Recommended: Importance of academic writing in the field of education

Writing is not the most fun thing to do in the world, especially when one is entering college. I am the least prepared when it comes to college writing and have always found writing very difficult. I was taught how to summarize articles and how to quote in highschool, but I definitely did not try my best which results in my poor writing. I blame myself for not getting the extra help I needed during high school, but I only learn from my mistakes. No matter how much I hate writing, I have to push myself to do the best I can because writing is very essential in any career. Throughout high school, I never understood how to properly write an essay. I remember being fairly good at writing sentences in elementary school and middle school, but I did …show more content…

Some students say they do better under the pressure of a deadline. Don’t believe it!” ( Bullock and Goggin 50) This is great advice everyone should listen to, especially me. I used to think that I would write so well under pressure and in the last minute, but i can assure you that is not the case. I tend to procrastinate when it comes to writing essays and I am not very proud about it. Whenever I try to start a paper ahead of time, my mind always goes blank and I could not start a sentence to save my life. I think that is why I always wait to do my papers last minute because that way I am forced to write something to try and get a good grade. It is not the best technique to use when trying to write an essay and I hope I learn new techniques. Writing has always and will continue to be a challenge for me. It is not something I enjoy doing because I have a hard time writing. I know I have to work hard to write a good essay and to become a better writer. I am familiar with summarizing articles and quoting, but I know I am capable of writing better than I do now. It is not going to be easy and I will not become a great writer overnight, but with patience and hard work, I will get to where I want to

Then I jump in to College English 1010, I feel like I do well in all other subjects but this one. English is my worst nightmare.

    Writing is an important part of everyone’s life, whether we use it in school, in the workplace, as a hobby or in personal communication. It is important to have this skill because it helps us as writers to express feelings and thoughts to other people in a reasonably permanent form. Formal writing forms like essays, research papers, and articles stimulates critically thinking. This helps the writer to learn how to interpret the world around him/her in a meaningful way.

  • My Writing Experience

    Fears such as, that I am not smart enough or that I do not possess the necessary skills to write successfully consistently plague me. These realistic fears are a scary reality as a first-year undergraduate student facing college level writing courses, because, if I fail it is not only myself that I fail, but my family. Furthermore, the amount of time between high school and starting college brings to mind the possibility that the lapse of time is too great and I will be unable to keep pace with the younger students. Also, the numerous writing styles, grammatical rules, and overall complexity of the English language is a large amount of information to retain while working a full-time job and balancing a full family life (Pinker, 2015). Even though now I understand the importance of attaining solid writing abilities, the fear of failure is something that I face every time I sit at the

    There isn't much of a history for me, when it comes to my writing experiences. As I have grown up, I was never much of a writer, and no different than any other student when speaking in terms of my homework, or any school work for that matter. I didn't ever want to write papers, and my homework was something which I both dreaded and procrastinated until I couldn't ward it off any longer. During the Junior year of my high school experience is truly when my inner writer began to come to fruition. As the reality of the fact that I wouldn't ever get out of doing my work became ever increasingly apparent, I finally grasped the concept of what it meant to just sit down and take care of business, especially when it came to writing papers.

  • Argumentative Essay On Poor Writing

    1408 Words  | 3 Pages

    The last word a student wants to hear from a teacher is the word “essay”. That word is always accompanied by groaning and complaining, followed by nervous thoughts about the essay, dread leading up to it, and misery during the actual writing process. On the bright side, there is at least one positive aspect. As a fellow student, I can attest to the fact that there is no better feeling than clicking print, stapling the pages together, shoving the essay in my folder, and never thinking about the essay again, for fear of bringing up bad memories or having an anxiety attack. All of this fear and dread leads to one thing: poor writing. The education system has been trying to solve this problem for years: why can’t students write? How did such a
