Although, I am a freshman at Bay Path University and do not have a lot of experience on writing papers compared to many of the students enrolled in this English class. I still work above and beyond to always submit my best work. I never submit a paper knowing I…
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.…
Growth During high school everybody changes a lot as people, but you never really think of how much you’ve changed as a writer. Throughout high school I’ve changed as a writer tremendously. I’ve gotten better at writing. Even though I still suck at it, I did improve.…
Since I was a little girl, I have always loved writing. Although, I admit that I have never been very good at explaining things. Writer’s Block has always been my most immense struggle when it comes to writing so I guess you could say that writing is a painful and enjoyable experience. I have learned that once I get past the writer’s block, there is no stopping me.…
My life took a drastic change when I transitioned from a public to private school. I ended up at Lighthouse Christian School where I was taught to write research papers. It started with memorizing all the grammar rule and format that was expected from my English teacher, Mrs. Dennis Carroll. At first, I was timid to know the preparation and information before beginning to write a paper. Into one month of school, I received my first writing assignment was gathering background information on…
Writing has always been a pastime for me. When I was younger, I loved writing stories just for fun or to have something to share with my family and friends. I remember being able to sit down for hours on end and write full pages worth of writing. Whether it made any sense, had proper grammar, and even if it was legible didn’t matter to me. It was writing that I could truly say was my own and be proud of.…
“And what matters in this journey-at least initially-is not what kind of car you’re driving, but where you end up.” This quote spoke to me on levels beyond writing. When you get to the end of your life, you will be less concerned on the little aspects of life, but more on the journey and outcome of life. I find “The Importance of Writing Badly,” an incredibly mind opening essay. I have truly never thought from Bruce Ballenger’s point of view.…
What does writing means to me? Writing means so much to me because when I start writing I write what’s on my mind. Sometimes I have a hard time writing a formal essay because I don’t know how to begin a paper. My mom is good in writing and that’s why I ask for her help even though I’m still confused after she explains the corrections to me…
A single story is a one sided point of view of something or someone. Single stories have the power to tell false interpretations of the actual story. In a TED talk, Chimamanda’s roommate was surprised on how well she knew English. Her roommate was shocked to learn that Nigeria 's official language was English. She had also assumed that because she had come from Africa, she did not know how to operate a stove.…
As I have progressed through school writing has been my Achilles heel. I was never fond of writing and I always dreaded the idea of writing essays. I was never a strong writer. I always considered myself a subpar writer. I believed that I was capable of meeting expectations rather than exceeding.…
I walked into my class out of breath after climbing three sets of stairs only to find myself without a place to sit. My seat had been taken by someone else. Fortunately for me, one of my classmates was absent, so I sat in her place. The next day the same thing happened and again another girl was absent so I sat in her place.…
Since then, I have always thought that writing is not my cup of tea. I have a difficult time writing about things freely. I have always thought of my work being dog shit, so even if I manage to get a good grade; I wonder if it 's my paper. My process of thinking is solely negative toward my paper. Looking at all the bright side of thing has never been a question and that is the reason I am an inexperienced writer.…
Throughout this semester of English 101, writing has become more of a skill than a struggle. Writing was a challenge that I dreaded when I chose to be in the course, nonetheless with time, I learned from my mistakes and was able to improve. This course made me very doubtful on whether I could be capable of even writing a paper that would provide me with a decent grade, but at the same time made me push myself in my writing technique. In the end, I can reflect that I learned from my mistakes and wrote papers that took time and dedication to accomplish. I learned from this class to be confident in my writing and make all the mistakes to receive the grade I want in the end.…
In fact my mindset towards writing was that of abhorrence instead of dedication and care. As a result, the papers I turned in high school were hit or miss depending on how the teacher felt about my paper but usually my essay grades were ,needless to say, not As. However, deep down…
