Having gone through my primary level and the secondary level, it gave me the opportunity and privilege of getting to like the manner at which the writers were using different types of writing techniques to make their stories interesting. It gave me that burning desire to be among the top writers in the universe when my time comes. Throughout this essay, I am going to give some of the reasons as to why I decided to enroll in the course and the advantages of writing towards my academic skills and professional life.
We are a family of six made of four boys and two girls. I being the second born, I had to follow the footsteps of our first born to ensure that the daily needs of the family are attained. We were not privileged enough to have both of our parents due to a road accident that claimed their lives. It was in this situation when I noticed that elder brother was always too busy with his computer. One day I gathered my guts to ask him why he was always too busy on the computer. It was then and there that he showed me about the writing industry to which it was behind the up keeping of the family. With my past desire …show more content…

I decided to take an English course to go hand in hand with my writing desire. To my surprise, I realized that some of the lessons we were being taught in the course I had gone through them while learning how to write. One of the main requirements in every college is that one must write a proposal. To people like me, coming up with a proposal writing was not a problem since I already had professional knowledge of how to write essays and projects. Writing and grammar work hand in hand since it makes one’s story to be interesting and catchier to the reader. My performance was extraordinary to an extent that whenever a student wanted clarification, the teacher would ask me to step in to offer the

Over the course of this fall semester, my development as a writer have transformed positively. I feel more confident organizing my ideas because my literacy development has improved. Specific improvements that I can recall reflecting back to the three major assignments in this course are the thesis statement construction, forming my ideas together and write clear sentences. Another personal accomplishment would be the understanding and implementation of the rhetorical terms. Throughout my years in college, mainly I had struggle writing in English because English is my second language. However, I used all the tools and knowledge available resulting in a noticeable progress as a writer.

In his essay, "Teach Writing as a Process not a Product," Donald Murray outlines the major difference between the traditional pedagogy that directed the teaching of writing in the past and his newly hailed model. Traditionally, Murray explains, English teachers were taught to teach and evaluate students' writing as if it was a finished product of literature when, as he has discovered, students learn better if they're taught that writing is a process. For Murray, once teachers regard writing as a process, a student-centered, or writer-centered, curriculum falls into place. Rules for writing fall by the way side as writers work at their own pace to see what works best for them.

As a first time, English student in the university, I begin to understand what writing and literacy means. As I work halfway through out my semester, I have come to read and learn about different situations and meanings in many articles and books. Taking this course allowed me to understand and develop my writing process even further than I did before. As I read these articles, I notice certain aspects that these authors were trying to teach and inform us about. I shall demonstrate and identify what I have learned throughout this semester by creating points below.

Although reading had always come naturally to me (I scored an 800 on the reading portion of the SAT), I used to inform others that I would rather have someone else do the writing for me, as I was happy simply reading. Unfortunately, that cute line did little to alleviate my writing assignments in school, and so I accepted the necessity of writing, without falling in love with it. During my junior year, I began to truly understand that while reading was my passion, writing was a skill, one that would become even more important to me as I grew. The importance of writing, to me, can be summed in a single word: communication. Writing, in its most basic form, is the distillation of ideas into a format whereby others can come to understand those ideas. Personally, my life “plan” is to become a wife, a mother, and an English teacher. In each of these facets, communication is vital, integral to the role. Although I don’t anticipate writing five-paragraph essays to my children every day, the skill of effective communication taught through writing can only improve my own ability to share my ideas.

Growing up, I didn’t have much. My father was a high school drop out, and my mother was away in the Navy. What I did always have however, were stories and books, and lots of them that were read to me. Almost every night my grandma or my aunt would sit down and read me a story as I feel to sleep. I became attached to the books, knowing them by the contents inside and the front covers, even memorizing a few of them by heart.

It is my belief that through this class and the tools provided, that my growth as a writer has grown through leaps and bounds I would never have assumed possible. It is not so much the skill I refer to, although I would think skill has gone up in some levels as well, but more so the appreciation for the craft of writing itself. Intially, at the start of this class my sole goal was to further my understanding and appreciation of the writer's and books that I so love to read. Through further evaluation within the first week, a few other goals came to mind, of which were making writing a habit, finishing what I start, stop second guess my writing skills and making effective use of detail and describtion. Through use of the many articles, various

Over the course of my academic career, I have faced my fair share of challenges. From the time I started school as a young child, education did not come as naturally to me as it did for a majority of my classmates. The most memorable of these struggles, and the one I am most grateful to have gone through, was mastering the art of reading and writing. For a vast majority of my elementary schooling, I was pulled out of my classroom environment to work with a special tutor to strengthen my ELA skills. With haste, I began to see the hours I put in materialize into successes, and every milestone I hit filled me with the joy of a job adequately done.

As I reflect back on these last eight weeks of class in this semester, I’ve to realize that a writing process is an art form, depictions of words in expression of emotion creating words in actions to reveal the elements of visual images, storytelling. I've also learned to become a good writer you must challenge your confidence in your individual creative mind, first by brainstorming a topic of discussion, analyze in structure viewpoints of that topic, in also by doing research in finding references points. I can say one of my biggest challenges in my Illustration, was my thesis statement, especially when it came to expressing my personal viewpoints in experience about my brother life, when it came to my narrative essay, it was tough and

Especially when it came to writing on a subject based on information or statistics, however after the last few essays, not only do I have a new found confidence in my writing skills, but I’m incredibly excited to write about new and more challenging subjects.

Ever since I was a child I have loved reading interesting literature. The very first books I recall picking up as a child were the stories of Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland. I got them as a Christmas present and I remember thinking how lovely it would be to actually understand the words that were printed onto the paper. So I started teaching myself how to read, with a little help from my mother of course. Every time I had figured out how to pronounce a new word, I would run of to my mother so that she could explain the meaning of the word.
