In my opinion I believe cursive was once a big part of learning when I was younger, now in days not so much. I remember how excited I would get in writing class when we were learning how to write in cursive. I loved writing my name and also doing my work in cursive just to show off. That was back then, things are different now. I'll explain how. Technology has taking a turn for the better. Most schools require you to do work on computers, for example, this Hi-Set test I'm taking is on a computer…

In my previous essay I wrote this: “All that matters is that one day, after I have finally gotten rid of the mask, I will finally figure out who I am”. Showing that the struggle with the mask has clouded me for so long that it left with an identity crisis. Though the last essay was the one that concentrated on using writing to help yourself, I do wish to continue using that same method and I also wish to mix it with the one for this essay. This essay concentrates on writing about the different…

of the data, and quantitative analysis • critical proficiency in using diverse theoretical perspectives to identify and formulate problems and draw conclusions (The Writing 20) I feel that I have demonstrated competency in these goals. Each of the essay assignments gave me the opportunity to do so. In each assignment…

This personal statement may look like my personal diary if focusing on what I will say in the whole essay. First of all, I am sorry if there are any specific areas having out of topic, or difficult understanding. I don’t want this essay to be the most perfect, but just want to be the important message expressing to you to read hopefully in terms of my feelings and perspectives influenced from Cornell. This transfer admission to Cornell is really meaningful and has taught lots of things I’ve…

This quarter I learned that I was terrible at close reading. However, more importantly I learned that close reading is not merely reading the text before you, but also involves digesting the text and questioning why the author used a certain rhetorical strategy or featured a certain detail. I learned to be more focused on on the reading and what message is being conveyed and how it is being conveyed. This is the first year I have heard the term close reading. In past years, my teachers implied…

Throughout the year, as a class we have been given many different challenges in either the form of an essay, speech, or group presentation. The final assignment given to us was a group project presentation. From growing up in an age filled with technology, I have come to love projects that revolve around making some form of a PowerPoint presentation. This PowerPoint though, was both difficult and interesting for the reasons of being assigned group members not of my own choosing, learning to…

to a fellow stallion about meeting humans, or a lengthy series of rhymes about a sandwich passing through the digestive system, the imaginative nature of these "fun" assignments has brought out more of my character than any research paper or formal essay. Having the freedom to write without consequence or restriction in thought, I can utilize writing as a form of expression. The artist in me is immediately…

During my time as a writer in middle school I improved my ability in many areas. I never liked writing essays in english, the only part I really liked about was my friends in that class. I would want to talk to them the whole period instead of doing my work but I couldn’t. Some of my best strengths as a writer in middle school are coming up with stories and being able to describe searnios well. Also one of my strengths are being able to come up with a claim, getting evidence from the text and…

assignment and the compare and contrast essay there were many parallels that I noticed. When we were first given the visual bio assignment in class you being to emphasize the importance of making the title slide an eye catcher. When doing the title slide, we had to take in consideration of color choice and word selection to really get our readers attention. When given the compare and contrast assignment, the same guidelines followed just in a different way. With the essay we are not using the…

shows some sincerity and also a lesson that can be learned from the experience. This is shown as I write this essay, because I am writing about how I learned to write better and found my writing style. Although now it seems easy to write in that form, but it can be difficult for me to sometimes share some of my personal stories. For example, I once wrote about my relationship in a college essay because of some issues that we were facing. I wanted to write about it, because writing can also be…
