Personal Narrative: How To Improve My Writing Skills

Looking back at the first day of school it was nervous enough to meet the teacher, then starting to writing the first day was even more nerve racking. Thinking I will do poorly or do silly mistakes like in high school. Getting back my paper back and seeing that I had some work to do to improve my writing skills was embarrassing because I should have known how to do so already. I had to really focus and hope that I can improve more in my writing skills this first semester of English class. To be ready for English 102 next semester and know what i'm writing and wright it good to pass the class.

What I have learned is to always do a prewriting strategy and get all your ideas organized so when you write your essay you just have to add some details here and there to make it stronger. By doing the prewriting strategies I have time to revise it to see if I missed a word, punctuations, or a letter that needs to be capitalized. Knowing that you have enough time to write down

For me this was one of my weakness, because I would not like other people to see my flaws in writing. Thinking what if they will think less of me because of my writing skills. I had to stop thinking like that and realize that this is going to happen again next semester of English 102, so I gave my paper to some friends I trust and they gave me feedback and helped correct my stuff. There I saw where I would do a lot of mistakes and try to change them when I would write a new essay. When I reread my revised essay they sound better and things are in the right
