first semester of my sophomore year has been an extremely important one. My classes became more advanced, and I was finally able to take challenging college course. Although I had more homework, I also became more organized which gave me a better approach to deal with the assignments. One thing I enjoyed was all the independence that was involved; while freshman have relatively simple classes with teachers to guide the students along, sophomore year so far has involved doing my own research and work…

have learned more about my writing and my strengths than in the last three years. The biggest thing I realized was that in each paper I had many writing habits. I also learned that some of my writing aspects are good while others need to be fixed. In all of my shitty first drafts, I could see all the things I was doing wrong without even noticing. In my college application essay, I first saw that my writing was weak and there were many things I needed to correct, such as my wordiness and punctuation…

really hurt my feelings as well as my writing. I never took literature seriously. I only saw it as something that was required. I was always expected by other to do well language class and after a while, it was expected by myself as well. Since then, I've continued to try my best in all my classes, especially language arts classes. I passed Ms.Lee’s English class with a ninety-eight.

My personal writing process was to start with what information I know about the topic. I write this down and from there I begin my research and start to build an argument. I add this to my notes and next I make an outline that will begin to make a path for my writing. I start writing my introduction first to guide my writing and then build paragraphs off my outline bullets. Next I add, rearrange, remove, and replace information, so that it makes sense. I edit the grammar, spelling, clarity, and punctuation…

My writing style is different to say the least. Obviously everyone has their own learning style, but mine is definitely unique. For as long as I can remember, writing has been an important part of my life. Whenever I was having a bad day or just needed something to do, I would write. I genuinely enjoy writing, so it’s never really anything I have to force myself to do. I write almost every day, whether it’s writing a song, poem, short story, or just journaling about my daily life. The one step in…

Personally, I think that there is no single method to producing a paper, rather a writer can use multiple ways to arrive at a final product. My writing process has changed over the course of this semester in which I use four main steps that starts with pre-writing, writing, revising/editing…

My journey with writing began as soon as I could write. When I was eight years old, I told my grandmother that I was a word-weaver and story-telling was my passion. I was notorious for taking my work to my Language Arts and English teachers and pleading with them to read and review my work. During high school, I was enrolled in Post-Secondary Enrollment Options (PSEO) and I elected to take a creative writing class. At seventeen years old, I was the youngest student in the class, but I believe my…

Imagine writing a five page paper the night before it’s due. This describes my life throughout AP Senior English during high school. It would have been more beneficial if I would have received grades that were not satisfactory. That way, I would have learned my lesson and not waited until the last minute for every assignment. This is not what happened; I kept doing well and I, therefore, kept finding myself caught in the viscous cycle that is procrastination. This was not the best process for my general…

Writing always varies with me, sometimes I am suffused with ideas and then other times I can’t even come up with a topic. Louis L’Amour once said, “Start writing, no matter what. The water does not flow until the faucet is turned on.” I believe this short quote explains my style of writing. My struggle with writing started when I was younger. I never had the capability to put my ideas onto paper, this was mostly because I struggled with grammar and sentence structure. I hated falling behind, I would…
