Writing Pad: Personal Statement Analysis

Improved Essays
I think I could be a valuable student employee for the Writing Pad. As a recent high school gradate, I think I have a unique perspective on the world, albeit somewhat cynical as its heart. During my high school career, I have taken a plethora of English classes, including a college credit course for Written Communication- which I earned an A in alongside the credit. Also I have taken my placement test and have been put into English 102, something which I think would provide ample help with those seeking assistance in the Writing Pad.

Currently, I am an employee at Dick’s Drive-In as a server, a position which allows me to cultivate my ability to clearly communicate various ideas and promote a healthier relationship between the melting pot of our customers and my coworkers. This has also provided me the drive to hone in on my ability to present a satisfactory product to our customers, in both a timely and orderly fashion. However, in my free time, I immensely enjoy writing. And while it is mostly fictitious at its core, I have diverted from that path and begun dabbling in other writing forms- such as poetry and even journalism.

    On the first day of my 4th period Pre-AP Social Science class, my teacher announced that she would be nominating 2 students for a scholarship based on their academic performance and service to the community. For an 8th grader, this seemed to be the most exciting opportunity I had ever heard of. It would allow some separation from my ultracompetitive classmates at one of the top middle schools in California. Even though history was not my forte, I devised a regimen that I would follow. I studied everyday afterschool, spent hours upon hours on projects, and never turned in an assignment without checking it over 3 times.…

    I come from a Turkish community where most of my friends are Turkish native speakers. Since they all came to the United States after graduating from high school, they’re not very fluent in English. They always come to me for help when writing their essays or when they do not understand their assignments. I think one of the most impactful “one-on-one” tutoring experiences I had was when I had to revise and tutor my friend on writing her personal essay for her college application. She didn’t have to write a personal statement when she started at Bergen Community College…

    My first though on this assignment was “ Who writes anymore? With all of the technology we have no one writes anymore,” I was wrong. I frequently find myself writing at work, at Intermountain Medical Center as a Patient Care Tech and as a Health Unit Coordinator. Often I am writing for myself, writing to my coworkers, other departments in the hospital and writing for as well as to my boss. Recently I noticed the longer I have been working at this job the more comfortable I am writing to my colleagues and my boss.…

    I think that paraphrasing will be the hardest for me to avoid while writing. It seems that sometimes it is hard to write or summarize something that is so well written already. The way I will work around that is to stop and re-read what I am wanting to summarize, take a few important words out of the material I am reviewing and jot those down, then go back and write what is needed to complete my sentence or idea. Once I have completed my writing, I will review and make sure I have properly cited my work. Using the guidelines discussed in our “Read Section”, and following the instructions listed on how to source correctly should avoid paraphrasing mistakes and plagiarism.…

    Have You Developed a System of Writing That Works Most of The Time I really have not looked up different styles of writing let alone realized there was so many different types of it. My method is not necessarily a method per se, I have always for the longest time just wrote down as if I was speaking to someone. That to me was where my biggest praise came from, that I was able to write with such voice and was able to emulate my presence through the pages. When writing for an essay there is a period where I read and reread the question to gather all the information that is needed. Once the question is fully understood, I try to explain myself in full detail.…

    One of the very first memories I had as a child was lying in bed at night and listening to my mom read stories to me. I would always have my pajamas lying in my bunk bed in my blue paint colored room. Every night before bed I would curl up next to her in bed and pick several books for her to read. As I got older, I would pick bigger, harder, and longer books to read.…

    Over all writing the narrative journal made me have a great time. Being able to reminisce and write down what I experienced during the photo was fun. Looking at the photo for a couple of minutes, helped me gather my thoughts quickly and played the scene in my head as if I was there. Even though not every picture had a great story behind it, it made me realize that everything that has happened in my life are memories that will always stick to me. The problems that I encountered was being able to add more sensory details to my narrative journal.…
