My Writing Experience Essay

572 Words3 Pages

Within every subject at school, reading, writing, and chemistry posed a big challenge for me during my high school years. I excel in most subjects, but these three were the hardest to get. The key solution to my problem was to put my mind to it and do very best that I can. This wasn’t easy and I couldn’t do it by myself, there were several factors that allowed me to overcome the difficulties and excel in all subjects. At the reading I was horrible, I couldn’t understand anything I read “What’s the purpose behind reading?” I ask myself. Well, turns out reading had a different meaning than what I thought. Reading was never interesting for me. Reading a book was so boring that most of the time I would start watching television and pretend the …show more content…

Both difficulties really hurt me throughout my high school. For my freshman year I failed the writing STARR test by a few points. There I made up my mind to pass the writing STARR test on my first tried on my sophomore year. The teacher was so great at teaching me how to fix my grammar problems and improve my word choice. The next year for my junior year I took my writing skills to the next level by taking a college level writing class from HCC. My writing skills improved more than I thought, but still had some bad sentence structures. By the end of the year I got a B in the class, but the problem still remains and can be solved.
Lastly chemistry was the hardest to understand due to the fact that there were so much explanation going on that it took the whole period just to answer one question. To top it all of the teachers didn’t really explain the sequence well enough. The course wasn’t really taught well, but I still managed to pull through and get A on the regular chemistry and a C in a college level class. Even though I still need more work for my chemistry I believe I can be ready for it for a second time and do better by studying more.
All the challenges I had faced on my academic journey, I was able to find out that hard work and dedication will help me overcome many difficulties in any subject. The challenges I faced so far will help me thrive in college and lead to

  • Science Honor Society Narrative

    203 Words  | 1 Pages

    My freshman year of high school was difficult for me to adjust to and I did not perform to the best of my ability on my biology honors midterm. Due to this discrepancy, I was unable to be accepted into the Science Honor Society in junior year. Although disappointed that a singular grade had the ability to decide a part of my future two years later, I continued to work hard, especially in my science courses. Junior year, I decided to challenge myself and take an AP Physics course, even though I had never taken a physics course prior. This class was excruciatingly demanding and a new experience for someone who had never taken an AP class before.

    My Experience in WRIT 101 Imagine, you are halfway done with your last and final high school English class and realize you have never really understood the point of English class until now. In all my previous English classes I was so lost and never really understood anything my teachers taught me. I was always so anxious and nervous because I was afraid that everyone else would think I was dumb since I did not understand and know as much as them. WRIT 101 has changed that and now my grade in this class is the best it has ever been in an English class thanks to Mrs. Schlauch. Over the semester, I have grown and developed as a writer, demonstrated awareness of rhetorical situations in my own writing and applied the skills and practice I have

  • Write An Essay About My Writing Process

    It was no surprise to me to realize that my writing process revolves around comfort and warm drinks. I’ve always been a fan of the cozy, of the warm and comfortable, so it made sense that when it came to sitting down and writing an essay, those preferences would follow. The first thing I do when I want to start an essay is make some tea. It’s a routine I picked up from my mother, and just the habit of getting the tea out of the cabinet and putting the kettle on starts to switch my mind’s train of thought from every day life into a goal-oriented mindset that’s perfect for writing an essay.

Definitely, not many of us can start writhing right away without having any problems such as grammar, vocabulary or organization.

  • What Does Schoolwork Mean To Me

    I remember the first time I read a book in its entirety—and the first book I read that I thoroughly enjoyed—because it was only a few years ago. Unlike most English majors, I was not a “born reader.” I did not read for pleasure until after I graduated high school, which was a mere four years ago. I remember during high school I did not like to read and even tried to avoid any reading unless I was forcefully assigned to for, say, a book report or some project that required reading. Because of this, I considered reading to being schoolwork—and I did not want to do schoolwork.

    During high school essays I would struggle to begin or introduce my opening paragraph. I would sit on my desk pondering without an effective plan to build my essay. As time would desperately consume thinking quickly would be the only option making me go through a “panic stage.” Basically, the uneasy feeling would make an approachable prompt confusing.

    Throughout my time in the Bowling Green English class, I believe I hit every learning outcome required of me. In the essays I wrote, I believe I had a very strong grasp on most of them, passing all of them with flying colors despite a few flaws in the writing of a specific two. These specific two were essays #1 and #2. Although the writing on these essays were not up to par with the other two, I was still able to meet the learning outcome on them fairly well and make myself a better writer. Throughout my time in class I also believe my writing has greatly improved for use in future classes or work.

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.
