The top shelf of my closet contains a towering, rather intimidating pile of notebooks. A few of them are completely blank, devoid of anything besides blue college-ruled lines. Most, however, are well-worn, with pages upon pages covered in handwritten rainbows of ink and graphite. Even though their contents may not be worth the space, and they are completely filled, I cannot bring myself to throw those notebooks away. They are a part of my history. I’ve always been inclined towards language; my first

- 17: I've been planning my college essay since freshman year. Seeing everything that happens as something I could write about; looking for some deeper theme in everything I've done or seen. This past year I've written countless drafts about dozens of experiences, and they've all felt forced. Because they were. And though I could have sent an essay with a hidden meaning I've concocted, I have decided to take a risk. - 16: fun fact, I'm not a risk taker. I've learned to fly under the radar, make it

Writing is freedom. For those that read and those that compose, writing is the release of imagination, consciousness, and progress. Whether it is works like the Code of Hammurabi, Thomas Paine’s Common Sense, or Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf, this release has played a vital role in shaping today’s world by upholding, constructing, and tearing down reality. This means that reality has been positively and negatively impacted by the power of writing. With this outlook, how can anyone decide whether writing

My literacy skills have grown and progressed throughout this course in the way that there have been a lot of things that I have learned and that I have been continuing to learn. When I first started this course, I did not know how to write an essay, I learned to use the before, during, and after reading technic, and I learned what a summary paragraph was. But now with this course, I have written a couple of assignments which have helped me keep learning. Firstly, I did not know how to write an essay

For my first artifact, I would like to analyse the CR 2: Shakespeare assignment. I feel that the assignment shows some of my strengths and weaknesses as a writer, which makes it important to analyze. Firstly, I chose this assignment because I feel like I did not put a lot of effort into this prompt. I did not fully know what I wanted to say in response to the prompt, and decided that since it needed to be done, I should “wing it”, so I just wrote down ideas I thought were semi-relevant to the prompt

For my satire project, I chose the topic of the struggle of customer service and how it can influence you psychologically. The reason I chose this topic was because I am in fact a part time worker at a fairly busy ice cream/ fine chocolate shop in which our primary goal is to keep the customer happy and satisfied. But sometimes, the process of doing that can be challenging and draining for the employee, such as myself. Therefore I chose a topic that I felt passionate about and that I could physically

Hello, To begin with, I received my Assignment 3 feedback yesterday and I am very happy with the feedback/grade I received. The grade itself was higher than that of the previous assignment which made me feel good as it shows I am slowly improving in certain aspects of my writing. I still need to work on my comma usage, review subject-verb agreement and review topic sentences for a summary paragraph. Next, I would like to talk about sentence variety, which I mentioned in my last post. This time,

GLPO Essay The first semester of my sophomore year I’ve decided to take the AP European History class so it made my first semester kind of difficult, it required for me to do more work that involved reading. This AP European class has helped me grow as a student to communicate ideas, for example my group and I were assigned a scientist and we had to present to the class why our scientist was so important. I have also grown as a student in investigating the world in my English class, we read different

My English Failures and Accomplishments My last English class was English 2. English has never been the easiest subject for me. Through much trial and error I have overcome some things, yet fail to overcome others. While I am strong in being able to correct the mistakes I make in my writing, I need to strengthen my abilities in setting up my essay and finally overcome the difficulty I have with my reading comprehension skills. Understanding a topic or passage that I will have to write about later
