Personal Narrative: My Job As A Writer
There were moments when I felt like no one was going to take this serious or care about what I have to say about racism but I kept going because I knew that is my job as a writer to keep writing and continue to support my claims with facts. As I kept writing I felt more and more like a writer because usually when I write a paper most of the time I run out of ideas and get stuck but when I was writing this paper I didn't get stuck or ran out of ideas. The more I write the more ideas appears in front of my eyes and I couldn't stop writing. At the end my research paper came out to be 15 pages long and I didn’t even realize a bit that I wrote that many pages. I was shocked and Nervous because I didn't know how to react to my accomplishment. It

    Personal Narrative: My Writing Process

    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…

    Personal Narrative-Asze Atsma, The Writer

    At the beginning of the year it felt like I would have never been able to write any paper that was more than two pages long, it just seemed impossible, but for the research paper I actually had to stop myself from going off and writing a twelve page paper. I will admit and say that English is not my strong suit, in fact it is probably one of my more difficult classes. But just because it is difficult does not mean I don’t like it. I like looking for topics that interest me and still fit in with the guidelines, I like getting involved in the paper and researching the topic until it feels like my head is about to explode. I never saw any of that coming, I thought that I was going to have to go through English and just pray…

    Personal Narrative: My Changes As A Writer

    The amount I have changed as a writer is unbelievable. The biggest change is that I no longer loathe writing a paper. I feel as though it comes more naturally than before, and I can now make complete sentences easier than ever before. Another thing that has changed is how quickly I can write a paragraph before I would struggle getting a cohesive thought on a page, but now writing a paragraph that relates all together in some way is easier. All of this brings me onto my next point.…

    Personal Narrative: My Greatest Influences

    My greatest influences are my parents and my brother. My brother suffered from Guillain- Barre Syndrome when he was eight. He lived in the hospital on an artificial ventilation for 97 days and later he had to continue physical therapy for at least ten years as he was completely paralyzed. 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.

    Personal Narrative: Overcoming My Writing Barrier

    My writing has been my biggest barrier. To overcome this obstacle, I am using the writing center. Writing webinars have helped me learn strategies to address my grammar and sentence structure problems. I plan to take a writing class at a local college to expand on what I have learned from the writing center. Currently, I am looking for a class that will fit my work schedule and budget. The goal is to improve my writing so I can have my prospectus approved.…

    How Have I Grown as a Writer ?

    In the past a thousand weeks, I feel like I have accomplished a great deal. As the quarter ends, I find myself reflecting not only how I have survived my fifth quarter but also what I have learned. The most important thing I have learned so far is how to become a better writer. I did not think it could really happen to me. I did not think I could handle all the work. I did not think I could actually become a better writer. Somehow, after all the hours of writing, and putting effort into my papers that I wrote in this quarter, I became a better writer. I did this because I concentrated on two very important areas. With help from an awesome teacher and my partner, I have become a better writer by improving my skills in the areas of procrastination and content.…

    Personal Narrative: My Aspirations As A Writer

    I am writing this quick letter to introduce myself and tell you a bit about my accomplishments and aspirations as a writer. I won't say that writing is in my blood or my genes or anything like that, but I will say that I do have an insatiable urge to write. I cannot say, but I definitely feel that writing is a passion of mine that I greatly enjoy. It is an urge that can only be satisfied and, even then, only temporarily, by stringing words together into a narrative. Ultimately, I greatly enjoy writing, although I do not consider myself to be stellar at it; I would call it a passion more than anything else.…

    Personal Narrative: An Upcoming Writer

    During the past four years of attending Newark High School, working on MLA format was something teachers worked very hard on to teach students. Every essay written by each student had to be correctly written in MLA format or else you would fail a writing assignment. This has been taught since the start of Freshmen year of school. There was no way around this rule. From just graduating High School, I am very experienced with writing essays. In many different classes we had to write essays. We did not just write essays in English. Students had to write essays in Math, Biology, Psychology, French, History, Government, and many more classes.…

    Personal Narrative: My Passion For Writing

    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…

    Personal Narrative: My Writing

    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.…

    Personal Narrative: Myself As A Writer

    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.…

    Personal Narrative: My Writing As A Writer

    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.…

    Personal Narrative: My Writing History

    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…

    My Senior Activism

    But I made sure that I chose a topic that I am passionate about and so went with the Higher Education for Undocumented students, which mainly focused on the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM Act) I knew that I would write more about something that I deeply care about and wanted to make a difference and was an issue that I had been working on since my Sophomore year. I had volunteered with organizations that helped undocumented immigrants and students. When my writing process began I remember freezing. I went blank and did not know what to start with. I had all my research and activism with me. I even had quotes and experiences from undocumented students that I wanted to add to my paper, but somehow I did not know what to write. My civics teacher noticed that I had been putting off my writing and she called me up in class. When I sat with her we chatted about my research and she had seen all the work that I did on the issue and was surprised that I did not know how I start my paper. I told her that writing is not my strong suit and I was scared that I would not graduate. She said that I should not worry about my writing. Her advice was to just start writing about what I cared about and that there is a reason why I choose I chose my topic and should focus on that and not on the actual writing itself. Her advice helped me because I realized that worrying about my writing was dragging me down and that I was missing the point of the Activism project. I then started to write about my issue and I did not let my writing put me down. I focused more on my topic and what I did for my activism. By not obsessing about my writing I was able to finish my first draft n one week and for the rest of the year, I worked on getting feedback and editing. What I learned from this experience was that…
