Process states

Coming into a college class made me nervous from the beginning because like many people I was afraid of the unknown. However, I was excited and scared about what was to come and how I would meet the challenges that I would face. At my previous school that I was attending, we wrote essays all the time so that could help prepare ourselves for writing college essays. Fast forward from my freshman year to now, my junior year, I know that I was nervous for no apparent reason. During English 111 I…

technical error and I had to depend on cards. The mock interview will probably be more beneficial to me than the other presentations. Even though I had a job in the past, an interview wasn’t required. Learning the process of working on a cover letter and a resume help me understand the process and effort that goes into applying a job. When it came around the monologue section, I knew that I had to work hard to memorize the speaking role. I look bacon onto my past speeches and focus what I…

In English 1101 I have improved my writing skills. I learn things from grammar, about run on words and how to put my thoughts together and put them on paper. I learn how to research paper. I learn how to change my writing process based on the guidelines of the assignment that I was giving. I didn't do really well in that class because of my bad time managing skill, I didn't get a lot of work done on time. I have a lot of things going on in my life. After school I go straight to work, and after…

Being Yourself In Ink Writing to me is a license to connect myself and my intuition to my work. What I enjoy and dislike about writing, what I have been taught and what works for me, is the foundation for my development as a writer. I do not like to write in unnatural and concrete ways, I enjoy putting as much of myself into my writing as possible. Besides, who does not like to talk about themselves? In an overall aspect I am a simple writer, I write what I enjoy and enjoy what I…

My main object of the essay was sugar babies, but I had to make my research from the sugar daddies view. Majorities of the…

I went and saw the author Charles Baxter at the Reedley College the other day, it was the first time I had ever attended anything like that before, like sat in while an author read a few paragraphs from his book. It was very interesting being able to hear pieces of a book knowing we could ask question to the man who wrote the book himself. The room was filled with people, so many people that they had to bring in chairs, people were even sitting on the stairs, and in the front on the floor. The…
