Though writing can be fun and creative, it is not really my best skill. Writing can be very challenging for me but also some time where I can write out my deepest thoughts. Through the years of writing, being given multiple assignments from classes can make it seem boring or challenging. Having to go by a certain format to focus on or even limiting all to one subject. Honestly, it wouldn’t really bother me that much since I would quickly go through the assignment. Yet as a writer, I haven’t really went through the time and effort to take the time to grow from it, even if it is for an assignment. Sure I write my own thoughts out for personal things or just to let it out some stress and for fun as well. But I would always keep them to myself, and I am not confident in my ability to write very well …show more content…
In the past, it was always considered a challenge. I would have a hard time understanding both english and spanish at the same time. But having to go to a school where english is the main language, I still had to start from zero. I would be too nervous to try to write because of how awful I would be. Having to go through this makes me lose my confidence. I would be the type of person to think writing is a hassle. I would always think that this isn’t everything really, that it is not as important compared to other classes. Making any sort of writing makes me feel more negative than it should. I would always think that my writing would be a mess compared to other people. Although having to think that way in a pessimistic point of view, now in the present I have been making the effort to try to grow. I find writing more fun and creative, mainly for myself rather than school assignments. When it comes to writing my own thing or personal thought or idea, I really like to have the creativity to go deeper with that idea. I still like to keep things to myself, especially when it comes to my writing. Because what I write is what I think and it’s preferable to
I have always considered writing to be a work in progress, and it constantly can be improved. I have always been devoted to writing. I loved to write stories as a child because I could use my creativity and create any type of character I desired. But I have struggled with writing as well. English has never been my forte. I have received A’s, B’s, C’s, and D’s on essays. I truly never found my voice in writing. In my high school, English teachers would give me mixed reviews on my writing. For example, in 9th grade my English teacher said I was organized with my thoughts, and my writing process was excellent. While in 10th,11th grade ,12th grade my teachers only said negative things about my essays. Not being a strong writer made me despise writing. Then I started to believe that writing is not important. I came to conclusion that writing is not important ,because I am going to be a Math major. I had the mindset that I am not a writer, and will never be a writer. But, my thoughts about writing changed when I started taking English at CSUN.
Writing is a way in which a person can express their thoughts and ideas through the use of words. Everybody has their own writing styles. Some may consider theirs as inspirational while others think of it to be bad. Writing requires a lot of patience and time. In my case, writing has never been my favorite thing to do. I am no Shakespeare and I never will be, writing has always made me feel uncomfortable. In the past, I had always considered writing to be one of the most difficult tasks. I often wrote about topics that were not of my interest. I rarely did any writing out of school or for leisure as most people do. I only wrote because the teacher asked us to. Writing has always been forced onto me. Even though my writing isn't that great, I've felt that I've never been given the freedom to express my voice. Academic writing has always made me anxious. And, anxiety had resulted in my procrastination. Even though I consider writing to be one of the toughest tasks, I've felt that giving myself enough time to think allows me to do better. Silence helps me think beyond horizons. However, the fear of impressing someone, the anxiety and frustration is what makes me a developing writer.
Writing isn’t for everyone I know it’s not for me. Writing can be hard and challenging, but also fun if you make writing to be. I haven’t ever found writing to be fun, but I do not hate writing as much as I used to. Since I have started writing more and learn how to write better it has become a little more tolerable. I don’t want to write a lot when I am done with school, but when I have to I now have the skills to write well.
“Be not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them” William Shakespeare wrote this quote in his play Twelfth Night, and it is an accurate description of how I feel about writing. Some people are born being great writers; some work hard to achieve their goal of becoming a great writer; others have great writers as mentors who help them become great writers themselves. I fall under the last category. Writing did not come easy for me, but through the help of my English teacher in high school, writing become not only easier for me but also a hobby that I enjoyed.
The first and main reason why I don’t recognize myself as a writer is because writing is difficult for me. All the time I want to write about something I have trouble to concentrate on it. By concentrat...
Sherman Alexie once said “I’m a good writer who may be a great writer one day.” This quote is an excellent explanation about how I feel toward my own writing. Reading and writing has always been a part of school that I have enjoyed since I first learned how to. Usually, I enjoy reading to a further extent than writing; in spite of this, only under certain circumstances, do I enjoy reading. If a teacher were to assign a book to read for a class, I would find it difficult to read and appreciate, because I did not find or choose the book myself. Writing, on the other hand, has never been a favorite of mine; although, I would consider myself to be a fairly strong writer. I would easily choose reading over writing.
I write stories about my life: characters I come across, situations I encounter, lessons I learn. Writing brings my life into focus. Once it’s on the page, I begin to understand the throughlines of my experience. Every artist has a way of describing how the muse comes to them. For me, words live in an invisible river.
Growing up, I detested writing. I found it to be tedious and boring. But reading, I loved. I would read a book a day, a series in a week. My best friend and I had our own “book club”.
Writing was not one of my most favorite things to do when I was was younger, but I did enjoy reading. I actually did enjoy writing when I was was younger, but I was not good at it. Two people have impacted and shaped my attitude towards writing in both a positive and negative way, and I enjoyed reading at a young age because it helped me escape from the real world. In my junior year of high school I took AP English with my teacher Mrs. White.
The only writings I do these days, outside of school, are memos and proposals for my occupation. I work in an office for an interior design center. These memos and proposals are not personal and are not very thought provoking. Therefore, do not serve many purposes in helping me to become a better
When I have an assignment due I try my best to finish it, but when I have a writing assignments it makes me feel bored and sometimes it stresses me out. Just the fact of seeing long paragraphs and letters make me feel depressed and bored. The only time I enjoy seeing long paragraphs is when I get a message from my friends and that doesn’t happen too often. It takes me less than 30 seconds to read it and I reply really fast.
I’ll call this “Crawl Back In” Tracing back of my writing experience, I have once been a precocious writer. I loved writing. It was my favourite passtime in primary school. Writing assignment and exam never troubled me.
Having gone through my primary level and the secondary level, it gave me the opportunity and privilege of getting to like the manner at which the writers were using different types of writing techniques to make their stories interesting. It gave me that burning desire to be among the top writers in the universe when my time comes. Throughout this essay, I am going to give some of the reasons as to why I decided to enroll in the course and the advantages of writing towards my academic skills and professional life. We are a family of six made of four boys and two girls.
I often describe myself as an animal lover, very outspoken, but shy at the same time. I have never described myself as a writer the reason being I’ve never been good at expressing myself on paper. At first, when I am about began to write I think to myself this is it, this will be the greatest essay I’ve ever typed, this will be the greatest statement ever written. My mind quickly changes when I start to realize that I have nothing to put down on paper.
Writing has always been one of the things that I’m passionate about. Whenever I have something on my mind, I would jot it down or type it in my notes. No matter how small or pathetic it seems, I would always write it down, because you never know when you’re going to go back to it and create something grand, out of inspiration. People would think that a person like me would write down poems or novel ideas. That’s completely true, but I also write down recipes, grocery lists, hate lists and literally anything that comes to my mind. I’m the type of person that does not like to miss anything, forget anything and likes to include everything. People would say I’m a perfectionist or a control freak and as much as I would hate to admit that, it is true. While these traits of mine might hinder my writing process, during this school year I learned how to embrace them.
