May 8, 2017 was the first day of college for me after being out of high school for 18 years. I am attempting to pursue a nursing degree and I am required to take 8 pre-requisites before I can apply to the nursing program. I decided to take English 111 first but only because that is what my advisor suggested. I have never liked reading or writing and therefore was not looking forward to taking this class. Additionaly, this semester was like a rollercoaster because Mrs. Patrick had to condense 16…

Defining myself as a writer My experiences with writing have not been that great. I’ve always hated writing. Though this past summer I took GENR-091 which helped me a little, and I didn’t do too bad. One weakness I have with writing is that I can’t seem to organize, my thoughts are all over the place. Another weakness I have when it comes to writing is that I’m too wordy. Throughout this course I would like to learn how to organize my thoughts and not be so wordy in my writing. Even though I’m…

The Steps to the Writing Process Have you ever written a paper and followed the writing process correctly? There are five major steps and many small details that go into writing a paper. The paper can be easily written if the simple steps to the writing process are followed. The first step to the writing process is pre-write, the step where ideas are formed.

Who doesn’t struggle with writing? I know I always have struggled with writing, for the longest time I didn’t even really understand the differences in sentences, and it is something that’s still confuses me a little bit. To be completely honest I sometimes procrastinate longer than I should when it comes to writing, so I don’t always review the finished product the way I should. Life gets in the way occasionally, and I attempt to convince myself that I have plenty of time to finish they…

a type of formula needed to pass many of the Advanced Placement exams. Although I did enjoy the freedom writing gave in my younger years when I was still given an opportunity to voice my thoughts and opinions, I have not grown fond of the writing style imposed upon me during my later high school years. The assignments were regurgitated College Board prompts given to me and my classmates by a teacher trying to prepare us for an exam that would not just reflect on us, but ultimately brand their…

Patricia Hampl’s “Memory and Imagination” provides a coherent insight about what a memoir consist of. Hampl begins to explain that a memoir is “a matter of transcription,” meaning that one has the power to present what details they choose to share. As a memoirist, you soon begin to question whether your memory is a reliable source or if your mind filled those empty gaps with desirous details. However, those memories that we simply remember must have been part of a life-changing moment that was…

Many first time college students experience fear and anxiety with writing. Often the intimidation of that blank white page causes stress and anxiety. As stated in the article “How to Overcome the Fear of Writing” by author Henri Junttila (2015), it is crucial that I first identify my fear and work at overcoming it. A few of the apprehensions I have faced in my writing is organizing my thoughts to make sure my sentences flow in a clear and consistent manner, connecting to my reading audience and…

The first parenting style that will be discussed is the authoritarian parenting style. Authoritarian parenting is characterized by behaviors that are highly limiting and tremendously demanding. Authoritarian parents are neither warm nor responsive to their children and have high maturity demands for their children due to the fact that they are intolerant of selfishness or inappropriate behavior (Marsiglia et.al. 2007; Spera, 2005). The authoritarian parenting style is associated with parents who…
