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.

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…

I am both nervous and stressed that I will not fully understand the requirements of the writing assignment. When I think of creating a research paper I worry that I will not use enough words to get my point across. Before starting at Belhaven my emails were anything but detailed and at least once a week I was reminded to use more words. With each class, I learn more tools that will help me with my writing. I have learned to create a formal outline. It has helped me to better understand the…

The space available in the outdoor play environment allows children to participate in more active physical activities and provides a setting for children to express themselves, move, explore and learn their bodies capabilities through different physical plays (Little & Sweller, 2015, para. 5).

Very few opportunities exist to watch writing in process and to understand the approach.. I remember visiting a…
