The Wait: A Powerful Practice For Finding The Love Of Your Life

Decent Essays
Hi, I’m Keyondra. I’m a very family orientated person. I’ve been married to my husband, Carlos, for 2 years. We have a 9-month old baby boy, he name is, Kyle. I like to be with my family majority of the time, when I’m not with them, I’m probably at the beauty shop or the nail salon. I’m also in the Army National Guard, currently waiting for my contract to expire. The Army is not what I thought it would be, but it has been a great experience overall.

I love to write, but only when I’m writing something that catches my attention. When I was in high school we would gave writing assessments, every time I would score either a 4 or 5. The highest that you could get was a 6. My errors were always: improper use of commas or too many run-on sentences. Those are still the challenges I have with writing today.

    I believe that sometimes my mistakes in grammar stay on my papers because while I am revising and editing my paper I have trouble reading the actual words on the paper and instead read the things that my mind says it should read. For example, one of my greatest mistakes is forgetting to write some commas when the writing should have it. The problem is that in my mind I read it as if the comma is there while it is truly not, I believe that this problem extends in part out of the fact that I read a lot of books where the grammar is not the best and I always try to ignore it while I am reading. Additionally, I also need to work on eliminating my run on sentences from my writing.…

    Writing would never be called my passion; however, if the topic of interest is thought-provoking, writing can be pleasurable. I have always been exceedingly critical of my writing, and I have a bad habit of producing your standard “five paragraph with five sentences” essay. High school was the true test of my writing skills, mainly because I had to take the ACT and SAT with writing if I wanted to get into the only Georgia school that I thought was up to par with my standards: The University of Georgia. Even though my teachers have considered me to be an acceptable writer, I have always considered myself rather subpar. This insecurity about my writing has haunted me throughout my life, and I have this feeling towards writing mainly…

    “Writing is an exploration”. Famous American novelist, Edgar Lawrence Doctorow once said that “A person can start from nothing but learn as he goes.” Focusing on this idea, it is possible to say that writing is a skill to put ideas on a piece of paper and not be afraid if one does not like writing. Even the greatest writers like Shakespeare, James Joyce, and others might not have thought that their writing was exceptional at the beginning; but they had to start somewhere, from scratch, and later on, let their work do the talking. I use these examples in order to prove my main idea which is: learning how to write effectively does not just happen in a day or a night; it takes a considerable amount of time with a lot of coverage, focus, and determination.…

When it comes to details I don’t provide enough information.…

    Writing has always been a part of my life that I have both fond and not so good memories about it. Starting in the early years of elementary school, I can remember teachers emphasizing us to be creative in our writings so that they would stand out from the others in the classroom. Some people may think that writing is just to get through an assignment and on to the next one; however, it has always had a way of enveloping me into the writing process since high school. Throughout my English classes in high school, I grew from being an average writer, to feeling like I was excelling at my work.…

Even experts acquire a few weaknesses they may need to work on; however, I have a greater extent than just a few. Punctuation is the major problem I still have; nevertheless, my punctuation has become finer, but this is still not a tip-top skill of mine.…
