Some of my Assets in writing include my Thesis Statements, my tie in statements to my thesis, and the quality of the content. I will continue to try remaining strong in these areas, as well growing out of my weaknesses based on the strengths that I have. I enjoy writing when I feel no pressure, with time and practice, my stress level will go down consequently my writing will continue to improve.
My biggest area to work on is my punctuation. I have always had a hard time with this area, and it continues to be a struggle. The most challenging part for me is when reading examples; I have a hard time relating them to my writing. Some websites that I have found over the last couple of weeks that have helped me out are https://www.thepunctuationguide.com/, as well http://www.grammarbook.com/punctuation_rules.asp.

Many times, when writing a paper, I normally just start writing not worrying about the style later. I go through after I am done and remove the words like I, we, me, and us. With the current essay we are writing, I am making a greater effort to pay more attention to writing style, and correcting these errors as they occur. One exercise that I have found is at https://www.thebalance.com/how-to-start-writing-in-the-third-person-1277439. It has you find a piece of work written in the first person and rewrite it into the third person. (I have found this one the most successful.) I have also started to watch some videos to help me with my writing, one video that I found recently was, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDUXvXGg2Ss.

    This may sound a bit out of line, but it is true. Once I began to see writing as a conversation and not a perfect piece of paper I was able to break through and have an epiphany. I was able to express myself because instead of trying to find the right words to say, I was turning my feelings into the words themselves. I was being vulnerable to making mistakes and teaching myself that we are human: the best face to put forward is an honest one. After this breakthrough, I was able to improve my writing by: connecting with my audience, using rhetorical appeals, and learning self-criticism.

The reasons why writing is hard for me is because, a lot of times when I write I get distracted by, other people, thinking about something else on my mind, instead of what I am writing, finishing up my chores, etc. Also, when I write my grammar is incorrect, for example, pronoun errors. In other words, “Everybody don’t care if they hate it or not.” That was wrong, but the correct way to write it is, “Everybody don’t care if he or she hates it or not.”

    Being a teacher is a journey that has much to do with learning about yourself and being aware that what happens in your classroom reflects only on how are you with yourself. Teachers are not conscious that they project into students, and that affects how things go in the classroom.
