With a pencil in my right hand and the wheels of my thought train circling through my head I feel as though I am limitless. When given a “free range of motion” within my writing, I feel as though I can take my audience anywhere. As a writer I enjoy free writing which allows me to use not only my imagination, but my feeling and emotions too. Although I enjoy writing not every writing experience of mine has been positive. I have been critiqued, criticized and chastised for my works, but I have only grown from this harsh commentary. As a writer I want my writings to influence and inspire others. That is why I took my negative writing experience and decided to have positive outlook on in I came into my junior year of high school thinking
I’m not a notable writer, nor have I really wanted to join the writing industry. However, I have been interested in other people’s writing. From their deep meanings, content, and different formats/styles. It’s a wondrous creation made from within our imagination and experiences. It has inspired me to write too. I’ve been writing most of my life that it has become a necessity. And now from my past experiences with writing, I try my best to improve my skills as a writer for the future.
All throughout my years of schooling, I’ve had just about, one paper that was about one page long, due every year. My papers never had to be more than one page in length. Therefore, I did not have to do much writing or do many essays. Surely not enough to remember any of the assignments. Writing has never been something I enjoyed doing, so I never bothered to many any memories of my writing experiences. I did not think it was necessary to remember any of them since I only had to do them to get a grade. The only writing experience I remember was the first assignment I had in this English 100 class about a writing experience. All week long, I sat there thinking about what to write about, but nothing came to mind as a topic. Then, one thing came to mind, but it was so very vague, I could not write the length that was needed for the assignment. I could only think of a few sentences to write for it. After sitting for a few moments longer, I thought, how about I write about how difficult it was for me to write this essay before it was due.
The inevitable had happened; I, as a small child, was demanded to read. A little antisocial human being launched into a world of, at first, difficult words and lengthy phrases. While words and literacy were forced into my mind, I had reluctantly begun the adventure to enjoy and accept the art of literature. Later however, my hopes and dreams were crushed to pieces by a gruesome teacher with an interesting form of a so called “grading policy.”
Reading and writing has always created a sense of understanding for me in my art. Reading in the literal sense is a way that we understand text or symbols in our minds which in turn create meaning. Writing also in a literal sense is our way of communicating our knowledge and emotions to others through symbols in text. The human experience for all people includes communication and through reading and writing this experience is created. From the beginning of this course, my only prior experience with reading and writing were high school level course over literature and reading. I had an average level of rhetoric,reading,writing and language overall however, understanding the significance of these subjects was never put forth in such a way until I took this course. I discovered through this course that reading is a combination of not only our “visual information” but also our “nonvisual information”. My comprehension of reading has evolved from reading
I am very excited for this semester with you as my English 101 professor. I am proficient in both reading and writing, but I hope to grow and improve my skills with your help.
I walk into my bright, and decorative bedroom after a long, and tiring day of school. Turning on the lights, I steer towards my dresser set to retrieve my previously sharpened pencil and partially filled notebook. I find myself sitting on my fuschia papasan chair. With my notebook in my hand, I slowly open it to reveal a fresh clean sheet of paper. With peace and inspiration filling my mind, body, and soul, I begin to fill its pages with tried attempts of poetry and eventful situations of my day. A smile forms onto my lips as I stare at it. Writing about myself and experiences was all I knew.
My childhood never consisted of a basic family routine. Other than my own house, I spent a majority of my time between my aunt’s and grandma’s house, which had a major impact on the way reading and writing has affected my life today. I was around the age of four when I began the first stages of my interests in reading. My aunt was the first one to sit down with me and begin the layout of my love for reading by teaching me the alphabet and the basic sounds of each letter. And my grandma was the first one to ensure the writing factor as she often told me stories that she had written herself. These two women, along with my schooling, are the benefactors behind my success in reading and writing to this day. Reading and writing have been very important
It seems that every writer sat down and just stared at a blank sheet of paper or at a blank screen on their laptop. At that moment writers are trying to processes the materials in their head and trying to figure out how to start writing or typing a well organize essay. As one of those writers, I have trouble starting my essays, I prefer to be in a quiet area to process my thoughts, and before I start writing I prefer to make an outline to make my essay a lot easier.
The other reason that makes me feel uncomfortable about writing is that what if somebody read my papers and they will laugh at me because of my bad grammars and stupid ideas. I always find it’s so embarrassing to share my papers to others, even to my teachers. However, I don’t mind my teachers that much. At least I always turn in my best work to my teachers, even if they’re bad, they’re still my effort. Despite that fact, there was a time when I was in 11th grade that I was really disappointed in my teacher. She was a student teacher. She was nice and friendly, everyone liked her, included me. But it was this one thing she did that made me feel uncertain about my feeling for her. Whenever we were in computer lab and typing essays, she always
In the modern age, many people live in the United States, a culturally diverse country. Most people that I have come across here, especially students, believe that writing is a gift of God received at birth. "I am not a good writer!" they say. It is not uncommon for me or my friends to often find themselves struggling with writing a paper, or even a simple email. However, I feel, that we all forget to acknowledge the fact that writing is a challenging task and requires practice. Even a good writer can have a hard time in expressing himself. No one is a qualified writer from birth. It is an individual's dedication and hard work that makes him better in his skills of writing. It is very important to be a sound writer since it plays a vital
Writing. I have a conflicting past with it. When I was younger, I wrote outside of school due to a fascination with creating fictional worlds, with numerous possibilities, but as I aged, I developed a strong fear of others disliking my work. By the time I reached high school, I stopped writing outside of class entirely. The my story on writing reaches its climax two weeks before the end of my junior year of high school at Spirit Christian Academy. During this time, I considered myself to be the worst writer in the school. I also had a habit of exaggerating for emphasis. I knew that in order to improve my writing, I would need to forget my fears. My junior year, I made a choice that year that would not only pivot my academic career, but also teach me a valuable lesson about criticism and writing.
I have written lots of stories and essays during my high school journey. I'm not an excellent writer, but I am a quick learner. The only time I write essays is for the school work. I seldom did anything out of school or writing for leisure. I am good at writing facts rather than essays. I always thought that writing is something that knowledgeable people with huge vocabulary do. And I am not, by any means, a Shakespear. I do not find writing to be natural, therefore find it very challenging.
My relationship with writing is sometimes rough. I haven’t done a whole lot of writing so far in my life. I have been out of school for almost 20 years. So, there will be some adjusting to getting back used to writing but it will come back with practice. Some of the fears I have about writing are keeping everything congruent.
I created my first short story when I was eight-years-old. It became more elaborate as the years went by, and that story will become a children’s book. I will admit, though, that majoring in English was not always my intention. Throughout elementary school, weekdays included writing short stories and attempting to teach my pets how to read, while weekends consisted of wrapping my dog’s “broken” legs in toilet paper and researching uncommon illnesses. Literature became a top priority, and my aspiration to become a physician was replaced by an eagerness to become a writer.
We all cope with our problems differently and use different things as an escape from our issues. I turned to writing and found a passion in telling a story that may one day help someone that has face the same obstacles that i have , along with writing i began doing makeup , and found the deeper meaning than just applying makeup on faces.
