I wouldn’t really say I hate writing. Dislike writing, not comfortable with writing, struggle
with writing, these are terms that I feel are more relatable to myself. It’s just not something that
comes natural to me. Whenever I have to write something of a considerable length I cringe and
think back to all the grueling assignments I’ve completed in the past. I “hate” writing because of
how unnatural it is to me.
Writing and I have never had a good relationship. There’s nothing I enjoy about it. I have
trouble translating my thoughts to paper. Even right now, I have plenty of reasons in my head
about why writing sucks, but as soon as I go to write it down it becomes jumbled. Imagine you’re

Presentation day came around, Mrs. Zoake randomly selected five kids
per day to present their speech. My friend and I sat in the back of the class just praying we
would not get picked to present that day. We called it “dodging a bullet” every time a name was
called other than ours. I guess we kind of related performing a speech to getting hit by a bullet.
That’s a little extreme, but how could one enjoy the preparation for an assignment in which they
hate? Those previous negative experiences with public speaking are tied into my current hate of
writing.
Next were the prolonged book reports, journal entries and resumes with never ending
revisions. I don’t even want to discuss reading, just another task that requires a person to sit
and essentially do nothing for extended periods of time. Clearly not something I’d particularly
take pleasure in. After struggling through the book, I’d then have to write a report. That’s double
the pain in the ass! Its quite odd actually, because I distinctively remember loving the first book I
ever read. My seventh grade teacher Miss Bedic gave us a book report assignment. We had the
privilege of being able to choose the book we wanted to read. So of course I chose to feast my
Patus
Before I get into all the specifics I’m going to give you a summary of the book I picked
I spent a minimum of half an hour in full pondering about having to choose a book. Not only a book, but the right book. I wanted to take this project as an opportunity to learn something new by reading literature I would enjoy. I did not want
what I truly want to write about. I probably could’ve come up with a way to write the paper that I
No one could ever comprehend the hatred I had for reading- no one. Reading to me was just like being deathly ill, stuck inside, watching the neighbors play and know you couldn't join. On Monday morning I sat down in my teacher Mrs. Daniels class. I had a strange feeling reading would be an assignment coming up soon. I was dreading what I knew she was going to say next. “Class you will have 4 weeks to complete this book.” As I heard these words come out of her mouth I lowered myself into my seat like a turtle slowly going into its shell. I felt as if I was drowning and no one could save me until my life was over. Not only did I hate reading but I hated it even more when I was forced to. I thought in my head, “Why. Why make us read a dumb book that will do nothing but take away my social life.” Never did I know the book I was about to read would have such an impact
Throughout Gerald Graff’s own personal struggle with reading books, he learned that reading critically while also engaging in critical and intellectual discussion could open a whole new world of personal connections he was never able to make before.
I would like to say that I sit down at my desk overlooking the neighborhood, three weeks before the due date, with a freshly brewed cup of green tea, after just having woken up not to an alarm, but to my body’s own internal clock. I would like to say all of this was true. Unfortunately, my life is not that glamours. Even as I write this it is the night before the due date and we’re just about to hit 8:30 pm. I hold a strict 9 pm bed time. The truth is, the stress of the night before excites me. Whenever I receive an assignment, I have every intention to get a head start. In my near fifteen years of education, this has never once actually happened. Creatures of habit, we are. So this is where it all begins. The night, sometimes the day, before a due date with knots in my stomach and without a thought in my
Writing can be a very difficult process for those who do not know how to go about constructing
I stared at the blinking cursor, unbelieving at what I had just done. I was indeed done; done with a paper I agonized over for 6 hours. The paper was due in a scant 4 hours and I had all week to do it. The radio had stopped working because my brother got on the Internet and thus cut off my connection. That was the least of my problems working on this paper. I got it done, though. My life changed with one trip of a teacher to the chalkboard and one phrase, narrative essay. God, I hate narrative essays.
When it comes writing words can not explain how i feel,but i will try to explain my hatred. First off writing for me is a outlet some people may think this is good thing. Well no they're wrong in my opinion. If a teacher gives a writing assignment about why cell phones are not allowed in school i will start by writing about cell phones and then trail off into why I hate the principle for banning cell phones in the first place. What I think makes a good paper or book is when the author takes life there life experiences and talk about it, but I take this to another level and ramble on and on . Life experiences are good to put in a paper but, facts are better. Another reason why i hate writing is someone always seem to have something to say about
A: Once upon a time, I had to read some announcements for my school. This was my worst public speaking. I was afraid. It was my first time reading the school announcements on the PA system. I made so many mistakes my teachers thought I was illiterate. I read some of the words wrong. I learn to alway read through whatever your reading in front of people.
thing about me is that I hate writing anything with a pen and a paper. Most of the time
I would say that most people would not enjoy writing as much as I do, but I think that it is because they find writing requires a great deal of effort. In my past experiences, it would take me a significant amount of time to figure out what I want to write about in the beginning. I would always have trouble picking a topic because I was too picky or I did
According to a 2001 Gallup poll, “more than 40% of Americans fear public speaking than death”, I was shocked to learn this statistics that I was not the only one. As I was pondering about what to write on my essay for my favorite school, I thought about my own childhood experience.
Currently there are many students tried to go to college and finish their degree. But some students don’t know what they should do in college and how to avoid the failure in classes. The failure will happen if you have no real goal or plan to finish it.
