” Writing is not just a torture device that English teachers bestow on students. We write for the ability to express ourselves and to set memories in stone for the future.

In my opinion the only time I ever wrote anything was for homework assignments I was assigned throughout school. I can remember writing was my favorite subject compared to the rest growing up; it was the only subject I didn't hate. I always looked at writing as a competition and I thrive off of competition.

Writing about a topic you like is what makes writing enjoyable. In fact, writing is an act of creativity and it can be very enjoyable. What I enjoy about writing is seeing the world differently and mostly being immersed in the world I've created, and all about creating my own believable world and characters. Writing is the art of discovering what I believe in. Playing what is in my mind on paper, and sharing this knowledge with people. In my opinion writing is the best communication rather than speaking. I personally have a hate/love relationship with writing. I have a lack of

We would build our journals on Monday, gluing all the parts in place, and then we would respond and decorate them with "elements from the story" during our reading workstations and any other moment of extra time we had. My students told me journaling was one of their favorite things to do. How many times do you hear that! In fact, as I was putting together the journal entry together for the very last story in Treasures one of my students said, "Is that the last one... I really like them." This was a surprise to me as his journals were never that spectacular, but he appreciated them and he was proud of his work. Their journals became their prized possessions and something they would pull out to show visitors. I have published my journals at my Teachers Pay Teachers store.

I added this entry to our journals to help my students understand that good readers use fix-up strategies as they read. It goes hand in hand with our school district's initiative, CSR or Collaborative Strategic Reading. CSR is a required strategy in most subject areas at our district.

Writing is the tool I use to process my emotions and convey my feelings to others. Creative and freestyle forms of writing are what I enjoy. Writing has been a part of my journey for many years. I write a lot. I write often. Since I share some of my writings publicly on social media, I am regularly complimented on my writing. Some people go as far as to ask me to write a blog or even a book. Writing allows me to face fears, conquer trials, and learn more about myself and others.

Writing, it has it’s good, and it’s bad. Regardless of who you are however, you have had an experience with it. College, High School, Middle School, etc. We all have written something at some point in our lives.

Writing your thoughts, feelings, concerns and plans for the future can help you relief stress, be

Writing has always played a huge role in my life. I’ve been reading writing for as long as I can remember as I have an immense love of reading. This love would grow into a love for writing as well; I still stumble upon journals and writings from my five-year-old self about the happenings in my kindergarten class. As time would go on I would discover academic writing, and how to convey my thoughts on what was the topic of student that particular year or semester in my schooling. Later, writing would become a constant for me, and a comfort; I was known to my friends as always having a journal, and a pen on my person. I learned to write down my feelings and my thoughts, song lyrics that were in my head, reflections for the day. I learned how
