Wait Until the Last Minute? As I sit here debating on a topic to write about for my latest assignment, all I can think is, “why did I leave this essay until the last minute?” I have had a good week or so to come up with a topic and start the writing process, yet here I sit with a blank Word Document in front of me which is not going to type itself. Why did I do this to myself? More importantly, why do I always procrastinate? When students procrastinate, they are deliberately participating in a…
Next steps After analyzing my 10 student work samples, I now know exactly what students need to work on. The first next step that I would like to do would be coming up with a different outline before students write their paper that will help students to write more than a sentence that states their opinion and concluding thoughts. Before students wrote their paper, we made an outline and they were only required to provide one topic sentence and concluding sentence that stated and supported their…
engagements into smaller, more manageable pieces in order to more frequentl y and consistently deliver measurable, added value. Each delivery provides an opportunity to validate the work -in-progress against expectations. Repeated deliveries promote process consistency and provide opportunities to improve processes. In this way they create the potential for solutions to become self-funding as the business benefits of each success more than offset ongoing development costs…

completely messed that up. Works such as “Shitty First Drafts” by Anne Lamott and “On Keeping a Notebook” by Joan Didion were introduced to me and encouraged me to find my own style and stick to it. Anne Lamott’s“Shitty First Drafts” is about the writing process in general and how it is not only okay, but encouraged, that the writer creates multiple…
At the early age of 21, I discovered that life can throw you a curve ball. However, it’s what you do in that situation that can ultimately define you as a person. My curve ball came when I realized that my marriage wasn’t healthy for my children and me, which resulted in me parlaying my dream of a bachelor’s degree after completing my associates at TVCC. After 3 years of dead end jobs I stumbled into a career as an office manager; advancing upon that career for the subsequent 17 years. As…

thru an enchanted park, the writing process would be a breeze. In relation to Anne Lamott’s “ Getting Started” article. Writing is far from a walk in the park. “You clear a space for the writing voice, you are desperate to communicate, to edify or entertain, to preserve moments of grace or joy or transcendence, to make real or imagined events come alive” (Lamott). Lamott discusses how many students and great writers become overwhelmed with the writing process. Lamott gives plenty advice on…
My Motivation: What motivates me the most to pursue a college degree is that I will be the first person in my family to receive one. My grandmother is the backbone behind this motivation because she was always making sure that academics came first in my life. There was rarely a day that I would come home and she would not ask me questions about my homework, asking what I learned in school, or even looked over my homework. As I got older, she made sure I was a part of a college prep program…
