writing I learned its always good to express yourself with your own opinion. In writing your suppose to use descriptive details and to always have a point to why you are writing the story. My writing didn’t until I came to college; being in your class has been teaching me how to write. It’s bad a way that I just started writing because I have way…
voice and by the time Senior Year came around I found Creative Writing and had a strong sense of voice. In Creative Writing (my final high school English class) there were no comma errors, little required organization, with an emphasis on pathos and setting the scene; one could say that after several years of not stepping into a classroom, this is what my college writing most closely resembled. As mentioned earlier my final high school English class did not require proper…
I wasn’t in any way interested in getting up in front a class full of critics, staring at me as I cited something as sweet as a poem. I was completely afraid that they would laugh or think I was corny. Reluctantly I joined the class and to my surprise it was my favorite class of all. I started off sitting in the back of the class and I would just spend the period observing the other students. One day, my teacher gave us an assignment that consisted…
illustrate my creativity in words, the way for me to express my ideas, and the way for me to get lost in time doing something I enjoyed. My favorite form of writing was fiction. I was always a fan of writing fiction because I considered myself to be a creative person and my creativity was something I loved to show off in my work. The truth is I wish everything that I just wrote was true, but it is not. Nobody in my family, including myself, has ever enjoyed writing or has written by free will. I…
Where did it all begin? I often ask myself how I arrived at this place in my life when it comes to reading and writing. Let’s start at the beginning of my 31 years. When I was around the age of 3 I was forced to go to church as most children that age are. My attention span was non existent to say the least. My mother, knowing that it would be far fetched to get me to sit and behave for 3 hours of my small life decided to try to keep my mind occupied by giving me the hymn book to read.She knew I…
My first goal for this course is to write fast and naturally. Personally, writing in English is a time-consuming and stressful job for me. It takes me more time time than domestic students to write an essay. A lot of times, I sit in front of my computer for hours trying to figure out what I should write for my next sentence. Even though I thought of what to write in Korean, sometimes it takes me awhile to translate it into English. For these reasons, I sincerely want to write my assignments…
I remember starting this creative writing class thinking I didn’t have any story to tell or share and wondered how I was going to pass the class, since I knew what I was getting myself into. I actually just hoped for the best. As class progressed and we read Writing Down the Bones by Natalie Goldberg book, I was hooked. It was such a magical book. Everytime I opened it, I was transported into a coveted world of writers, full with secrets only writers know and I felt welcomed to know those…
During my freshman year at Aims I was having to complete these difficult writing assignments. At first I was struggling, but then I was introduced to the Aims OWL by my professor in my English 121 class. From The Aims OWL I was able to get the writing help that I needed to become successful in my English class. English 121 students who are struggling in their writing should consider using the Aims OWL because it is an incredibly credible, relevant, reliable, and easy to understand resource.…
love being in Ms. Favela's class because I get to learn new things and at the same time, I'm also more creative, more sociable with others. Other than Spanish class, I'm surprisingly pretty good in chemistry, and the funny thing is I never thought that I could do well in chemistry. Still, I hate history and math. We can't leave out the memorable part of the classes, which contains all of my embarrassed moments. Like I said, I hate when I have to stand up in front of the class and do the…
idea what I was doing, who I wanted to be, or what the next four years would be like, and a tentatively declared English major. I didn’t know where I was headed, I didn’t really even know what I wanted, but I did know that I liked books and English class in my past years of school. I actually almost went to Western to major in business, but that’s a story for another time. When I’d met with the academic advisors during…
