Through My Creative Writing And Reading Experience, I Have

Ever since I was a little girl I have avoided writing. I have always seen it as a daunting experience. I did not like writing my own stories, unlike other kids my age. I much more enjoyed reading and escaping to new realms. Writing has never interested me even though I believe I’m pretty good at it. However, as I was forced to write as I grew up I had to learn how to cope with writing and learn how to write well. I always write in silence because it makes me focus on my assignment, but right now

Reflection My conception of the class, before entering, was that a struggling writer turned professor would be going to great lengths telling us how to write and how not to write. Of course, with me being a veritable writer who happened to need to take a writing related course not for the improvement of my writing, but for the acquisition of the credential. I was going to stubbornly disregard all reproaches, suggestions, and ‘improvements’ and trudge forward headstrong in my unalterable style. I did not

Anxious Joy Looking back on my life in regards to literacy is very dichotomous. The dichotomy of joy and anxiety that comes from taking reading and writing, a whole new world of expression and understanding, and applying a grading system to it. Through my own experiences with reading and writing from childhood and on I will show exactly what I mean when I say anxiety and joy. When I was a child I loved being read to, it was my absolute favorite. My mom likes to remind me that I would often pull a book

shaped my own character and made me the young lady that I am today. Language allows us to negotiate. Without language, society would not be able to function because there is no communication. We cannot learn properly because it hinders our well-being that enables us to evoke feelings and thoughts. Even though language has made an impact in my life through interacting with individuals on an interpersonal level, it has improved my reading and writing abilities because of two major events in my life.

I remember reading by the age of 3. My mom taught English to preschool and middle school students. Looking at albums that had pictures of my childhood, I found that since age 2, I was already surrounded by educational charts, such as the alphabet, shapes, the different land forms and water forms, the traditional attires of men and women across the globe, etc. My mom would tell me about how much I loved to learn since I was a child. At the age of 3, she and my dad would take turns to read me a story

about how reading, and writing changed my life drastically for good. During my journey, I have received lots of knowledge of reading, and writing, yet still learning. I am a bilingual student and I was born in November,1,1994, Cuba. My main language is Spanish, and the second one is English. Everything started When I was three years old, and the first thing that I learned it was the alphabet. My mother taught me the alphabet herself along the numbers, but that is another story. However, I learned in

I enrolled in Creative Writing as a challenge to myself to branch outside of my comfort zone of reading, and reverse the roles by becoming a writer. Coming into this class, I had no previous experience creatively writing; however, I knew that in order to go into my desired profession as a developmental editor for young adult fiction, I must know how to do what I want to tell others to do, write a well formed story. Through my experience in this class, I have had the opportunity to learn about the

Memories I, like many others my age have lost track of reading and writing as we start to progress more in life. In my own mind I believe that everyone is a reader and writer no matter if they read for the experience or they write journal entries, each of these is a form of reading and writing. Once doesn't need to get paid to read or write to be considered a reader or writer. Quite simply we all are, but we all lose a sense of creativity to allows us to understand this. We stopped reading and writing

My understanding of literacy has expanded over the course of my education. At the time, it came to my understanding that literacy was just an ability to learn how to read and write. Although this has been a part of my education, over time I have come to understand that literacy is a complex journey that involves learning how to take the written word and manifest on what it means to express yourself through writing. It also involves the ability to express your opinions and feelings through the written

Writing is an art that improves through time with consistent practice and exploration of one’s skills. Prior to this class, I have always considered myself to be an efficient writer. However, my writing was limited in the scope of academic writing, due to the fact that throughout my high school career, that is the most of what was expected to be written from me. In this class I was able to dive further into my writing and explore with my skills in the context of creative writing, poetry, as well
