Why I Am Writing An Essay

As a Salem Freshman, I was required to take a “Signature” Salem class; a class that was “signature” to Salem and Salem alone. These classes were chosen based on a survey given to students before they get their schedules and all of them are rather “worldly”. At the time, I was unaware that the this “Sign” Classes were fully graded and fleshed out classes. I simply chose a class that sounded incredibly interesting without thinking about how well I would actually perform in that field. I chose a class that offered to challenge the way I think about others and how they think; a class that could help me understand people more by showing me how they come to believe things. Despite my initial confusion and eventual grade, I admit that I don’t regret taking the class because what I learned in that classroom was something I don’t believe I would have ever experienced otherwise.

What I like to have during my writing ritual is peace and quiet. The time I usually like to write is late nights because there is less distractions for me like the phone. I think that is the best time for me because I can get easily distracted. The day time is when I have all kinds of distractions and my day is pretty hectic from work, running errands, and community services I participate in. If I have any background noise it would have to be soft music like classical music or ocean waves because there is no words or people talking just music, which is very calming for me. I also like to write outside on my patio because I feel like I have space to breathe and think. I like to write all my thoughts on sticky pads and build an outline from

I use to think essays were just stupid, and that educators made students write them, because they were closeted sadists. But I wanted to continue my education, and in order to do that, I would have to write essays. So I decided to take an online course in essay writing. That was when essays were finally explained to me. You are, as the writer, suppose to be part of an academic conversation, adding on to the subject what you learned and believe. Sure it's not the same as story telling, you can't just make up stuff, you definitely have to know your stuff. You aren't there to amuse the reader, you first job is to inform, but that doesn't mean you have to bore them with blunt fact after blunt fact.

A vast majority of the students hates writing essays, but teachers are always insisting on making them write boring essays. Rebecca Schuman discusses the same issue in her article, The End of the College Essay. This article provides useful information about the useless practice of writing essays. Rebecca Schuman supports her ideas through logical reasoning, which makes her article look convincing. Essay writing has been a part of college education traditionally, and that is the only reason (apparently) that colleges insist on forcing students to write essays. Therefore, students should not be obliged to write essays.

From time to time we all hear that dreadful five letter word; “essay”. Even though I am sure that we would all like to delete the word from existence, unfortunately, it will go on being an annoying part of high school. Many students hear this word and immediately begin to worry about whether or not they have a sufficient amount of time to write it, or if they can even write an essay good enough to get an acceptable grade on it. They struggle with not knowing how to write an effective essay. Most students really struggle getting across the idea that they want to tell their readers. "When I came to write my first assignment, I cried," says Daphne Elliston (from essay writing trips you up). "I just didn't know what I was doing." The writing in

The book I Was Here by Gayle Forman had a divergent set of genres that kept me and would keep you hooked and reading all day. This is why I would most definitely recommend this romance, mystery, tragic, yet interesting novel to a majority of my friends.

When in high school you probably wrote papers, and you probably thought "hey I am pretty good at this.", but I can bet you had a teacher in high school who would warn you that your work will never be good enough for college. Especially if you keep writing the way you do. You probably got warnings from every teacher that college is going to be hard, and that you will spend countless nights working on projects due the next day. But I want you to know none of it is true. If you work hard on your homework everyday you will do just fine.

Everyone who is above the age of eighteen has a huge decision to make. The decision is who they should vote for. For the democrats they can either vote for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton or Senator Bernie Sanders. For the republican side is business man Donald J. Trump, Senator Ted Cruz, Senator Marco Rubio, and Governor John Kasich.

The American people have a lot thinking to do before they decided who they want vote for. Since these candidates have their own algorithm that they believe will work to help solve the current and future problems that our country has. Also, these candidates have

I wanted to make my project look as though it was drawn on a broken cave wall. To achieve this aesthetic, I crushed a sheet of paper to give it texture and, soaked it in coffee, to give it a brown color. Unfortunately, the coffee didn’t stain it enough so I used makeup to make the paper a darker shade of brown. Lastly, I used eyeliner to create my drawings and paper dipped in highlighter to make the golden ball in the corner of my paper. My drawing represents my past, present, and future goals and achievements. To represent my past I drew myself sitting on a bed surrounded by a clock and a dark sun. The clock symbolizes how I felt the time was flying by and I wasn't achieving anything. The sun represents the sadness I felt as I sat on my bed feeling I would never get over the road bumps blocking my path, such as being a first-generation college student, lack of money and, meeting Valencia's application deadline.

A good essay, like a good song, or book, or movie starts off strong. You are drawn in immediately and want to know more! Just because you are writing an essay and are dealing with facts and a more formal writing style, it does not mean that it should be boring.

Just as “Refuge: TallMountain and Kenny Find Their Meaning” helped me in my quest, as well did my special place paper entitled as “Not to Cry”. This paper contributed greatly to my journey as a writer. Through this paper I was able to focus on myself. I focused more on the creative side to get my point across. I was able to freely write about something I am very knowledgeable more than anyone else. Writing this paper reminded me of my family and writing about them contributes to who I am today. I felt the freedom to write what was in my heart without worrying about being judge by my readers. Before, I would always write something and worry about getting my grammar right rather than expressing how I truly feel. I was trained in high school to follow the rules of writing that caused me to not enjoy doing it so much. However, when I had the chance to attend this class I learned that my main purpose in writing is to explain my point of view of the subject. This paper reminded me of what I had learned from the past and I was able to better this personal paper that is a very significant material to my growth.

When am I most successful at writing? The perfect place to write for me is in my living room because it is more tranquil. Not only is it peaceful, it also gives me enough room to operate. An additional purpose for writing in my living room is because of the lighting. My light must be dim because it gives me a soothing mood, which helps me think. Another important aspect of writing a swell essay is the time of day I start writing. My preference for writing is in the morning because I seem to have more energy to complete tasks. Writing in the evening makes me tired and accompanied with writers block. Therefore, my best writing is acquired earlier in the day. The most essential way for me to compose a great essay is to write it on paper. This

Why Does Each Essay Matter? When someone asks you if an essay matters, what do you think of? Some might say “Do I need to know this?”, “Does this information make me smarter?”, or “Will this knowledge help me in the long run?”. Everyone thinks differently when they get asked these certain questions.

Writing has always been an important skill for me. Even though I enjoy writing, I always look forward to having my writing at perfection. With the resources I learned, I now have a better understanding for apostrophes, word usage, and essay organization. I hope what I learned from the resource will help improve and write more effectively. Not only it helps students like me to write better in college, but can be an important skill for jobs.
