Reflective Essay: My Love Of Writing

Improved Essays
Growing up I always knew I loved to read. There was a time when I thought reading was just for school assignments or if someone have told me to read something not for anything else. When I started to get into sports I began to enjoy reading, particularly sports magazines, online articles, and little by little I started seeing myself reading more and discovering new things that I might have liked but never got a chance to read about them. And that made me enjoy reading about my favorite athletes, their life stories and how they succeeded in their lives. From there the love of reading progressed and I started reading about different topics. Along with sports I started to read about history and how the people lived before our time and what happened …show more content…
When I was back in school, I never succeed in any of my subjects. I always used to convince myself that I can just pass with a passing grade and focus on playing sports and that’s how it was for the most part. But the only thing that I was on top of my game was writing papers, whether it was an essay or a paper for another class it was always an A+. I always had something to write about I never got stuck on a thought or an idea. Which made me realize that I loved to write and it always made me feel happy that I can write and not having to worry about what should I write about or that I might not get to finish a paper or an assignment because I can’t think of anything to put in the paper or maybe finishing the paper. I am a free writer, so whatever comes to my mind, I write it down. I have always wondered about the process, steps needed to write a piece of literacy, whether it was a book, magazine or even an article. With that it inspired me to start writing more and see if I can actually put my own thoughts on a paper or a magazine someday. And maybe one day I can write my own book. Right now I am thinking about being a chiropractor because I was told I was good with my hands and not having to worry about going to medical school, although I do have to go to chiropractor school, but it’s a lot shorter than getting a medical degree. The reason I am saying this is because it wasn’t my dream as a kid to be a chiropractor but I thought

    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.…

    Writing has been my talent since grade school; I couldn’t sing, or dance but I could write, or so I thought. Then, I entered high school and realized that writing required a lot more than it did in middle school. The brisk pace and advanced comprehension skills required for my English three AP course caused my grades to suffer. I have struggled with college level essay writing tremendously, but through hard-work I have been able to write with more ease and finesse than ever before.…

    Portrait of a Writer As I have mentioned in previous essays, I much prefer reading to writing. However, once I get my flow going, I am able to write some well thought out essays. I think the main thing that I see when I look at myself as a writer is why I write. As far back as I can remember, I have never written anything for fun, never had a journal or anything like that. Basically, I only write when I have to.…

    I have never really been a strong writer. I feel like my writing always gets the point across but if the subject is not something that I know a lot about or am passionate about, then the organization is bad and the content is a lot of fluff and nothing else. My writing is strong in the amount of information I put into it, but lacks nice vocabulary and transition words or phrases. My writing can be very informative like in a research paper, report, or essay. When I know the information I can put it in a paper in a way that the reader can understand it easily.…

    I loved that reading allowed me to create the universe the book belonged in ad then was able to see how someone else envisioned and produced the book in a film. While I was extremely interested into reading books about major motion pictures, I discovered the world of music and fell in love. My first artist that sparked my interest at the age of 12 was Justin Bieber, One Direction and 5 Seconds of Summer. The three artists were always in the media, and everyday there was a new article I a magazine or in the tabloids about their music or about their personal lives. I began to read most of the articles I saw on the internet so that I could keep up with what was happening in the music industry with them.…

    To be completely honest I have mixed feelings about writing and I don’t really have any memorable experiences that made me feel this way, it is just the experiences that I have had with the subject while trying to apply it. I struggle with what to write down mostly and creativity in general and I don’t really excel at any part of it. If I were to say I “excel” at anything it would be revising my work and adding to it. At the end of the semester I hope that I have relearned some key writing elements that lack of practice has caused me to lose.…

    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.…
