Paper mill

until recently, I hated writing papers. This seems like an ironic place to confess that, but it is true. I would dread the process of staring at a blank screen until I managed to get words to finally begin flowing. More than anything, I hated the revision process. I remember once I got a rough draft back from a teacher with some harsh criticism and nearly cried in class. I always hated my writing voice, it seemed too casual, not matter-of-fact enough. I would read papers from authors like David…

I wanted to make sure my paper was taken seriously and was crafted in such a way that it convinced you to agree with me. The topic was something I had taken to heart and pushed me to create the piece of writing that I am most proud of. When I re-read my paper for the final time and thought about all of the effort I put into it, it was an anagnorisis. I finally understood why literacy was so…

When writing a paper there are steps that need to be taken to have a perfect paper to be proud of. But sure there are going to be some complications and moments to give up, but not only students have trouble in the matter of fact professional writers have the same problems too.

Tatianna Baker Ghost Boy Reflection Ghost Boy is written as a journey, which the reader takes along with the writer. The journey gives a vivid picture of what an individual with physical limitations goes through and how AAC can truly change one's life. Having the opportunity to read this book this semester has opened my eyes to the life these individuals live and has shown me how important our job as a speech pathologist can be. Before reading this book I hadn’t put much thought into…

boundaries, go where I am no supposed to go, and do things that will continue causing me to learn and grow. I started writing an autobiography over the summer and the hardest part by far was writing the exposition–starting the story of my life on paper. The autobiography I started in the summer describes thoughts and other portions of my ego as well as the experiences I’ve had in great depth. For the sake of keeping this one short, I won’t give you my entire life story. Instead I will write a…

strips, first I folded a piece of construction paper hot dog style into fourths. I then cut out the four sections along the folded lines. I then took one of the sections and measured how long the paper was (hot dog style, the long way). The piece of paper was 12 inches long. For the fraction 1/12 I divided the 12 inches by 12 which gave me 1 inch. Using a ruler, I then proceeded to mark every 1 inch until I reached 12 on my paper with a pencil. I cut the paper with…

Overcoming My Literacy Journey I can remember as a child probably second or third grade and my Dad pointing to some really hard word in the dictionary. I was able to read that word with ease. He had expressed how he thought I would excel in reading until one day everything changed. I became what I would define as a terrible reader. To say the least my literacy journey has been rather challenging and even frustrating at times. I can remember when I was in elementary school when I became a…

MHS Summer Reading Self Reflection Afrin Mirza When I started to read the book I thought it would be a regular book with sentences and paragraphs, but it turns out that the book came to life in my mind. The book kept me engaged and interested the entire time because it was one of the most relatable books I’ve ever read. The main character Patti Yoon and I have many similarities that I could spot easily. Not to mention that our lives were also very similar, her parents were the stereotypical…

Commit Revised Descriptive/ Reflective Place Essay Reflection: What makes this essay better than its original form is that I added more detail to give the reader a better understanding. Just adding one small detail can change the reader's perspective. I have also learned to incorporate different types of sentences to improve my writing style. “Come on dude, just do it.” Brady’s encouraging voice kept echoing over and over in my head. Pressure filled my mind as if it were air filling a…
