Overall, I enjoy writing. Preferably, I find comfort in writing without expectation or criticisms. I am familiar with the areas of my writing that need improvement, but my apprehensions stem from lack of time, discipline, and focus. It is undeniable that I enjoy writing as a free form of expression to keep secrets or share, it is a leisure for me. So, I will not take the time necessary to hone my skill set any further than what required of me during my academic career. When it comes to discipline and focus I find myself passionately articulating and editing my thoughts when I have an interest in what I am writing. Yet, when the subject matter is not captivating I do not put in nearly as much effort as I would if my heart was in it. Writing
How to become a good writer. There is some major difference between highschool and college essay. High school and college are different things for writing an essay because it's exploring your more skills on writing. In high school, I never had experience as writing essay or speeches. Because in high school, it is not require that every student have to write an essay on academic ways. If a student doesn’t want to write essay academic way, then for a student can write an essay on his ways. Because in my high school, it does not require that everyone have to follow the MLA/APA format. We just had to finish the essay, because it’s required to graduate from high school. But when I started my first semester in college, and the professor gave us first assignment writing about the introduction of an essay. I was really get stressed on that time, because I really don’t understand what to write introduction in essay. But I try my best on my first assignment. Writing my three essays has taught me how to write the essay in academic way, how to format them correctly, and analyse the text and question before writing the essay.
I became the literate person I am today by mostly writing, I write all the time and I do a little reading. What made me love writing was the fact I found an escape, not on an emotional level, but writing is something to help ease in my opinion. My personal writing has influenced me more than the writing I was assigned in school, I continued it outside of school as a choice of my own, once I started I never stopped. My viewpoint on reading is different than my viewpoint on writing, reading is not that bad but it can get boring. What made me feel different about reading from writing, is probably the fact, reading just takes time, like when I write, I write any and everytthing however I want. But, to read a book, I have to read it a certain way
Write down for both your writing - as well as for your audio-visual skills what your strengths and weakness are. Be concrete and detailed. Give evidence / arguments why you think this is so. Below some sentences are given which may help you on your way.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been writing, both inside and outside of class. While I haven’t always been drawn to reading classics, I have spent a lot of time reading in general, and it always seemed to encourage me. I was easily inspired by the words on the pages coming to life in my mind, and even more fascinated by the fact that the image almost certainly looked different to every individual who took the words in themselves. I’ve always enjoyed being able to paint images in the minds of others and intrigued to learn just how much different it must look to each person who took in the words that I wrote. Did they look different to other people, or did everyone have the same general idea? How close were their own images to mine?
During my junior and senior year of high school at Leslie County I found a reason to enjoy writing and have fun with the thing I wrote. Every class until those years was either way too boring for me to pay attention, or the teachers really didn’t seem to care what you wrote down, they would just grade and move on it seemed. I never had a teacher who would actually look at what I wrote down and come speak to me about it, whether to praise the stuff I wrote down or to help me with small problems in my assignments. Expecting another failure of a class to sit through, I was already dreading English that day. I didn’t really know what this teacher was all about, then I met. Joel Brashear was the English teacher, he hadn’t been there very long I
As a child born to parents still growing up themselves, I believe many teachers did not see the potential in me, maybe they thought I would be lacking in initiative due to my parent's irresponsibility. Although with that being said, my parents pushed me to be better, they sat with me many nights to help me read a book I was struggling with or to rewrite my assignments more neatly. While any may think having young parents is a disadvantage, I grew up as my parents did and I think it has given me a more realistic view of my goals.
Writing. I have a conflicting past with it. When I was younger, I wrote outside of school due to a fascination with creating fictional worlds, with numerous possibilities, but as I aged, I developed a strong fear of others disliking my work. By the time I reached high school, I stopped writing outside of class entirely. The my story on writing reaches its climax two weeks before the end of my junior year of high school at Spirit Christian Academy. During this time, I considered myself to be the worst writer in the school. I also had a habit of exaggerating for emphasis. I knew that in order to improve my writing, I would need to forget my fears. My junior year, I made a choice that year that would not only pivot my academic career, but also teach me a valuable lesson about criticism and writing.
