Personal Reflection: My Experience As A Writer

Decent Essays
My experience as a writer has stretched through just about my entire life time. As a four year old kid I had started kindergarten and my writing career had took off fast! When my teacher first started to teach us how to write, we started with learning all of the letters and writing all the small simple words that young kids do when we are first taught to read and write, such as cat, dog, cow and pig. At this stage I had thought that reading and writing was the best thing in the world because they were so new and strange to me! It was just one of those things that I wanted to learn more about everyday as a young child.
When I started to get older and the reading and writing started to get more complex, I started to struggle with the understanding and concepts of the subject. Writing is something at a young age that I hadn 't really ever understood very well but I do enjoy the subject. There 's just something about it that relaxes me and at a young age it was an

I really liked it because I have always had good handwriting and loved the way the style of writing looked on paper when it all came together! It was just one of those things that has stuck with me and it looks neat, professional and fancy. Cursive was just one of those things that I have always liked because in a way in matches my personality, due to me playing sports it was something that I thought looked professional and in sports my coaches always preached the doing the professional thing is something that will make you look better and will show the type of personality you have as a person. Being professional in writing shows your personality and the way you want to show yourself as a person. It 's like when your introducing yourself to someone new, you want to make a good impression with them and show them that your professional and your willingness to show your good

    Literacy Narrative I did a lot of writing while I was in the tenth grade. The English teacher I had at the time was the best when it came down to writing. I did not have too much interest in writing at the time but Mrs. Perez changed that, she gave me a new perception on writing and how it can change society. Mrs. Perez would always recommend really good books, one of which was a book called “His Dark Materials”. This story is about a young girl and her allies, fight for the discover of a dark substance called the “Dust”.…

    To me, writing is just ok, nothing special. It definitely isn’t something I get excited about. My first formal writing class was in 6th grade, where we followed The Institute for Excellence in Writing’s curriculum. My fellow classmates and I mainly wrote short, 1-3 paragraph reports on various historical topics. I did well in these classes, I just never really enjoyed the process of writing.…

    My experiences with writing have been somewhat limited until I signed up for English 101. I have to admit that English was not my favorite subject in school. I never felt like I was any good at writing, and spelling is still not my strong suit. I always felt like I was better at math. My attitude towards writing was my biggest hindrance to my success.…

    By looking back at my writing experiences, I can tell that writing does not come naturally to me and find it to be a real challenge. I may think I did well while writing but in reality I did horrible. It takes me a while to write a paper then other people and there tends to be plenty of problems that try to slow me down. One of the hardest problems I have while writing is trying to find the right words to say. Every time I write I always take longer than anyone else because I always second guess what I just wrote and have to rewrite what I am trying to say.…

    To explain who I am as a writer I think we would need to step back and look at who I was as a reader. From a young age, I was horrible at reading. I would put in special programs that would have me read books to younger grade children to make it seem like I knew how to read. Well, at least I thought I knew how to read. When it came down to it I was three reading levels below my class.…

    I can remember the exact moment writing switched from something I enjoyed to something I considered a chore. It wasn’t a traumatic experience by any means, but it opened my eyes and showed me what kind of author I actually was. Around the age of nine and ten, I was intrigued by the idea of diaries and journals. I found that writing during these years came to me very easy. I can remember after my parents would say goodnight, I would lay awake in bed waiting to make sure they were settled back downstairs.…

    Knowing I had to aim for a different audience this time around really affected my writing. When my tone for the original paper was rather informal and even somewhat fun, now I had to write for the APA, a group of people who take this line of work very seriously (as they should). Due to this, I gave my arguments a more serious tone, and I even expanded my vocabulary a bit to give a good impression. If I want the APA to listen to me, I should write in a tone they would use. I was careful about the sources I used for this.…

    Project 2 Toni Morrison, bell hooks, and James Baldwin are all writers, professionals crafting fully realized people living in black and white, and poetically weave humor and personal tragedy into their essays about injustice. In the past, I always avoided calling myself a writer because I simply could not compare with them or their contemporaries. Throughout the years, I realized that forbidding myself from using that title was not a humble act, but instead, limiting myself from strengthening my writing through making excuses. Writing did not come naturally to me. I could do the bare minimum.…

    Throughout my academic career, I have taken and been successful in a large number of English classes. In high school, my writing followed an academic format, mostly writing towards a prompt. Although I was able to gain writing practice, I never received a large amount of feedback that I could use to help myself in the future. Similarly, when I started college I practiced different forms of academic writing, structured around a prompt and focused on the end goal of a good grade. However, in college I was able to start gaining useful feedback on the strengths and weaknesses of my writing that I could apply to later assignments.…

    Over this semester of schooling my writing has changed dramatically at times and very little at others. Through my years of schooling people have determined my weaknesses and strengths that I would need to work on in my writing. In this academic writing course, I got to assess my own strengths and weaknesses based on the trouble I had writing, feedback, and overall grades. In all my years of school, I have always had trouble beginning an important paper.…

    Throughout the course of the semester, my ability as a writer has increased at a slight level. The semester began on a rough patch with my initial submission of assignment one, but that was quickly resolved in my revisions. Since that point, my grades have been relatively similar. I would accredit this improvement to the feedback I received on the first assignment, although some of my faults could be seen in the next assignment as well. Since that point, however, my writing has been relatively consistent.…

    Critical reflection Reflecting back on what I have learnt about myself as a writer is that it is okay to be aware of your weaknesses and using the necessary tools to support and strengthen them. As a writer it is good to step outside of your comfort zone and experiment with new genres. Let your writing take you on an emotional journey, and let your emotions lead your writing into a new journey. As a writer you need to expand your vocabulary and use powerful descriptive words to really create a mental image for your readers. I have learnt to understand the importance of sentence structure, drafting, and proof reading and not over using commas creating sentences that are too long.…

    At the beginning of this English course, I was so nervous and scared that I would fail. I do not think I have ever been a good writer. It has always terrified me because I have difficulty putting my thoughts down on paper. This course has proven to be highly inspiring to me as well as frightening. It has really taught me more about the understanding of the writing process and structure, in which helped me to not focus so much on the actual writing parts.…
