Personal Narrative: My Writing Experience

Decent Essays
My writing experience: I didn’t start to read until I was in first grade. Every week we would go to library to check-out two books and take a test on the books we read on a computer. Every day in English we read a short story to ourselves then we would play games dealing with the story to make it fun. To be honest I never really did a lot of writing in Elementary , Middle, or High school so I can’t pinpoint when I started writing. In essay writing I learned its always good to express yourself with your own opinion. In writing your suppose to use descriptive details and to always have a point to why you are writing the story. My writing didn’t until I came to college; being in your class has been teaching me how to write. It’s bad a way that I just started writing because I have way …show more content…
I try to begin my essay in a good way so I can have a strong thesis statement. Making a strong thesis statement and a conclusion gives me some trouble. Once you make a thesis statement it’s usually easy to make a conclusion. The conclusion is basically your main point reworded. The most enjoyable part about writing is when you finish. It feels like you made a masterpiece. I always go to google to research a essay. I use google to look up information about a essay such as the comparison / contrast essay we did. I find it easier to write in the morning time after I eat breakfast. I wrote most of my papers in the library because it had a problem using microsoft word on my labtop but its fixed now. I don’t have a favorite writing but if I did have one it would be Stephen King I read a lot of books by him in Middle and High school. In conclusion, writing has been important to me while I’m in college and the rest of my life. Writing helps in so many ways to express your emotion or argument about how you feel about that topic. I’m glad all of Austin Peay students are required to take a writing

    During my first year at Spelman College, I have not necessarily acquired any new writing skills. However, I have definitely sharpened three imperative writing skills, including: forming my ideas, reasoning, and synthesis (based on readings and discussions) to develop the content of my essays, integrating sources and evidence that corroborate my beliefs, and making my writing more clear and concise. In addition, I still stand in the process of learning to write well under the pressure of time constraints. To illustrate my points, At Spelman, I have been required to read and discuss for every single class I have enrolled in.…

    Regardless, I do wish that I would have started outside of class earlier, so that I could have spent more time for editing and checking for details. Time management was something I noticed most for the second essay, the visual text analysis. Finding a interesting text was hard, and finding reliable secondary sources was even harder, even with the Columbus State Online Database. Although some researching took place outside of school, most of the actual essay writing took place in school during the work days. Even with the unexpected amount of research that I had, managing time was not a great concern for me.…

    I was more comfortable with creating an outline, but still unsure how to outline my introduction and conclusion. Moving from one paragraph to the next, I could have done better in smooth transitions and shifting my topic.

    My History As A Writer Throughout my lifetime I have come to love and absolutely hate writing. The reasoning of the assignment or topic has a lot to do with my affinity and disgust. Although learning new things, like writing, was something that I loved doing in elementary school, that all changed when it was daily implemented. As an art form I recently come to love writing down my thoughts, ideas, opinions and stories.…

    Writing, Chore or Adventure? Writing is something that we all face in school; as well as on the job, but why make it as painful as we do? If you are like me you will want to consider how much you enjoy that thrilling suspense novel or action adventure, these are all example of works that the writer had to first learn and perfect their craft before they could ever approach the publishers; yet we enjoy and thrive on every word they write. Even though we are simply working on learning to write an essay I am convinced that we need to learn to enjoy it, think of yourself as the next Stephen King or Earnest Hemmingway or whatever excellent writer you choose.…

    Writing an essay has always been somewhat of a puzzle to me. I have only written four or five essays that required real thought and never did particularly well on any of them. To me, writing has been like a stream of consciousness from my mind to the page, not something to edit and perfect. The weaknesses of my writing out way the strengths, at least in my view. I have always been more of a reader, but I have had little practice with writing.…

    In the sixth grade the way they were teaching us discouraged me to write. I would be bored and couldn’t have a saw so of how I wanted to write. So I just bit my tongue and carried on. In high school I had more freedom with my writing so was able to set up how I wanted to write and found starting backwards for me works best. We are all given a prompt and I would have a summary in my head for my essay and would write it out and that was my conclusion.…

    I have always had a rough time writing essays in my academic career. The hardest thing for me in writing is structuring essays and making them flow. It wasn’t in till the 9th grade that I had a teacher who showed me how to set up an essay so that it is easier to read. One of the simplest things I struggle with in my writing career was spelling. Starting in elementary I would memorize words for a spelling test instead of actually learning how to spell them.…

    My earliest memories of reading go all the way back to when my favorite book to have read to me was “If Pigs Could Fly”, I would have my parents read me this book all the time when I was a kid. I was read to a lot as a child which I think has made me into a better reader today, I always loved books when I was little and I collected every Dr. Seuss book and started learning to read them before I entered elementary school. I had almost every book and cherished my collection and continued to add to it for years after. I credit my ability to read so young to reading all of those books we had because I had an older sister who was able to read and I followed in her footsteps. I read before Kindergarten started, because I began reading at a high level as a five-year-old.…

    I can not really say that I have always liked writing. When I write, it is more of my mind talking on paper instead of my mouth talking. Some things sound better in my mind than they do when I read them out loud. I never did write much at home unless I had to do English homework, but when I did write I wrote pages. I gain this focus feeling that once I am into something I just can stop because once I do, I will just completely forget about it and be busy with another project.…

    Securing employment is a difficult task in the best of circumstances, but doing so in a foreign land where you don 't speak the language can be a nearly impossible task.

Furthermore, France is still suffering from the dire economic conditions brought out about my the recent financial crisis.
