My Writing Experience Analysis

Improved Essays
Writing is described by Merriam Webster as “The activity or skill of marking coherent words on paper and composing text”. Yet to me writing has become a much deeper and emotional experience over the years. The first experiences I had with writing began when I entered first grade, directly after learning how to read very small paper books. I remember being extremely excited due to my great love for learning which I found out later fueled my even bigger love for creative writing.
Later experiences include me writing my own not very well written, short stories at the age of seven, as well as me taking on CP classes as soon as they were offered in English within my school district. Personally, I believe my skills and love for writing itself stem

Creative writing on one hand is possibly one of my favorite activities, while research papers tend to scare me more than they should for various reasons stated above. Yet my arrival on campus has opened up my eyes more than I imagined it initially would. Coming to Bowling Green I was surprised at just how much assistance was offered. This vastly improved my view of writing and what I could do with it overall in any class I take. While I do have a love for my criminal justice major and greatly enjoy researching more about different aspects of it, I still struggle bringing myself to write high quality work. Personally though I feel like I would have an easier time writing these type of papers if they were less formal and traditionally written. Over the years I’ve come to realize just how driven I am by the things I wish to accomplish in my life. Though my goals have changed vastly growing up, physical fitness is something I struggled with as a child due to my allergy induced asthma, by constantly working hard and putting time into my goal I learned to manage my condition with ease. Completing that now allows me to finally reach my long awaited goal of joining the army later this year. This class will help me reach my goal by helping me learn to be resilient not only in the classroom but life in …show more content…
As we all know college is expensive and my parents both love the idea of more scholarships which are easier to acquire with a higher GPA. This class of course doesn’t contribute to this but I believe it will improve my writing in general. Papers are obviously common ways to judge just how well you understand topics in college, and being able to write well only allows me to improve my score. Overall I hope to excel not only in the class but in college as well, thankfully writing is a fundamental part of this and will only allow me to grow and flourish in any class I decide to take here. I also hope to one day write a novel of my own, so I can’t wait to write a separate literacy narrative years from now to see just how much these experiences today shape my future for

    The Real Writer, says that enjoying writing is more of an “agonistic” type of thing. This means that it is not something you are obsessed with, it’s a love-hate relationship. This is important because it emphasizes that people don’t usually LOVE writing, it is more of a fire that burns inside them. “I believe that I write because I am driven to do so—driven by a will to write (Allen 25).” Basically, writing is not some kind of “gift from the gods” or natural talent.…

    Project #1: Literacy Narrative I remember walking across the lawn from our tiny add on classroom, up the stairs, and into the second grade class. Walking to my assigned desk directly in front of the window, I sat down in front of my best friend. Sometimes, sleepy and tired, I stared at the giant oak tree in our school yard and watching the clouds move. My first experience with writing was in fourth grade.…

    When I Learned to Read and Write. I first started reading and writing in preschool, my teacher was very helpful and did everything she could do to help me achieve goals, and become who I am today. When I was younger I would pretend that I could read and I would read to all of my toys. In preschool, my teacher saw me trying to read so she came over to me and started to help me sound out the words and form the sentences so that I could read. The first book I read was Dr.Seuss’ “Green, Eggs and Ham.”…

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.…

    To me, writing has always been busy work and something that teachers only used to create grades. My writing experience in high school was very limited to one category in: practice AP essays. The writing I did in class was always preparing for AP exams and was very fact based. Most essays, such as history, were only used to show that I knew the material and weren’t graded on how good the writing was. I didn’t feel like I had any freedom to stray away from the format that the AP graders expected because I didn’t want that to affect my score.…

    If you were to ask me about my high school writing experience, I would tell you that I did not have much experience. We did not have any classes at my school that were specifically writing classes. At my high school, we just had regular English classes where we would occasionally do a few papers in. My English teacher senior year was a great person, but did not necessarily teach us a lot about proper styles of writing papers. Coming into college English, I did not feel well prepared with what to expect for a college level writing class.…

    Writing has always been a struggle for me for as long as I can remember. I find it difficult to put my thoughts on a paper, especially if I have to do it in another language. Some people think that as long as they can speak a language or communicate with other people, it is enough. However, these people are totally wrong. People do not only need to speak a language fluently, but they also have to be able to write it.…
