Personal Narrative: My Writing Procedures

689 Words2 Pages

So far this year, I felt pretty satisfied with my progress this semester. I feel like I am slowly adapting to the new way papers and assignments are handled. All my college work depends solely on me now. No one is going to baby me anymore and whether I succeed or fail depends on how much effort I put into something. For the first time in my life I wrote a paper. Not just a five paragraph essay but actual pages, which is extremely challenging. It’s also been my first time studying for five hours straight so I can pass an actual test. I didn’t know I possessed this level of dedication, it’s probably because it isn’t free. Back in high school I would learn the material in class and wing it the next day. The amount of reading material is very

  • Personal Narrative: My Writing

    Like reading, in the beginning, I saw writing as a chore, something you only must do when you needed to do homework or at school. It was something your teacher made you do in the beginnings of class to “open your mind.” I hated the idea of writing about how my Christmas was or what I did over the weekend. It was all too tedious and boring, because it was never about what I wanted to write about, fiction.

Ultimately it wasn’t until I started reading not because I had to read but because I wanted to, that's when my relationship reached change. I would have probably never cared about writing as I do today if it weren't for the critics in my family. When I was a child, my aunts and uncles always been in competition with who's child is better in school. I have always hated reading and writing because of the pressure to prove my family wrong was overwhelming for me.

    A narrative is a story. In writing a narrative essay, you share with the reader some personal experience of your own in order to make a point or convey a message. You may choose to tell how your grandfather influenced your desire to become an orthodontist, or perhaps you’ll relate the story of the time you didn’t make the cut for the basketball team. Whatever story you tell, your purpose is to share with others some experience that has taught you something or changed you somehow.

  • Personal Narrative: My Writing Process

    238 Words  | 1 Pages

    Writing is a process that is distinct, and unique to each person, and over one’s academic career there is this adoption of one’s own unique writing process. My writing process begins with me getting into a creative mindset, one in which I’m able to stimulate thought and emotion from on the given topic. I then go onto to create a graphic organizer of all the ideas that I generate and wish to use in my piece. After I have developed a list of workable ideas, I begin to write my first draft. During this step, I put all the ideas I had generated in point form into paragraph form. After I have written a rough draft of the assigned piece of writing, I gave it to either a peer, or family member to read through; so I can get an external perspective

  • Personal Narrative: My Writing Goals

    I am Kazuki Nakanishi and I have two goals in this level. my first writing goal in this level is using an adjective and an adverb as much as I can in my writing paper. I learned how to write the nice essay from level 5, so I would like to focus on of constructing a sentence. I feel that I tend to use easy noun and verb in everyday conversation compared with the native speaker, and I need to add more information to explain something clearly using adjective and adverb. It is obvious that writing skill directly connects to speaking skill, so this goal can be my biggest goal in level 10.

  • Personal Narrative: Improving Writing Skills

    546 Words  | 2 Pages

    I have always been very fond of reading, but never writing. At a young age both of my parent were teachers, so education was always first for them. I always read everyday and it improved my speaking skills,but I have never been a fan of writing. My parents tried to teach me to write and even hired tutors, but it was just one of those things that went in one ear and out the other. As a child i remember being forced to go to tutoring, to improve my writing skill. The biggest reason why I'm not a fan of writing is because; I feel like my thoughts are being read. Reading has helped me over time to increase my literacy rate. I recall first coming to the U.S. knowing just a little bit of English, but within a year I was fluent, even though had to take two years of ESL. Reading has always been my gate to the outside world.

  • Personal Narrative: My Role As A Writer

    904 Words  | 2 Pages

    In my time as a reader/writer I’ve developed a broad knowledge of literacy. What made me, the reader/wrtier that I am today goes back to the second grade. In the second grade we did A.R. reading, we set goals every week and read books that were only at our reading level. Then we went to the library to type words. Throughout most of the second grade I didn’t really try with reading or writing, but it really started in the third grade when my teacher made me read and write everyday. She made me reach a goal every day, and eventually it got to a point where I was one of the best readers and a good writer. I had to summarize each story we read in class and then write my opinion on the story and what I learned from reading it.

  • Personal Narrative: My Style Of Writing

    490 Words  | 1 Pages

    Everyone has their own unique style of writing, but it’s all based on what they have learned through their educational experiences. Some styles of writing are simple, some more complex. When I start to write a rough draft , first I start by reading over the topic and think up a basic outline in my head of what I’m going to write and how I’m going to go about writing it. Starting an essay is always a struggle for me because I’m not much of a writer and I just don’t want to do it, so starting is the hard part. After I got my thoughts together I start of by titling the essay and then for my first draft I pretty much bull shit everything and start typing whatever comes to my mind. In the first paragraph I make sure to state what I’m trying to prove or my argument, but u will also notice I ramble a lot because I type how I talk and I talk a lot. But when I’m writing I get distracted a lot, by just little things like social media, or just people trying to talk to me.

  • Personal Narrative: My Professional Writing Experience

    553 Words  | 2 Pages

    In a professional environment, there are many supervisors who have little to no writing experience before they start a management position. This largely attributed to employees of companies maintaining a high work ethic for many years and proving they have what it takes to take over these leading roles (Mabrito, 1997). When these employees started their jobs they likely did not have the expectation that they would move to such an important role in the company so furthering their education after high school was not a priority. This can cause a poor representation of the company from the less than professional writing skills a person may have. For these businesses, it would be beneficial to actively seek out employees who they see potential in and send them to further their writing
