Personal Narrative: Myself As A Writer

Chapter two: Myself, the writer

What I consider myself as a writer is not that good. I can barely come up with topics. But now that i’ve hit 8th grade i’ve improved a lot. Like I can come up with topics, type faster, and understand what to do. For instance, if the teacher were to say something I could do it right away but not always sometimes I ask for help.

Writing is fun. I personally kinda like it. Like if I was bored I might just write. Like when I used to write an essay or paper in the 7th grade I would be all mad and like ugh. Now in eighth grade i’m always down to write. In 7th grade I wrote about the Titanic and I failed horribly. I was so mad and sad at the same time.

I used to struggle to come up with them, but then I realized it’s not that hard. Especially when you can just google ideas or come up with them beforehand. What I mean by beforehand is to get a paper and write multiple ideas on them then go from there. Writing is awesome. Usually when I write something I usually give it to someone so I can share my experience.

One of my goals in writing is to have good grammar. I want good grammar so I can just write without looking stupid. Another goal is that I can have good handwriting and type really fast so I can get done with things and it doesn’t take me forever.
Chapter three: Myself, the reader
What I am like as a reader is kinda bad. My whole life i’ve been avoiding reading. But to be honest i’ve gotten better over the years. Like last year I didn’t have to do reading logs nor independent reading that much. But now in 8th grade I have to do a reading log every week, a book talk every month and independent reading. Also, I used to hate reading like so much. Now I do it a lot like even on the bus and sometimes at

    My writing experience: I didn’t start to read until I was in first grade. Every week we would go to library to check-out two books and take a test on the books we read on a computer. Every day in English we read a short story to ourselves then we would play games dealing with the story to make it fun. To be honest I never really did a lot of writing in Elementary , Middle, or High school so I can’t pinpoint when I started writing. In essay writing I learned its always good to express yourself with your own opinion.…

    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.…

    Before I enrolled into Comp II, I knew how to write an essay, but my strengths were limited. I have never been an excellent writer, so I knew going into this class, I was going to struggle with improperly punctuated, weak body structures, and weak sentence structure. I feel like I have so much to say, but can never get my point across clearly. Sometimes I feel like I could write a hundred-page paper about everything going on in my life, but it never seems to make sense to other people. I try my best, but sometimes I fail to follow all the rules of English.…

    In high school, I was an average writer. Throughout the four years, my writing and reading skills vaguely improved. There were times where I did not comprehend what the English teachers were discussing about. It was difficult to understand what they were asking me to write about.

    When I stare at a blank word document my mind becomes scattered. Writing has always been something that has never came easy to me. I always felt like the way I worded things, or explained myself in a paper wasn 't good enough compared to all the other people in my classes. Then, just recently I figured out that if I write for myself and things that I feel strongly about then when I am staring at a blank word document the words will come easy to me, and will start to flow. This is why I wrote, and why I write.…

    Writing and reading was taught briefly to me in my 5th grade year. For reading, I was taught to read an essay and if I don’t understand it then I reread it. Sometimes I take notes but when I do, I have a hard time picking out the main ideas and then rewriting the notes. When I’m writing an essay, I have a hard time keeping it clear for the reader to read. Strong vocabulary is also hard for me to include in my essays.…
