I walked down the hallway with apprehension flowing down my throat. I went to my classroom and sat down with my friends. My classroom teacher also my…
“The Power of My Writing” The power of writing is strong. I remember as a kid I would say “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words would never hurt me” and try to convince myself to ignore people that talk behind my back.

Persuasive writing can be difficult for students based off a student’s personality. If a student is a people pleaser, non-confrontational, or timid they may have a hard time writing an essay that’s sole purpose is to change someone else’s mind. A student who is a people please will always want to do what the other person wants. A persuasive essay is asking the student to do the exact opposite of what they wish. I am not saying it is always good for a student to be a people pleaser but I am…

Before I became a college student, I was terrified about taking English courses. The techniques for writing a thesis or an essay was something I felt I had never mastered. Above and beyond being terrified of English, I had another dilemma, I hadn’t been in a school setting for the 30 years prior to pursuing my college degree. During the years after my graduation from high school, I spent endless hours reading books. I prefer reading a book over watching a movie. My love for reading helped me to…
would go for me. I was not confident in my writing and I didn’t think my writing would meet the standards of my professor, Dr. Kearns. In the past, my writing pieces never rewarded me with an A grade and I was often surprised when I received a B.

I feel like I am writing at a college level now and I 'm…
