My Writing Experience

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.

Throughout my years of schooling, I have become ambivalent about reading and writing. I have struggled in school to make myself enjoy writing. I didn’t mind reading as much, as long as it was to my interest. It has differed throughout the years I have been in school. Some years I have enjoyed both, reading and writing, and other years I have not liked either. Getting myself to enjoy reading and writing has been quite the adventure.

I had trouble reading and writing my whole elementary career. I would get my alphabet mixed around and my letters backwards. Reading as child I would often get frustrated and stop trying, because I didn’t understand what reading and writing would mean to me as I got older. I began taking incentive and would read to myself and write my letters as times as it took to learn them. Their where many authors and people who helped me get to where I am now with my reading and writing. In this short-essay I will be discussing my writing and reading experiences.

My experience have been good but not so good. I'm not the best writer I struggle to get my ideas down.

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.”

I immensely struggled when writing. Taking my scrambled thoughts and uncoordinated analysis and converting it into clean and understandable words on a page was arduous. I could not express my thoughts in proper academic format. I understood the importance of writing to every subject. It was essential that I learn to condense my ideas and feeling into coherent written word. After much debate, I decided that the best way to improve my writing skills was to take an advanced English course.

During the four years I spent in high school, it was real hard for me to write an essay or just a simple paragraph. And it was all, because I couldn’t express what I thought or I just couldn’t write something down. Yet, when the teachers would tell me to write something down, I was always the last one to finish. Why? because I couldn’t think of anything to write. Or sometimes it was the timing that the teachers would give us to write that distracted me a lot from doing what I had to do. And since English is my second language is hard for me to write and think in English. And right now I still have that problem and it's real hard for me to write something down when a teacher ask me too. Also, another problem that I have is that sometimes

I’m a practiced freelance writer and editor, with experience working for numerous clients and sites. I have authored numerous blog posts, research papers, critiques, psychology and psychiatry, technical scientific articles, product descriptions, press releases, health articles and more.

As I moved into middle school my hatred for reading remained the same. As my poor attitude about reading got worse my writing also became harder to complete. The essays with word counts started to become hard to reach, and began to seem almost impossible at times. The long nights of staring at a seemingly blank piece of paper that was supposed to contain an essay got tiring and repetitive. I dreaded going to English class and nothing made it worse than when my teachers

During my past writing experience, I have struggled with formulating and initiating interesting points of discussion, grammar, and transitions. I have often sat down to work on a paper and found myself completely drawing a blank on anything interesting to write about. Whether I am given a specific prompt or general topic to discuss, I constantly struggle with finding a starting point. Once I do, I become too focused on trying to create a poetic sounding paper, rather than focusing on the main discussion points. In some ways, focusing on making my papers poetic have added detail and depth to my writing. However, this frequently distracts me from my papers main theme. One of my biggest drawbacks with writing has always been proper grammar usage.

My first college writing experience consisted of several resumes and cover letters for the various work-study jobs that I applied to. Prior to that, I have constructed numerous essays where I primarily critiqued the literary works of many well-known authors. In junior year of high school, I critiqued the notable poetry of a unique author-- Wislawa Szymborska. The poetry Szymborska wrote was very intricate and rich in subliminal messages. Her poetry usually disregarded the use of rhyme, and instead focused on the sophisticated use of metaphors and allusions. In addition, I continued to evaluate other notable literary works in my senior year of high school. My English teacher instructed me to analyze the poetry of John Donne-- who focused on constructing short poems which reflected complex messages through the use of extended metaphors. I

Every day people use writing to express certain ideas and thoughts we may have and by doing so it shapes the lives people lead by so much. The constant use of writing has allowed people to share and have unique experiences that have shaped who they are as writers. My own personal experiences with reading and writing have allowed me to improve my writing style. The mistakes I have made have only made me a better writer because I was able to learn about the mistakes I had made and make sure that they never happen again. The stories I am about to tell you may also help you improve on your writing style and become a better writer.

Writing is not everyone's cup of tea, but it is a past time that I have learned to love over the recent years. Whether it be writing for school, or just writing for fun, it is an activity that helps me to express many of my feelings.

As a young student, when my teachers first introduced reading and writing me, I used to doubt myself and think of how much of a waste of time it is. I felt stupid in comparison to my peers and also felt insecure that I was unable to be as qualified as them. As soon as I got assigned a book to read in elementary school or even middle school, the first thing I would do is either be looking up the chapter summaries on Spark Notes or to not do anything. I would receive poor grades in my english courses, thinking how is was all a waste of time and I wouldn't benefit anything from learning or even paying the smallest bit of attention. It was not until my freshman year of high school that I was able to find my interest in the various topics in which reading and writing had to offer me.

Writing is not an easy and flat road with wrinkles on the top that a person can just sit down and make a perfect professional essay after two or three hours writing or typing. It is a tough long process which needs a lot of skills, decisions and experiences, so do the time and good care for any steps from the brainstorming to editing and revision. I would say that reading and understanding combined together to make the art of writing. Being an amateur student who was so stressful about writing an essay, I used to make so many bad choices when having an articles to write. However, taking the Freshman Composition I has developed my writing skill effectively and provided the essential information which were definitely needed to enter my other courses. I believed that no writer is born excellent, even the writer who is gifted or talented has strengths and weaknesses, and I, myself, also cannot be out of that natural hook. Furthermore, recognizing what are my positive and negative qualities would help me in raising my level and do better on the next time.
