One of the things that makes me as a stronger and more develop writer, is what my passion lies on, which is Filmmaking. There are also many different ways that you can be stronger as a writer, but what is the point of doing something if you are not enjoying it. A quote from one of my favorite actress Jennifer Love Hewitt, “The ultimate dream in life is to be able to do what you love and learn something from it”. Therefore, as a filmmaker, I always thought that writing is a really good practice…

There was this competitive scholarship that my school offered to the top three best essay writers. To qualify, you had to be accepted into a four year college, your GPA had to be higher than a 3.6, and you had to be a minority. I had to do my best because there were a lot of great writers that were competing. The essay prompt was “What would it mean to you to be awarded a NaphCare Foundation Scholarship?” I thought about things in my life that means a lot to me, so I began to write about how…

This semester I have grown significantly in many aspects, I thought I had already mastered. From the very beginning I had to improve to be able to keep up with the structure, my teacher created for this class. This made me grow in my skills to communicate ideas. For example, one major project we had to do was a Job Shadow. This project involved a rigorous search for potential shadows in different careers. Once the shadows were found we had to be able to communicate with them well enough to get…

that I like most is a combination of brainstorming and listening. It's a combination because I will record my ideas (brainstorming) about what I will write about. Then listing to my brainstorm in a form of a recording, it comes a combination strategy. I find this combination of both strategies to work well for me. Being that English is my second langue, when I brainstorming my ideas onto a paper I get stuck trying to spell a word and losing my train of thought. By switching to recording myself…

Today’s poems were very interesting, I was very excited to hear my colleagues poems. Starting with the Family Photo poem. To be honest, I was totally sympathized with Einal’s poem. Even though it wasn’t a rhymed poem, and didn’t have many metaphoric it touched me deep inside. Since I know that she lost her father when she was in the 9th grade, so it just touched my feelings. The second poem was English as a Second language, only three of us read this poem. Shadi, Nour and I. actually, I liked…

I used this opportunity to discover which stage of Piaget’s cognitive development my ten-year-old cousin is currently experiencing. Since he is at the age of ten, he falls into the stage of concrete operational. I thought it was intriguing to watch and see how his thought process worked with both activities. I used the Jo Short activity and the water into different sized glasses activity to test that my cousin matched the stage that his age categorized him as. I started off with reading the…

A New World Imagine what your life would be like if you didn’t have the capability to read or write. For me, life would be quite dull, and a harsh reality. Reading is my escape. Nothing compares yo the moment when I open a book. I get so involved into the story that I feel as if I am one of the characters getting to experience everything alongside them. And when I, or anyone for that matter writes, they have the opportunity to create a masterpiece in which their readers can too feel that…

Writing is not my strength, and I have to work very hard at it. Module Two homework assignment was a shining example of that. I did not do good job on my first try. Even though the assignment was clear and requirements clearly stated, I still had trouble to come up with the good topic idea and working thesis statement for my Narrative essay. On my first try, I chose a topic, brainstorming notes, and working thesis that were more suitable for an Expository essay. After professor’s feedback, I…

When I was younger, hair braiding was a very challenging motor skill for me to learn. This was because I found it difficult to cross the strands of the hair with my fingers. The more I practiced was the better the braid the turned out over the years. In order to braid a ponytail or a section of the hair, one must first detangle the hair by combing or brushing through it. The section of hair (or ponytail secured by a scrunchy) should be separated equally into three parts. The left hand will hold…

In chapter nine I also learned how to properly write a introduction type of paper. How to actually create a strategy to form a good thesis and introduction paragraph.