At the beginning of this Writing Composition course, I hardly had any expectations besides the excessive amount of essay assignments. Up until this course, I had only considered that this was any other ordinary writing class. My experiences with writing classes and essays have not been a fun one because I have always seen it as an annoying task. Recently, this narrow perception of mine has gradually deteriorated because of my experience in this course. I have realized that writing isn’t just another assignment, but it is a place where one can express their opinions, emotions, and experiences. This course has helped me develop my strengths like my development of thoughts and organization skills while being able to acknowledge my weaknesses like having trouble stating two positions and having biased opinions. Due to this recent realization, I have been able to get a better insight of my writing skills and a new perspective of writing classes.
There is a very real, very great distinction between remembering your first experiences with writing and remembering when you first considered yourself to be a writer.
Writing is a form of communication. It is a process of using letters of the alphabet, punctuation and spaces to communicate thoughts and ideas in a readable form. Now days writing is not only using a pen or a pencil, it can also be done with a keyboard which is normally attached to a typewriter, computer or mobile device. To write clearly it is essential to have knowledge of grammar, punctuation and sentence structure. Vocabulary is also necessary, as is correct spelling and formatting. Although all this sounds logical, it is not an easy task to accomplish and it can take several years to make yourself understand thru writing. My first experience in writing started when I was a kid but as I have grown older the way I do is different. Now that I´m in college writing is essential not only to communicate but also to learn.
How long do you think you’ve been writing for? For many, the first lessons on how to read and writer were taught all the way back in elementary school. Over the years I’ve learned more about writing and what it exactly means to be a writer and how we express our ideas in our writing. I’ve always been taught writing, but it’s not so often that I look back on our old essays or writing projects. If I look back, I can see how my writings improved, what and where my writing has changed and even find what hasn’t really changed. Of course over the years, my writing style has been modified and adjusted as I learned new things with different teachers. I’ve look back at old essays before, but now it’s time that I look back and really read through
As a writer I have many talents and struggles. When I was younger I would write crazy stories of adventures inside tv shows, or multiple mystery cases that stood out to me and inspired me to write in the horror genre. This was just me free writing throughout elementary and middle school, but once I hit high school writing wasn’t my favorite thing in the world. In high school the minute we enter we learn the most limited format of writing and once I was introduced to it, little by little I lost interest of any writing assignments. Back then I had zero troubles coming up with topics to discuss and write about, in addition I was able to show my creative side in writing. Some cons in my writing is my vocabulary and my transitions throughout paragraphs, and trying to get to the point. They’re not really bad, but I believe it’s a problem that needs improvement. Before I took this class I was in English 9, and American Literature. These classes were so boring and there was too much rules on how I should write and express my opinions on important topics, that I really just couldn’t express much. After that, this year I took Sci Fi, which is a class that taught the history of Science Fiction and we read and watch great science fiction materials. I really enjoyed this class mostly because my teacher gave me the chance to write different perspectives on topics that I wouldn’t really expose myself to. It also gave me the opportunity to bring my voice back in some of my essays which was
As I have lacked experience in reading and writing English has become my most feared subject. It happens to be my only weak spot in my perfect academic record. Other than social media, I cannot recall reading anything since “Shakespeare” it was assigned to me by my 10th grade English teacher. Not that I read a great deal before that, I don’t recall persuing any books in my past years of school either. When it comes to English, my brain feels like rusty gear covered in spider webs in an old machine trying to start up for the first time in centuries.
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.
During this writing practice I learned that there more to writing than what I originally thought. Compared to the past years I wrote, I learned more about myself and the skills that I am capable of. Writing with these methods also improved my writing because of the whole writing for an audience idea. My writing got better because I constantly had a specific audience in mind. This experience also encouraged me to take both roles as a reader and writer.
