My Writing Experience With Writing

A person can read and write a great deal in one day whether they realize it or not. Whether it be texting a friend or reading a textbook for a certain class, you are reading and writing constantly and a daily basis. What surprised me the most about the reading and writing that I did on Sunday was how much I am reading and writing on my phone. Whether I am texting to coordinate plans with a friend for the night or reading a random article I saw while reading a Facebook news feed, I am constantly reading and writing on my phone. I never considered it reading and writing when I used my phone, I just saw it as looking at my phone. Just staring at this four-inch screen for some sort of entertainment. What also surprised me was how much we read without noticing it. You can walk down State Street and you will be constantly reading by looking at stores, posters, or even words on a bus that is passing by. Our eyes and brains are looking at and reading words all the time.

While writing might seem like a simple task, it can be a daunting task for a lot of people. Sometimes it can be hard to express the ideas in your mind in the words of a paper. This results in a disconnect with what a writer may actually think. A great writer is one that can transform his thoughts into words perfectly. This is a craft that takes many years to perfect, which is why writing is troublesome for a lot of us. Many students also have had bad experiences with writing. Maybe they had a teacher that didn’t try to support them and their writing. They might not have ever gotten the help they needed and may feel that they are in a hole where their writing can’t get better. At this point, they just accept that their writing will never get better.

Lacking experience in writing and reading, English is my most feared subject. It is the one and only vulnerable spot in my in my mind. I hate writing and I hated reading, other than sports pages in the newspaper or sports books. My earliest time that I started reading and writing was extremely abhorrent for me. Sometimes, you could even say that some of these experiences bothered me. It was quite hard because I wasn’t able to focus on what I need to do. I was even struggling to write my own name. The young mind that I had, it was so easy to get distracted on what I need to learn and also accomplish, especially for the future ahead of me.

Growing up I always knew I loved to read. There was a time when I thought reading was just for school not for anything else. When I started to get into sports I started to enjoy reading sports magazines online articles, and that made me enjoy reading about my favorite athletics their stories and how they became what they are and how they did it. Soon enough I saw myself finishing the whole article or the magazine. Part of that made enjoy reading more, and that made like to read other than sports so I started to read about history because I always was fascinated with what happened in the past, but I just never put the time to read about it. Which made me challenge myself to see if I can read a book or an article or something that I wanted to check it out and read about

Writing has continuously served as a getaway in my life. It has kept me from bottling up my thoughts and emotions and has allowed me to express all of these things on paper. Communicating through speaking has always been a weakness of mine. It is for this reason that I often turn to writing to convey my feelings. Though have such an immense passion for free-writing, I have found myself struggling when comes to writing academic papers. Generally, I enjoy writing when it is something that I am interested in. In Composition I and II, I often have had the opportunity to choose the topic that I write my paper on. I am confident that this has been a major turning point for me within my academic essays. Ultimately, Composition I and II have taught

I walk into my bright, and decorative bedroom after a long, and tiring day of school. Turning on the lights, I steer towards my dresser set to retrieve my previously sharpened pencil and partially filled notebook. I find myself sitting on my fuschia papasan chair. With my notebook in my hand, I slowly open it to reveal a fresh clean sheet of paper. With peace and inspiration filling my mind, body, and soul, I begin to fill its pages with tried attempts of poetry and eventful situations of my day. A smile forms onto my lips as I stare at it. Writing about myself and experiences was all I knew.

Living your life without making a difference in anything, isn’t really a life lived. In order to make positive contributions in the world and to feel that our life is valuable, we all need to decide on a direction. When we are in primary school, we are asked about what we want to be, when we grow up. Some kids answer that they want to be a firefighter, scientists, doctor, or an engineer but as we grow up, our interests start to change and they don’t stop changing. When I was young, I wanted to be a firefighter, because for me, putting out fires was an exciting thing to do.

Before I started this class, my writing ability was very execrable. I have passion in writing stories, and writing about myself. I just didn 't have any good experience in a well written paper. I was used to writing in an informal way instead of formal. I never knew how to start off the beginning paragraphs. I just thought about a topic, and wrote without any process or organization. I would continue to write without grabbing the reader 's attention. Under no circumstances, did I know how to end it because my topics were too broad.

