As for now, I almost finished in English 1001. As for international student, English writing is a big challenge for us. I still remember the first time I went to the classroom of English 725. I was pretty nervous because I knew academic writing is hard, but very important for my learning life. Through four quarters of study English academic writing, I feel more confident because I have learned lot academic writing skills from those courses, which helped me be a better writer on multiple aspects.…
want to share is, the basic yet often talked about transition, between high school and college. High school was so much easier for me back then, you could get away with so much more and not worried about homework as much. Now in college, it feels like I’ve sat down for the longest, scariest, most agonizing rollercoaster of my life. English in high school wasn’t much of a concern to me. Teachers didn’t persist on teaching students good writing habits or the depth of what writing can go into, like…

The experiences that I had from a young age shaped who I am today as a writer and helped me to appreciate writing. As I grew older, I didn’t like to write about myself much; however, when I was younger that was my favorite part about our English classes. I always had so many fun stories to tell. Writing and reading are intertwined, and when I was a child, my love for reading impacted my love for storytelling. We always had plenty of books made for young readers in the house. My mother also…
My history as a writer is somewhat brief. If the basics of learning to read and write are to be excluded, my experience as a writer spans less than a decade. I would say that I first started writing, as I now understand it, I was ten years old. Since then, I have learned writing formally and informally both in and out of a classroom setting. I would even say that I have learned the most about writing from outside of the classroom. The first time that I sat down and decided to write with the…
are becoming while the students had to take the initiative of learning some on their own. Reading and writing were brought to me various different forms, through parents, teachers, journaling on my own, my sister and peers. One of the biggest influences on my ability to read and write was my parents.…
Throughout the class, I would ideally like to focus on writing short stories, specifically focusing on fantasy. Personally, fantasy is one of my favorite genres to read, as I feel that an author has more artistic liberty with their story. Fantasy challenges the mind, making people consider the impossible and unbelievably if only for the course of the story. That’s what I love about it--it inspires people seek out the fantastical in everyday life. In the future, I want to be an author and…
forget about writing in general unless it’s basic and needed for work. Dusting off my hypothetical book was learning to annotate again, learning to be a writer and a student again and to see with both eyes open my mistakes. The mistakes, I often experienced in this course were my issues with writing, I had before I started this class and my issues with rerun sentences and apostrophe use when writing my first…
taking two classes during the spring semester. This class was challenging because I haven’t had a writing college course since 1997! Ten years later, I began WRTG with 12th grade writing skills; now I have learned how to improve my grammar, my writing technique, and structure my paragraphs; I feel like a college freshman again. I’ve had good experiences as well as bad experiences with my writing class. Having a full-time job, finding time to work out, along with being a wife, mom, student,…
