I learned that all the prewriting is not the same there are different formats of writing. I haven't learned which essay writing best fits me. I believe that the one that fits me the most is the free writing because I can just write down anything and continue without stopping. I can write to whatever comes to mind and even though it doesn't make any sense I still write it down I feel that most of my best writing comes from free style writing. I can only do my best when I feel that I am able to more work under pressure and that I can relieve a lot of my stress by writing.…
As I've gotten older in middle school I can see how much iv changed over the years and how my work has gotten better. At the beginning of the year, I didn't understand the writing techniques. I've always struggled with my writing and organizer and always been behind, but now I understand my topics and what I'm supposed to be writing. One of my greatest strengths is being able to create a story out of anything, I also took it in my hands to make sure all my questions are answered to understand what I'm writing about. Yet, there are also parts I need to improve my grammar and word choice.…
Writing has never been one of my strongest skills nor my favorite. Even though I enjoy reading another person’s writing the thought of someone else reading mine just sends chills down my spine. I wouldn’t consider myself a decent writer whatsoever. This defiantly gets in the way of how I feel about writing at times, because it makes me insecure of what others are going to think after they finish reading my essay. When I signed up for ENGL 1301 I was quick to assume the course was just going to consist of reading a lot of material and taking quizzes that covered the readings.…
Most kids remember the sounds of rain, or thunder vividly because they are loud. I remember scratching. Rhythmic, repetitive, and right in front of me. The scratching of my blue ballpoint pen against paper. …

If I squinted and held the paper at just the right angle, I could make out a faint outline. The outline said ‘Help’. It had the initial F and L. This person, whoever it is, was in trouble. I looked around the deserted house for other clues.…
Scribbling pencils across a page, clacking keys on a computer, tapping thumbs on a smartphone--the whole world is a community of writers. People write because they have to, and people write because they want to, but I write because it helps me find who I am. In kindergarten, I was an author. At my grandma’s house, I would spend hours cutting, stapling, and writing until I emerged from the scraps with a handmade book.…
Numerous things led me to my ultimate decision to study film. My passion for the art of storytelling began at a very young age. I grew up in Houston, TX and many of my weekends were spent at the movies. Our remaining weekends were spent in Merryville, LA. A place quite the opposite of Houston.…
I was born with the name Patricia Laura but most of the time people called me Laura. For some reason, I love the name Laura because it makes me feel happy and carefree. Laura is of a Latin origin that reminds me of the laurel flower. A tiny and modest flower that blooms beautifully and represents motivation and determination. My aunt was the one who gave me the name Laura because she told me that once she saw me; her face blossomed and told my parents that I had to be named Laura the fact that my facial expressions showed humility and wisdom.…
I think that no matter what I am writing, I am always writing for a specific reader. Be it work emails or school assignments, I always keep in mind who I am writing to, so that my writing style does not come off as unprofessional, not respectful, or “too proper”. For example, in the design industry, you can never know whether a person will expect complete professionalism from you, or will he want to talk like a human instead of a robot. When writing emails to clients, coworkers or the boss, I first try to understand my audience and “predict” what level of professionalism will they expect from me, and only then I will send my email to avoid making a fool of myself.…
In relationship to real world experiences that have aided in my ability to be successful in field experiences, I have gained knowledge for successful student learning through participation in the Partners in Education program at Waco I.S.D. Through my previous employment at Oak Farms Dairy, I was afforded the opportunity to be the liaison for the company to partner with Provident Heights Elementary. Over the span of 15 years, I spent time in the school participating in various endeavors. First of all, during Red Ribbon Week, I the company provided drug awareness booklets and I would visit the classrooms and read-aloud to students. In addition, on several occasions I participated in their career day festivities by speaking to the students…
We all imagine our own personal responses to hazardous situations. Many think of how one could save the day in scenarios that will likely never occur. We envision ourselves as a person who would do the saving rather than needing to be saved. Some people like to equate themselves with the heroes they hear about in their favorite stories. While some people in this world truly are of a heroic nature, many are not.…

I wake up in the middle of the night with my heart pounding. I try to concentrate on slowing down my heartbeat, while my eyes try to adjust in the darkness.
