My Writing Experience

As my eleventh grade English teacher, Mr. Tuminaro once said, “Writing isn’t just something you do; rather, it’s a way of expressing ideas and emotions.” This statement has stuck with me ever since I graduated from high school. It has especially encouraged me to be more confident in what I write. My teacher made reading and writing enjoyable. I got to express more of myself through writing in his class. Before, I would think that adding any personal stories or experiences would make my writing flimsy. However, my teacher encouraged me to write some personal stories and experiences, because this makes writing much more interesting.
Reading and writing were my least favorite things to do, whether it was for my enjoyment or as homework. I never fully read a book before eleventh grade. I knew that one …show more content…

I remember going to Mr. Tuminaro’s class and thinking “here we go again to a boring English class” as we all took our seats. But, as soon as he stepped in the class I had a feeling that he was the type of teacher that took his work seriously and would definitely have an impact on me. I remember him saying that we were going to have to read two or three books for the class and we would have to write a paper on each of the books we read. I was already trying to mentally prepare myself to read more boring assigned books, but before I could do such a thing he said that we had the freedom of choosing any books from his cabinet. I know what you’re thinking, that choosing a book from his cabinet is not the same as having the freedom to choose a book of your own choice. But just imagine if students were given the freedom to choose a book of their own choice, then most people would just pick an easy book. Mr. Tuminaro wanted us to challenge ourselves, as that is the only way to get better at reading and writing. I still remember taking my first book of the year home. It was named The Kite Runner and soon became the first book in my reading history that I actually wanted

Who I Am as a Writer?

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.

Discovering Self-Expression and Growth through Writing

Writing is something that comes to some as a talented ability, yet others as an inconvenient burden. It’s just one of those things where “you either have it, or you don’t.” Within composing, one can express their feelings and emotions through mind blowing subtle details. The reader can grasp the elements within a story, to where it practically feels as if they are living it themselves. Writing can be an unwinding strategy for some, a method of communicating feelings for others, or just essentially enjoyable.

Although reading had always come naturally to me (I scored an 800 on the reading portion of the SAT), I used to inform others that I would rather have someone else do the writing for me, as I was happy simply reading. Unfortunately, that cute line did little to alleviate my writing assignments in school, and so I accepted the necessity of writing, without falling in love with it. During my junior year, I began to truly understand that while reading was my passion, writing was a skill, one that would become even more important to me as I grew. The importance of writing, to me, can be summed in a single word: communication. Writing, in its most basic form, is the distillation of ideas into a format whereby others can come to understand those ideas. Personally, my life “plan” is to become a wife, a mother, and an English teacher. In each of these facets, communication is vital, integral to the role. Although I don’t anticipate writing five-paragraph essays to my children every day, the skill of effective communication taught through writing can only improve my own ability to share my ideas.

“I believe that I’m at least competent as a writer as I can usually fluidly express ideas, but those technical skills will be even further crucial once I enter college and the adult world. The sooner I can learn these skills to better my writing, the better prepared I’ll be for any writing situation I find myself in the future.” When I entered the class of Front Range Composition on January 10th, I was armed only with my expectations of what I hoped to learn and the basic writing knowledge I had gained from other classes. Writing had never been my strong suit in my academic years, but I was capable enough to work my way through and still pull off an A in the class. Not this class.

For as long as I can remember, I have had interesting situations with reading and write. Like everyone, it started with one word like mom or dad. While trying to learn, letter and number, some television shows would be the perfect way to learn. Just as my parents currently encourage me to take on any challenging opportunity, they also always took the opportunity to challenge me in my childhood as an attempt to broaden my skills and knowledge. Because my mom was from Ecuador, her entire side of the family spoke Spanish to each other.

Writing is something that is intoxicating to me. When I write, my current problems disappear, and all of my focus turns to the stories my brain is itching to let free. At times writing becomes a coping mechanism for when it is a necessity to divert my attention away from my own mental anguish. From a young age reality is something that I have tried my best to avoid, due to the fact that I have had to live with a Generalized Anxiety Disorder. As a child the real world seemed entirely too frightening for me, so all of my attention turned towards fantasy.

English has always been my most feared subject. The reason for that is because reading and writing have never been my strongest skills. They are the only vulnerable areas in my years of receiving education. My inability to read and write well has caused me so much frustration as I never feel that any of my work is good enough to hand in. I had no idea why it took me so much time to read a chapter of a book when other students were already done or why I could not even sit down and write a simple paper when others were done doing their essays in a span of a couple hours.

I’ve had a lot of things in my life that I’ve taken for granted; we all have. I never considered the fact that my ability to read and write would be one of those things. I’ve always considered reading and writing a basic human task that everyone in this day and time knew how to do. While I grew up in a relatively poor community, the majority of people my age had common knowledge of reading, writing, and other elementary level skills. At least, that was what I thought.

Reading is to writing as breathing is to living. When you read, you interpret life. When you write, you provide your perspective. I work with multi-level educators daily and the common denominator is the fact that they need for their students to read. Read math, science, social studies and even music.

I have never considering writing to be one of my strong suites when it came it academics, perhaps adequate at best. Especially when it came to writing on a subject based on information or statistics, however after the last few essays, not only do I have a new found confidence in my writing skills, but I’m incredibly excited to write about new and more challenging subjects. The last three essays walked me through the writing process slowly but surely, challenging me a little more each time. As I approached the next assignment I took what I had learned from the previous one and made sure to apply it to the assignment I was currently working on.

I have been highly involved in language arts, reading and writing, ever since I was young. It has played an important part in my life as I’ve always been an avid reader. Books were my portal to the bigger world, a world full of imagination and different peoples and places. I transitioned from being a reader to a writer, and a big part of my growth as a writer has come from an organization called Writers & Books located in New York State, a group that aims to help young writers bloom through different classes that approach writing and words creatively. The people there have greatly encouraged me as a newbie artist writer with their enthusiasm for both writing and teaching.

Every child grows up in school learning the basics such as the alphabet and reading simple books like Dick and Jane. As children grow older, they either come to love or hate reading as a hobby. There is really no in between. I was fortunate enough to have parents who encouraged me to read and write outside of the classroom which cultivated into a love for reading and later in my life writing. My early reading and writing experiences have helped shape me as the person I am today.
