My Experience: My Writing Experience

When I enrolled in college, my student advisor went over my degree plan, and made recommendations on what courses I would need in the pursuit of my degree. Thinking to myself, that I had not been in a school environment since 1991, I had my fears and didn’t know how I would conform inside a classroom with younger students who was straight out of high school or no more than five years removed. The student advisor recommended that I begin my degree with WRTG 101, and that I take this course online. Online courses appeared to be the path to take, because you can learn at your own pace without holding other students up and looking dumb while doing it. Taking WRTG 101 in an online format proved not to be the best solution, because I have always been a face to face, teacher present type of learner, and I am not a computer savvy individual. I began WRTG 101 this semester with minimal writing skills, and after numerous writing assignments and exercises I believe that I am now on my way to

I found student essay number two to be more free of error than student essay one was. Even though it had less issues in it, it still was not perfect as it is very hard for anyone regardless of academic status to write without error. The three main problems that I found in this essay were spelling, usage, and formatting. Spelling was an issue for the writer of this paper in a few different instances. The errors were small, and I did not find any huge glaring issues, but nonetheless, they were still issues. For example, in paragraph two, the student was referring to “unique intonation” but spelled the phrase “unique intonasion”. There is also another instance of a spelling issue in the second complete paragraph on page three. The student spelled

I am currently a teenager whose writing has developed significantly over the past few years. In fact, my writing was absolutely shocking when I was younger; it was only recently that it has improved.

Without support and acknowledgement it is relatively hard for growth to take place. When a young developing mind has questions that go unanswered it is very hard for them to want to ask questions as they mature. From a young age I disliked writing. To this day I despise the task. I remember always asking “why is writing necessary and useful to me?” and regularly receiving the answer “because you must”. Throughout my life certain teachers have expanded my desire to write but nevertheless I lose the passion to write when I move along with my academic career.

My interests are to learn to write and to speak English. English is very important for my life. Because English is international language.When I came from my country to the united states I could’t speak and understanding it but jest I could a little words in difficult accent.Because I born and grew up in the country side of my country Ethiopia. At that time no one I knew spoke English and I wasn’t exposed to English through books,magazines,or Tv. Today still I have a big problem to speak and to understanding. Specially when somebody’s speaking the language I never understand them, but I have improving a lot more than the past three years.That means right now I can read with the good accent and I can understand

The literary arts was never something that drew my interest. I always felt that reading and writing was more of a function, than it was a recreation and as such brought no special pleasure. During the years in which I was in school many assignments were completed at the behest of my subconscious. Though I regularly produced a work product that was sufficiently proficient, it was without any flare.

Writing has been around for centuries; writing gives us the ability to say what we want others to know by merely using words. Throughout history many styles of writing have been developed and different styles can make the reader feel excited, scared, sad and or even left hanging onto the edge of their seat. Everyone has their own style of writing; from the touching scripts written by William Shakespeare. To Plato the great ancient philosopher in Greece who founded the Academy of Athens. These are just some examples of how writing has impacted us and why it is so important.

I asked myself the questions how do I write? What does writing mean to me? and I sat staring at the computer screen for hours. I realized that I am the type of writer that likes to get to the point so here it is. I have personally always disliked writing, especially an assignment like this one that is so creative and open to one 's own ideas. They cause me a lot of stress. I like to be given a topic or specific writing instructions when it comes to writing an essay. I like structure, facts, and ideas that I can use, or maybe it’s because I don’t like writing about myself. I really don’t know, but what I do know is that writing to me is a way to express yourself. It lets all your ideas and thoughts on paper at the same time. Writing gives the

We must all go through some type of writing experience. Some experiences are harmful and tragic, while others offer a sense of joy and pride. Further ones are a formulated acquired skill or a beautiful and eloquent form of art. The process of our perception into what we write and convey is confounding because each person perceives it differently that the next.

Writing is a form of expressing yourself with words from your own thoughts and I have always seen writing for being creative and not just for school obligations. I use to write for fun; writing things based on book or movie reviews, letters to loved ones, or write my own thoughts down so I won’t forget later. Obviously, I wrote whatever came to mind, and was not too concerned on grammar or paragraph and sentence structure. I hoped that within this class, I can take myself serious and actually learned to use them properly. Therefore, I feel like I accomplished my goals by learning and applying the basics of writing.

This semester, in English Composition 101, I feel that I have gained valuable tools to assist in producing a quality, sound essay. The different styles of readings introduced the class to the various ways in which a writer can express themselves and the best techniques to reach the target

I have always enjoyed reading and writing, however, writing, never came so naturally for me. It has been ten years since my last English, or writing class. The extent of my writing today is limited to emails between co-workers, or simply texting on my cellphone. In the military you are trained to get straight to the point. Stop and think before you speak, and when it comes to writing, whether memos or emails, the same applies but the goal is to get to the point to obtain a quick straight forward response. I joined the military in hopes of traveling the world, gaining real life experience and a true love for the country my family and I migrated too twenty-four years ago. I planned to make the military my career, but now, at almost thirty years old, a father and a husband; I found myself craving more, furthering my education is not only how I can further my career, but also become a well-rounded, educated individual. I took English 101, not only because it is required for my degree, but because I knew I needed to expand my vocabulary, grammar and writing skills. I began English 101 as a mediocre writer, I am leaving English 101 with a few more skills, the potential, desire and most importantly the resources to become a great one.

Writing is a topic that most people shy away from. Some think that writing is something only a few gifted people can do, but there is a writer in all of us. Upon starting this course there was some doubt in my mind if I would be able to write a paper that reflected a person with writing skills. Admittedly, there are still a lot of things I need to learn and practice on, but I have learned a lot throughout this course. I have been able to learn some tools that will help my ability to write on a college level. The structure of my sentences and paragraphs has improved dramatically. I have learned how to write different types of papers from my own composing process to a critical argument essay. After taking these classes I know believe that everyone has the ability to write. With time, effort, some creative thought, and a few skills, anyone can be a writer.

People may think all writers are God of writing and they do not make mistakes while writing. However, there are many kind of writers. There is always levels on everything and for writers as well. When I first started to write for my papers for English 125, my experience was terrible. As a High School student I thought I had to write papers like American people meaning I had to use college level words and write like a real writer. In that point, I was totally wrong. I did not had a clear theme which is the main thing in a essay. Secondly, my evidence, connecting interpretation with the themes were unclear too. There were grammatical error, misword replaced, running sentences, punctuation errors. I got C- on that essay which was totally

In life you’re going to make mistakes, but it’s up to you to learn from the mistakes that you made. Admitting your wrong doings can be a bit tough. Learning from mistakes can be a good or a bad thing. Putting yourself in situations where you have the self-confidence to own up to it can be a mistake you can learn from in a good way. Once you realize what you have done, you can avoid making the same mistakes again.
