My Writing History

Writing History

I have never been really good at writing. When I was in High School, I struggled the most in writing. The reason I have struggled in writing is because my native language which is Russian has different grammar and ways of writing and it always confuses me. I have gotten better over the few years in writing but still have a lot more work to do. I still believe that writing is my weakest strength point. I have not done much writing other than High School. We used to do a lot of research papers or some papers about a certain topic. I don’t write much for any other reason. I do believe that I need to improve in writing because it’s something that has bothered me for a long time. For my future career I am trying to go for Physical Therapy. This class should put me on the right track to help me improve and become better.

Some were even argument papers which I hated the most because I would really suck at arguing my point across and make the paper good enough for the reader to even read. My most enjoyable type of writing is going to be creative writing because that’s where I could have fun in making stuff up and actually being decently good at besides the part where my grammar still sucked. My strengths in writing I believe are non-existent because I don’t think that I’m good at it at all and I have a lot to work on. My most weakness in writing is the grammar part and making sure that everything is in proper form. I believe writing is very important and that I should start focusing on improving it. Writing is like a skill that I’m just really bad at and I will try my best to make it to make a whole lot better. I’m hoping to gain a lot of writing skills and new useful tips from this class to improve my writing to a whole new

    Final Portfolio Cover Letter I have always enjoyed writing so I feel like classes such as these help me more than others. Before I finish college I hope to take some sort of creative writing class as I feel as I haven’t given that opportunity much in recent years amidst constant essays on topic that I do not care about. As a writer I believe my biggest strength is that when I start writing I can keep writing almost until I have run out of things to write about or am interrupted for some reason. I also feel as though I’m very good at writing about things I am passionate about and if I care about a topic you will be able to clearly tell when reading what I wrote.…

    I believe I am also fairly strong in writing essays that argue a position. In reading, I am good at remembering details which is helpful in discussing it later. I am not as strong when it comes to writing problem and solution essays, or essays that involve a lot of researching. Also my grammar still needs improving. For instance, I still have difficulties of knowing when to use “affect” and “effect”.…

    Over the course of English 102, I have developed a new set of skills and learned to become a better writer. When I first came into English 102 I struggled with many different concepts of writing. During the semester in English 102, my writing became stronger because I learned how to incorporate evidence into my argument, do more thorough research, have smoother transitions, and have more organization throughout my essay. I learned how to peer review better and to take what others say and incorporate it into my essay. In the beginning, before English 102, I struggled with good organization and flow to an essay, sandwich evidence into paragraphs, and having strong arguments in persuasive essays.…

    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.

    While taking a class in college, many people just go through the motions and show up to class to get the job done. But after taking my first English Composition class this fall I realized how much important material and knowledge I have gained. During the class we learned everything from little bits of grammar to writing six page papers. Learning how to start the drafting process on a paper and build an effective was by far the most important skill I have learned in class.

    At the beginning of the semester, I viewed myself as a creative writer. After attending this class I realized that there is a lot more that goes into writing an essay, or a research paper, than just creativity alone. I have learned that it is very important to be aware of my strengths and weaknesses in my writing. Taking this class has helped me understand the strengths and weaknesses in my writing skills, and it has given me the opportunity to strengthen the areas in which I was weak. An example of this is that I have become aware of my grammar and spelling errors as the semester progressed.…
