My Writing Goals

Improved Essays
Stopping short of a goal is not an option for me. I aim high and commit myself to reach the peak.

    This term is the first term that I’ve been back in school in over five years. When I started this class I wasn’t sure if I would remember all of the mechanics of good essay writing, even though I took many writing courses in High School, and my major is in English.

In this course, my experience with the writing process has become more polished, clean, and easier to adhere to.…
