Personal Narrative Of My Writing

Improved Essays
The first day of my sophomore year, at Knott central high school was very stressful. I did not know most of the teachers being a sophomore and I had English 10 honors first thing in the morning. I had no clue who this “Mrs. Mobley” really was. I had seen her around the school building but never really had a conversation with her. Almost everyone knew of her because she was very hard to miss with her flaming, red, curly hair and her teeth that shined as bright as diamonds. I had heard about her a little from a few older students who had her a year before and from her husband whom was my agriculture teacher the past year. I heard some good and bad things about her and was very concerned about how hard she was on grading, knowing most of my writing skills are mediocre.
I remember the first time I walked into Mrs. Mobley’s class room. It felt like home in a way but not in appearance wise but the atmosphere itself. The love, compassion, and worry that spilled out of Mrs. Mobley for her students was intense like a mothers concern for her children. She

We could write about anything. So of course I chose the creative writing path just because it was the easiest for me. Mrs. Mobley gave us a deadline of three days which put a lot of pressure upon my shoulders. I was going through a Syfy phase so I choose to write about the apocalypse. I was the only girl in the class that didn’t write about their past experience with writing or write a short story about “the boy next door”. Knowing that I wasn’t a strong writer, I freaked out about getting my short story just right while everyone else in the class had finished their final draft and was ready to turn them in. So the next day I rushed to get finished and turned in my short story not being satisfied with it whatsoever yet I didn’t want to be the last student to turn in their

    My writing experience: I didn’t start to read until I was in first grade. Every week we would go to library to check-out two books and take a test on the books we read on a computer. Every day in English we read a short story to ourselves then we would play games dealing with the story to make it fun. To be honest I never really did a lot of writing in Elementary , Middle, or High school so I can’t pinpoint when I started writing. In essay writing I learned its always good to express yourself with your own opinion.…

    Whether we know it or not in this modern society we are writers everyday of our lives. These interactions shape not only how we communicate but how we write as well. Personally, I have been shaped by the influence of both other writers I have known and those I have only read the creations of. Those same influences contributed to both my writing style in the classroom and to my identity as a writer. I spent a lot of my childhood with my nose deep in fiction novels at near by libraries.…

    I wasn’t overly excited about taking English 102 this semester and often felt overwhelmed by the writing assignments. As a writer, I find it very difficult to express my thoughts and feelings on paper. However, over the last several months, I can see how the progress in my writing style has changed. With the knowledge of research and analyzing, the overall structure of arranging details and facts within my assignments have developed throughout this course. I believe using evidence to create specific ideas, and my own personal interest in fantasy football, has been the elements that’s helped the most in changing my ability to write more effectively.…