Growing up in a small reservation in Northern Arizona, I had a hard time writing. I had a few teachers that helped me write, but I never really understood why I was writing in such a funny way. Why do I have to sound different when writing? I never liked how my younger cousins would write better than me. I did my best to write better than I already was. I tried to take a typing class that I thought would help improve my writing. Freshman year was the year I struggled with writing the most. My teacher had tried to help me while I worked on different essays or assignments, but I didn’t care what she told me. Well, I did care, it was just hard to learn and pay attention because I never understood it well enough to be engaged. I never got the way of writing, I never understood it. The teacher helped me the best she could, but I was never happy with my writing. Writing papers were definitely not my thing. It wasn’t until I went to school at ITT-Tech. I went there to become a Network Engineer and get my associates degree with my high school diploma. I was scared for this transition because I was going to college! I was going to be with teenagers my age and they are tech savvy, so I was intimidated. The first day of school came and I was scared for my life! It wasn't until I met my writing teacher. She was so nice and we got along so fast because we had a lot in common. A few days later, we started to write essays for our classes. I was scared because it was a different format and

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.

My writing experiences are nothing special. I come from a small southern town in the middle of Alabama where everyone talks a bit differently than the world around us. As a small child, I never really got the hang of English, writing and all the rules that come with it. Growing up, I realized that my sister got all of the love for English and I got the math skills. I was never good at English on any level. At first, I never worried about school either. With that being said, I was a good student. I just did not challenge myself to be a great student. That was until I was in the fourth grade. My thoughts on education and its importance changed at that moment. I saw all my friends attending a party called the “All A’s Tea”. This might sound stupid now, but at the time that is all my mind stayed on. Making all A’s so I could attend this party like all of my friends. After receiving that first report card with all A’s , it gave me a sense of pride and happiness. I also saw how proud everyone was of me. That might sound kind of selfish, but that was the feeling at the time.

In my college career, I dread writing because I found out I was terrible at it in my first semester. I will never forget, in my first semester, I failed a midterm paper for a political class. That midterm was the longest paper I have ever written, about six pages. Not only did I have a failing score at the top of the first page, but I also had the first two pages covered in red ink pointing out multiple errors; it also did not help that, I also completely miss the prompt. I ended up dropping the class because one’s grade was termed only by a midterm and final paper. That class felt me discouraged about my ability to write. As I continued college, I would rather memorize formula for a math class, than write for any class any day. Although I could not escape writing in college. I had to take other courses that involve writing such as geology, anthropology for example. I always worked with what I had, I never dare pushing my abilities. what I mean by that is not pushing the envelope play it safe get the C and be done. In order to do so I would incorporate key concepts went over lecture or from the readings and added them into the paper and that is it. Although those classes never required a page longer than two or three I still felt overwhelmed when writing for them. It felt like it consumed me as the memory of a that professor handing me back my paper with a failing grade was what I played in my mind; when I heard about a writing assignment. Once I survived these classes with

While growing up, I was never really the most articulate writer in school. Most of my papers either had the discursive type of writing or was the most prolix essay that no one could understand. As a student, I was always given a rhetorical topic that was never appealing to me or my audience. As more writing assignments presented themselves, the more I thought of writing as distasteful. Kindergarten through Junior year of high school was very bland when it came to writing and reading projects. Never realizing the idea or approach as to how I should properly construct an essay was difficult for me. Until Senior year, I always wrote essays in a ponderous way.

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.

English is a core concept in the Untied States and other countries that has allowed inviduals to advance their knowledge. Not only does English provide an advancement in knowlege, but has created a way for individuals to share their thoughts and feelings through writing. Which is why English is one of the four subjects that is required to be taught in almost every school district in America including mine. I began taking English from a young age which allowed me to take advanced placement English IV my senior year at Tupelo High School. Advanced Placement English IV allowed me to further my education in writing, which in return allowed me to overcome obstacles, low points and discover strengths I never knew I had.
