    On April 26th of this year I attended a faculty recital in the Walker Recital Hall. The recital featured the Presque Isle Saxophone Quartet with Allen Zurcher, Bethany Dressler, Rebecca Wunch, and Scott Meier. The hall was not fully filled with spectators, however, attendees were very supportive and enthusiastic about the artists. The performance consisted of the 20th and 21st century music pieces, which was something I did not expect. To surprise this performance did not take long time and was over in about hour and 15 minutes.…

    I currently live in a small beach town right outside of Jupiter, Florida known as Hobe Sound. It’s a “drive by town” as I would describe it. There really isn’t anything there would attract or gravitate people to stay there; its better to just look at it out a car window well passing it. It is currently about six hours outside of Tallahassee, Florida. This seems really long, but originally I signed to go to University of Mississippi and later realized that being more than ten hours away from home was to much for me.…

    I never considered myself to be an excellent writer but still thought I wrote well enough to get my point across without confusing the reader too much. However, any confidence that I had in my writing skills was lost for a short time when I had to write my first timed essay in school. Luckily, the timed essay assignment also helped me see that I needed to work on my writing and, as a result, actually turned out to be a more positive experience rather than a negative one. It was just another regular school day that was near its end, and I had one more class to go to before everyone was released to go home.…

    Writing would never be called my passion; however, if the topic of interest is thought-provoking, writing can be pleasurable. I have always been exceedingly critical of my writing, and I have a bad habit of producing your standard “five paragraph with five sentences” essay. High school was the true test of my writing skills, mainly because I had to take the ACT and SAT with writing if I wanted to get into the only Georgia school that I thought was up to par with my standards: The University of Georgia. Even though my teachers have considered me to be an acceptable writer, I have always considered myself rather subpar. This insecurity about my writing has haunted me throughout my life, and I have this feeling towards writing mainly…

    Writing: A Perfectionist’s Imperfection Have you ever seen those movies when the antagonist is holding the gun straight at the protagonist’s head? You wait, wait, and wait. There is the loud gun cock, but it never seems to actually go off and the protagonist never seems to die. For one thing, writing for me is like someone is sitting behind my desk laughing at me menacingly with the gun pressed against my temple. A metaphorical gun killed my thoughts of a perfectly good paper.…

    My Path to Literacy For a very long time writing and reading was a huge struggle for me. I was one of those students who was very intelligent, but disliked reading tremendously and was often told, “You write the way you talk”.

I was aware of my issues but because it became a part of my writing habits it was hard to adapt to anything different. I wanted to be like everyone else and be a good authentic and productive writer but it seemed almost impossible.…

    My writing process is currently just typing whatever comes to mind at the moment and then going back to read over it. I’ve only written a personal narrative essay, I haven’t made a decent writing process yet. I also let a few of my friends read my paper and help me make corrections on Google Docs. On an estimate, I probably spent around 1-2 hours daily, typing and revising my paper in my dorm. Like I stated before, I currently just write whatever comes to mind and then revise it later.…

    When I first began learning how to read and write, I often found myself struggling. The concepts did not come easily to me, making it challenging to comprehend. Looking back on my experience, I can recall how lots of the other kids in my class encountered no difficulty at all. I worked at a slower pace compared to the majority of them, and required more frequent help from my teacher than others. At one point, I felt like the idea of being able to read and write independently seemed impossible.…

    I have always considered my relationship with writing to be very insignificant. Although I enjoy spending time verbally expressing my thoughts and feelings to others, it becomes difficult when these thoughts and feelings are expressed through writing. Throughout my adolescent years, I would often receive feedback for my writing given by the teacher in the form of a grade. Being unable to effectively organize my thoughts and ideas into words and sentences, I would feel reluctant to continue writing confidently whenever I received an undesirable grade.…
