I totally agree with what the author is saying in the text. It takes time to get a good product out even though we think some people are deep and wonderful they still have the same struggles that we have when it comes to writing. I like this text because it is realistic it is giving an account of first drafts from common day people and shows how it is even for professional writers have problems with. This point is important because as people we sometimes feel we are not as good or capable of doing something not realizing that the people we look up to have the same problems we do. Another point that I agree with the author on is that you have to start somewhere. Many times as writers we don’t know where to start when it comes to writing. That being said we will just sit and think for ten twenty minutes when we could've just been information on the paper and then editing it later. In addition I liked that the author used examples from his professional experience when it came to writing food reviews. By him using details like how he went to the restaurant and sat down with friends and took notes of what was said. This was good to me because it helps me connect with him and the things that he does to write his reviews.

"Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life" (Confucius). Growing up under a conservative father, I never considered art as a profession even though it was always where my heart belonged. My parents wanted me to become a doctor or a lawyer, and I blindly thought that was the way to go. However, I made a life-changing decision to become a fashion designer when I watched a fashion show clip of Christian Dior couture collection in high school. Driven by the energy and excitement of the runway, I thought of creating work like that. My father didn't approve, and he told me that I should not turn my hobby into my profession because I would end up not enjoying it. Despite his advice, I showed him the quote above and told him that I want to spend my life following my passion instead of being forced to do something else.

Some people work with their brain, body, or even their voice, I was born to work with my hands. From the time I was big enough to keep a good balance, I was on construction sites with my dad. We did everything, rarely ever the same thing twice in a row. One day may have been roof repair, the next, maybe restinciling handicap parking spot paint. Eventually I had the cliche feeling that I hated work. I dreaded doing anything in the handyman profession. I had no connection between passion and the job I was doing. Strangly enough my passion revealed itself while doing the same thing I had always done, building a house. Around the time I graduated highschool my dad bought 40 acres of land right off of the highway with hopes of my siblings and I settling close together to raise our children in a confined, safe neighborhood. As we all got older we saw the better than average opportunity to own our own home. It was all right there for us to utilize. We had all of the means needed to clear land, build a house, everything, from start to finish. Except for a water well.

I would occasionally open up Adobe Illustrator and start crafting an idea I had, but I would soon lose my train of thought and end up staring at my computer screen wondering why didn’t have any creative ideas. After weeks of getting nowhere on the designs, I had yet to contact the client and was starting to feel embarrassed for taking on more than I could handle. It was inevitable that this one question pop into my head: how could I possibly make a living in a field based on my creative ideas if I don’t even have the drive to create a single logo? That is when I finally realized my problem; it wasn’t that I had no creative ideas, it was that I looked at the project as a side job, which caused me think of it as somewhat unimportant. Once I opened my eyes and realized the true importance of the tasks I was involving myself with, I started to have more focus. I began to involve myself more heavily in my graphic design work. I have since created an official logo for a friend’s summer business as well as multiple icons for my brother’s

Since my early years, I have been infatuated with business and making money. At the age of eight, my grandmother gave me a computer for Christmas. So, I began writing books and started my own publishing company. I wrote a series of books and marketed them to my entire family. Using colored pencils, I created postcards and addressed them to every relative in my family and successfully sold books. Next thing I knew, I found myself hiring my cousin as my illustrator. It was apparent to me and my family that I was mesmerized with business as I ended up firing my cousin as her work wasn’t up to my standards. By the time I was ten, I started my own bakery business called "Jason's Cakes." With the help of my mother, I made cupcakes, cookies, and fudge

I organized my own work and volunteer experience including a course I took in high school working with student special needs; assisting in lessons, particularly with reading and math. Taking them to the outside, showing them how to shop and be able to pay for their items. This gave me an insight into how different disabilities impacted on the lives of the children, for some it affected concentration whilst others were unable to hold a pen properly. I want the opportunity to work with people to overcome such problems. I also work at a hospital. Where I a Certified Nursing Assistant, I spent time talking to patients as well as helping them with the activities of daily living. Many patients had dementia and communicating with them allowed me to

The work i do shows what type of person i am and what type of person i will be in the future. I noticed it also shows what type of parents i have and sometimes this is bad because if my parents aren't really how my work shows then i only taint my last name and it is purely sadding. When the time comes for me to get a job which is very soon i need to step my work up and show quality and my effort. This is the reality i need to realize if not then my first job is going the hit me like a truck

As a child I loved to tinker and fiddle with things & my mother Mary encouraged me and I Later got a pocket watch and disassembled it and reassembled it, people shocked with my talent had me fixing their timepieces also.

In the grand game of life there is always a simple question; where is the end, where is the beginning? How will my journey effect my life and will it affect it in a positive manner. For me this began in the 1301 classroom where the discussion of English essays where the main topic. For someone such as myself, the thought of writing sent chills down my neck. This is mainly due to my aversion to the English language that I have struggled with for so long. That brings not only me but anyone who struggles the same to think about how something such as composition will affect the future. By taking composition I have come to realize that it is a much needed ability. Composition is used everywhere from home to the workplace, whether it be an essay to an email. Saying so I have come to terms that I am terrible at it, and that has made me try harder to understand and use it in a professional manner. To start my composing process I try to choose a location with minimal noise because of my ADD, and with minimal distractions it lets me think hard about the topic. After I have the proper location I start the process by thinking about the topic at hand and if I have any experience. Once that the thesis must be composed and there I have begun writing an essay. That is the process that I have learned to make a well-planned and thought out essay. When it comes to writing a person needs to be well versed in it so that they may bring the topic that they choose towards the reader.
