Personal Narrative: My Approach To Writing
My Approach To Writing

Thus far in this course I have had a great time. I met a lot of new people and I have a great professor. I actually have learned a lot already and hopefully there is more to come. I'm going to talk a little bit about some of my goals for this course, how I plan to use my knowledge of writing in my career, personal and workplace. I also want to talk about how I set goals for writing a academic paper, and even talk about some of my struggles and biggest challenges for writing for other people.
I have quite a few goals for this class such as passing, gaining even more knowledge than I already know and to utilize what I am taught in my future workplace. My main goal for this class is to pass. I stated this as a main goal because if I do not pass the class then there would be no way that I could utilize what I have learned in my future workplace. Furthermore, I am definitly going to gain more knowledge by studying and learning from my professor as well as my classmates.

    My writing process is usually all over the place, I have to be in my room with my door shut, my music on, my fan on, and my television on, weird, I know, but that is what I have to do in order to keep myself concentrated. After I am all situated I begin by writing down different ideas on a couple sheets of paper, listing ways I could support this idea and how it relates to my topic, sometimes when I am stuck I look up sample essays online to help me out of my rut. Once I finally choose an idea I start writing the first things that pop into my head down on another sheet of paper, it usually ends up being a jumbled mess that only I can understand. After all of my ideas are laid out onto the paper I begin placing numbers beside them so I know…

    My greatest influences are my parents and my brother. My brother suffered from Guillain- Barre Syndrome when he was eight.

My parents and my brother devoted their few years completely for his treatment. Today, my brother is a successful engineer working in the bay area. I learned that with dedication, determination and diligence we can achieve our dream in life…

    In all seriousness, my writing is garbage, but it some what improved the slightest bit because I had a professor who actually knows how to teach a English class and not give little hints on telling us if our paper was trash. Instead, we were told straight if it was a good paper or not and it has probably helped me improve the most. In High School, I was always told that my papers were “good,” thankfully I finally had a Professor who can give it to me straight and tell us how we can improve our writing. On all the RRs, RWL, and formal essays that I have written these past twelve weeks, I have gotten educational criticism that has helped my pathetic writing become less pathetic and somewhat college worthy writing.…

    My strengths are a writer derive from my enthusiasm for writing. I think that part of my abilities stem from my love for writing, because I actually want to hone my skills and perfect my craft. Were there a church where I could mount the pulpit and preach on my feelings about writing, I would be up there doing it. I have said that this is something I must do, and it is true, but as the .love you feel in your heart and your soul for what you are doing reflects in the quality of what you do. Thus, a baker who kneads dough with love in his heart makes a far better loaf than one who dreads what he does, just as a plumber who loves plumbing…

    I remember, when I was younger, that I wasn't fond with the idea of writing. I remember after writing out paragraphs upon paragraphs my hands always hurting and my brain exhausted from all the mental thinking and processing of writing. However, I would have this feeling; this sensation when I would write with thought, with passion and I carved it. However, it was hard to find a place that was felt the same kind of passion that I felt for writing and could help hone my writing. Then, I found out about BISFA that could help me with my writing, but my English teacher, who was supportive in my decision, told me a question all writers should always themselves, Why do you write? I figured that I would have an answer, but it I didn't. However, it…

    Thinking of creative ways on how to develop my paper is a strong suit I benefit while taking on a writing assignment. When given a topic to write about, I write down what comes into my head. I do not worry about the word count if the sentences make sense on paper or even punctuation. I write to avoid forget any important points I might have thought of. This method of writing is where my weaknesses show. Sometimes what I wrote makes sense in my head, but not on paper. Other challenges I face with writing assignments are time management and punctuation.…

    I used to believe I was a good writer. Throughout my elementary school education, creative writing dominated curriculum which allowed my extremely creative mindset to thrive. In middle school, I developed an elitist mentality about my writing ability. Believing that I reached my academic peak, I felt no need to sharpen my writing skills, causing me to become close minded to critique or other writing styles. Upon entering high school, I still clung to the idea that I was the best, but after my first week of class, I realized how weak my writing skills were in contrast to those of other students. Now, I am aware of my strengths and weaknesses as a writer, and hope to have come far from my middle school self.…

    Throughout the year, my writing has had significant improvements, compared to where I began. First, I began this semester fairly confident in my writing abilities. I thought that I had a strong grasp on writing concepts that include: transition words, literary devices, proper grammar techniques, correct paper writing format. In contrast, I felt that I began the year with a weak vocabulary, which has always been one of my weaker areas, If I were to rank myself on day one of class, without knowing all of the material we were going to cover, I would rank my writing skills an eight out of ten.…

    My writing history is all over the place. I took Honors English my eleventh grade year, and loved it but took AP English my senior year and hated it. Mr. Palmer, who taught honors, was my favorite English teacher. He let us write about whatever came to mind on Fridays, whether we were ranting about classes or just had a fun story to tell. My favorite part about him is that he actually taught me how to write. My AP teacher did not improve our writing but only critiqued it. In my opinion, you can always learn how to write better. Even with being in AP I wish she fixed my writing more than just giving me a grade. More than half our students failed the English exam and the national average was a 2 on a scale of 5. So, within the past year writing…

    I came into Writing with 39B with the same goal I came into Writing 39A: to become a better writer. Mastering my writing skill has always been a challenge for me, yet I never give up when I encounter an obstacle; I work diligently to overcome my challenges. I believe I have gradually improved in my writing performance at the University of California, Irvine (UCI), this class has contributed to enhancing my writing and expanding my knowledge. I knew coming in that Writing 39B was a time-consuming class, but I underestimated the workload and the time dedication it required. I thought I would be able to dedicate the appropriate number of hours in Writing 39B without any trouble, but I was wrong. Besides taking Writing 39B, I am currently enrolled…
