Diagnostic Many people have written the way Quindlen talks about in her essay, it does help some individuals with what they may be going through. I have written the same way and it has helped me get through tough times. The experience was hard to get through because sometimes people want what may be happening to end and not relive it. Although, writing can help anyone escape from their problems and get their problems out.
Hello, I am Connor Love. I am writing this letter as a soon to be former student of Katy Leuschen 's "Waves of Change" writing 111 class. The first semester of my collegiate career has taught me many valuable lessons, from learning how to better succeed academically to how to deal with the flu without my mother. The lessons I have learned in writing class have not only helped my writing abilities grow, but also have helped me improve in other aspects of my life. During "Waves of Change" I learned how to revise my work, more importantly, that uncertainty during the writing process is normal, and revise my thinking.
Throughout my schooling, I initially was not a strong writer. But, after taking
Self Assessment: Jacob Thomas As a writer, I have grown in many ways, First I took English Comp 150 last semester. This class taught me a lot about my life due to a book we read The Last Lecture. However, I did not like to read so I showed much resentment towards it. As the deadline approached I finally opened the book that would make me love to read again. In school there is many classes where I can express creativity just like Dr Seuss did in his imaginative books.
Writing guides me through unexplored paths and when things seem hazy or when I am lost, it helps me find my way. It is like an illuminating lamp that guides
I 've learned that reading and writing can take me any where I want it to go. I can explore my mind to go anywhere by imagination, by reading and writing. However,My reading and writing experience since I was a kid until now I still having a difficulty. When I was 3 years old my mom started me to learn how to read and write. At first, I 'm having a difficulty to read and write but my mom tried her best to taught me.
I struggled to write essays and stories because I focused too much on what I thought my English teachers wanted to hear me say, instead of what I actually thought. I dreaded thinking about senior year English because I knew that meant boring paper after boring paper, but the summer before my senior year started I read the book Milk and Honey. At first I found the story to be very dark and depressing, but when I got to the last section of the book, the healing, I realized that she was telling her life story. I decided to go back and read the book from the beginning, but this time I saw the book as if I was standing next to her has she went through these experiences and I couldn’t put the book down, her story intrigued me. Rupi Kaur taught me that it is okay to tell people how you really feel and share with them those personal
Writing process is difficult to realize since it requires a lot of skills and knowledge. Definitely, not many of us can start writhing right away without having any problems such as grammar, vocabulary or organization. However, a person can become a better writer if he or she will practice writing every day and will pay attention to his writing problems. To become a good writer, I have to improve my grammar, follow specific steps in writing process, and avoid using similar transitional words. Grammar is the number one problem in the writing process and causes me a lot of issues.
I can 't remember when I began writing as a hobby, but I 've done it long enough for it to feel like a part of me. Everyday, whenever I have time or am in the mood, I try to write something before I go to bed. Whatever that had been scratching at my brain, or something that I want to experiment, I write down before the thought becomes meaningless. Inspirations come from many different sources and at many different times of the day. Often times I find myself struck with an idea when I 'm outside, only to inconspicuously jot my thoughts down onto my phone.
My writing extravaganza began in second grade when my world was changed, thanks to the teachings of Mrs. Clutter. The most distinct memories I hold from that year includes the colorful, giant list of homophones hanging on the wall, and the purple writing journals we kept throughout the year. The fire for writing that I developed in this class continued with me as I traveled to third grade and the rest of my elementary experience, but quickly died out when it came to middle school. Through a random app that I had learned about from my cousin, that fire easily rekindled and I was back to writing by eighth grade. These memories are just a minuscule fragment of the whirlwind of words that is my writing style.
Learning new skills in writing has assisted in so many over ways than just writing for school, it has helped in my career. Writing is such a beneficial trait to hold. I plan to improve day by day. I have so many opportunities available and plan to use to my full
Since I was young, I have struggled with writing. It is not a strong suit of mine, and am not able consider myself a writer. Even through my constant writers block, I would not go to the extreme of hating but neither loving. I understand the concept of writing and have accepted that it is necessary for everyday life, that is where I stand with writing. Although I do enjoy reading and talking, and I happen to be exceptionable at both.
Personally, I know that I use writing as a way to express myself, along with my thoughts. These past few years I have struggled with anxiety, depression and nightmares. For me this is when writing became so important. I keep a journal on the side of my bed at all times. In this journal I write down not only what worries me, but also any dreams that wake me up in the middle of the night.
Writing allowed me to be able to release all of my inner thoughts on to a piece of paper. Starting at a young age, I loved writing. I loved that writing allowed me to be able to put all the feelings and thoughts that were flowing through my head onto a piece of paper. Growing up, my love for writing began to fade. All this love that once appeared in my writing, gone.
High school grows you into the person you are. I have great memories, good and bad, some learning experiences and some that I’ll take with me the rest of my life. My high school experience has influenced my development as a person inside and outside of the class by making me more independent, choosing friends wisely and teachers motivating me to attend college and accomplish goals I have set for myself. I have gained my independence slowly throughout high school. The importance of being independent is being secure with who you are and what you believe in.
