She was just sitting there filling this paper out. She was finished by the time I was done with 2 of the questions. When she finished, she…

As a first-year student, I didn’t fully understand the importance of RA’s. It wasn’t until I moved in on August 23rd that I fully understood their meaning. The move in process was hectic to begin with it, but with the help of RA’s explaining everything that needed to be done, things that we could and couldn’t have, and guiding us in the direction to making new friends. I can honestly say I couldn’t have done it without them. This is one of the reasons why I would like to pursue being an RA. I…

“Temporary Home” by Carrie Underwood is the perfect song to compare to the My Favorite Word essay. In this song she sings about a few storylines. There about people who are living in houses, not homes. This is a major topic throughout my paper. There are connotations with the word house. It feels cold and focuses on the structure. A home is inviting and full of loved ones. This song represents that idea, which is why I chose it. When I handed in my essay for peer response I did not have a…

Every person has strengths and weaknesses when it comes to writing papers and after writing multiple papers throughout my high school career, I’ve discovered I have more weaknesses than strengths. I believe that I noticed more weaknesses than strengths because it is easier for a person to point out the flaws in themselves rather than the positives. My greatest strengths are not procrastinating, staying focussed when writing and using a variety of vocabulary words. A few of my weaknesses are…

I have never been a strong writer as I don’t have much creativity. I have a hard time coming up with ideas and I work better with facts rather than fiction. One of the things that I need to improve on is the process of idea formulation. The thought process for thinking of a thesis statement or a topic is a struggle for me. I relied on templates and researched quite a bit during College Composition 107 in order to make my work sound good. Although I maintained a 4.0 GPA in the class, I still…

Follow me as I tell the tale of a girl who lost her confidence in writing. There once was a girl named Oretha who loved to write stories any chance she could. Her mind was a fairytale and when she put a pen on paper her characters would come to life. It was like painting a picture only hers was an imaginary world. How did she learn to write you might ask. Well, it is because she read tons of books. so many she can hardly count. Those books helped her realize her love for fairy tales and she…

I’m Maliha Ashraf, and if I were to describe myself in a single sentence, it would be in the lines of “I am a person of varying interests”. I once read, “An educated person is the one who knows something about everything, and everything about something”. I have tried to follow this quote ever since then, and I would put myself in the former stage of personal education in the light of the mentioned quote. I read a lot, and I’m not very choosy regarding my reading material; I read whatever I can…
