Before I started English W131 I inferred that I was a fair writer. Before then I imagined I could write a nice and easy going paper. I knew I could tell stories very well. That is most likely the only thing I can do. As we got into our first assignment in class, I started to convince myself that this is going to be horrible because I did not relate with writing in the first place. After the first assignment, I concluded that the writing would not be so bad. When I got my results back it was a different story.

When I do not enjoy something it is hard for me to engage myself into it. Most of the time I feel as if I am writing a dead person paper.
