My Educational Experience Essay

Improved Essays
Education is more than just learning. There are a lot of other things that also come with it. Some people do not take education as serious as they should. Little do those people know your education kind of determines and sums up how the rest of your life after school will play out. My educational experience has been a bumpy road, which can be seen by grades throughout my educational history. Also my writing experience, and my views on my future educational plans.

If you think about it almost everything you do in school involves writing. High school is especially where you begin to do the most writing. If you don’t learn to be a decent or ok writer while in grade school once you go into high school you will find yourself struggling with it. Writing is actually not hard, especially if you are a very creative and imaginative person. I think that anyone could be a good writer, if they chose to. Some people hear the word and automatically become lazy and not want to do it. My first year in high school I had an assignment of writing a 6 page paper about myself. Even though the topic sounds easy I was just lazy and decided not to do it. My teacher decided to not let me take an F for the assignment and made me do it anyways. She didn’t take it as a late grade or anything either, and I actually received a high B on it. It was then that I realized my teacher believed in me and I should believe in myself and understand that if I want to be a good writer I can. This is why I say that anyone who potentially wants to be a good writer can. It’s really all based off of the effort that you put into it. Without writing I feel that school would be pointless because you use it in almost every subject, writing is not just essays, and stories. It also goes into the more basic simplier things like writing down a math problem ,or even your name at the top of your

    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.…

Most essays, such as history, were only used to show that I knew the material and weren’t graded on how good the writing was. I didn’t feel like I had any freedom to stray away from the format that the AP graders expected because I didn’t want that to affect my score.…
