A weakness that I have is that I do not know how to say no to individuals that ask me for help since I love to help people. It is important that I learn to say no when helping others gets in the way of me accomplishing my tasks. It is important that I do both, but not when I run the risk of not meeting my deadlines and me staying late hours after work to get my work done. It has not been an easy task saying no, but I am learning to be okay with saying no because it is important that it does not interfere with my responsibilities.…
Throughout my writing career I have learned many different techniques to writing a perfect essay. I have many strengths, but I believe I possess more weaknesses. My strengths are citing sources, emphasizing words, putting commas. I possess more weaknesses as shown above; there is always room for improvement. Even though I'm in a college leveled class I know I'm still not at that level.…
The first time, I enrolled in this class, I felt excited knowing this class would help on my grammar, so I can become a better writer. My first thought that cross my mind was this was going to be easy and it was. My last experienced with writing and English was okay because I mainly get a B or a C, but rarely I would get an A. I always been having trouble with grammars. My high school English teachers taught us about grammars and how to become a better writer. It was similar to what you had taught us in class because we always learned about grammar out of a book and we got tested after we been practice.…
When I was a child I always though about business. I wanted to know how things worked, how money worked. I started watching my grandfather write his invoices, deposit checks, talk to people as if he knew them but they had just met. I wondered how he did it, how he played his cards right and got people to hire him.…
In writing your suppose to use descriptive details and to always have a point to why you are writing the story. My writing didn’t until I came to college; being in your class has been teaching me how to write. It’s bad a way that I just started writing because I have way…
For most students, the moment the bell rings for summer, they never speak to their teachers again. Usually this applies to me as well, but last year, it didn't. Ms. Dirmeyer, my 7th grade Language Arts teacher, still keeps in touch with me, even though she’s not my teacher anymore. She takes interest in my writing, and has done several things to help me improve. Ms. Dirmeyer sends me emails with writing tips, along with worksheets directed towards improving my writing.…
My talent is creating, and my form of creating is writing. Writing is a thing I've been doing since I was in the seventh grade. I started writing then because of a troublesome past, both my mother and my father had left my two other siblings and I all alone, leaving us with our uncle. It was very hard for me to adjust, I was fatigued and emotionally hurt, I turned to writing. My love for writing grew into a bigger part of my life when I kept dream journals.…
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”.…
I didn’t know what I was in for after that day. A writer’s key experiences is what makes them different from other writers and is crucial to their growth as a writer. The writing I composed in Mrs. Heningburg’s class was central to my development as a writer because it made me more confident in my writing and made me more aware of others reading my work as a writer. After hearing my last writing assignment's result in the class, I started expecting a high scoring on my writing works. The compliment about my essay from my sixth-grade teacher changed me, so let's start from the beginning.…
I learned that all the prewriting is not the same there are different formats of writing. I haven't learned which essay writing best fits me. I believe that the one that fits me the most is the free writing because I can just write down anything and continue without stopping. I can write to whatever comes to mind and even though it doesn't make any sense I still write it down I feel that most of my best writing comes from free style writing. I can only do my best when I feel that I am able to more work under pressure and that I can relieve a lot of my stress by writing.…
I think a writer's voice is their own style of writing, a perspective, and a tone. Our style is the mechanics of our storytelling. I think over time our natural style will develop and as we read various works, we begin to be influenced by the styles of those we choose to read. We begin to pick up bits and pieces along the way and eventually define our own unique style of writing. Experiences is what will shape our voice.…
Whether we know it or not in this modern society we are writers everyday of our lives. These interactions shape not only how we communicate but how we write as well. Personally, I have been shaped by the influence of both other writers I have known and those I have only read the creations of. Those same influences contributed to both my writing style in the classroom and to my identity as a writer. I spent a lot of my childhood with my nose deep in fiction novels at near by libraries.…
There is always some aspect of your writing that can be improved. That is why the point that I am focusing on extremely hard is using sensory detail to be thorough in my writing. Sensory detail is the way to project your ideas from your mind onto the paper. That is why it is important for me to build my writing skills to become more adept at translating my mind onto the paper, because the words that I put on paper act as a bridge into a fathomless world that is full of unopened chests that each have a special characteristic. Inside those chests lies the insight that is learned through both beneficial and malign experiences.…
On the other hand, I also have a couple weaknesses. I find it hard to start writing about topics that I know nothing about. I just sit and stare at the empty page or computer screen feeling so unaccomplished. Another weakness I have is that I sometimes can’t get my message out clear enough so when someone tries to read my work they might get confused in certain parts. My own experiences led me to believing my strengths and weaknesses as a writer.…
Over the first semester I feel I have been appropriately challenged in the area of writing we have done this year. I learned many new skills, but the most important one involves English and how to write properly. As for the first writing, I really did not understand what was right and what was wrong. Because I never paid close attention to specific rules in how to write. I truly believe it has been hard for me.…
