My writing Experiences
As a student I’ve learned about so much stuff. Some of it was easy and some of it a little difficult but the hardest thing for me has always been writing. I’ve never been a strong writer but my third, eight and eleventh grade years were the most important because I learned how to write sentences to paragraphs, paragraphs to pages, and pages to 5-10 page papers. My third grade year I learned the basic of writing. How to write sentences, grammar marks, and punctuation marks. This year was important to me because it was basically the intro to writing. The teacher had to be good because she knew we would be writing for the rest of our life. She made writing very interesting and fun for my class. She picked various subjects that she thought would be interesting and fun for a third grader at the time. At time they were but some were very boring. She also knew we would have to take writing pssas in fifth grade so she had to show us various writing techniques that we would be good at. In eighth grade it was a very fun year. I still remember my teacher Mr. Gonzalez who made my class so fun and interesting. He was by far one of the best teachers I’ve ever had. He was chill and laid back but at the same he taught us. He made us do free writing in a journal every day for two minutes. It was a great experience doing journals because it taught me how to think about a topic fast, and just start writing. By the end of the year I was writing three hundred something words in two minutes. It was a great increase from the begining from the beginning of the year.

This was my year, my eleventh grade year. I would have to take my PSAT and pssas, and these test a little challenging to others. In English class, we would practice writing short stories and essays. Which to me were somewhat boring. I hated writing short stories I never knew what to write about and how to write them. They just gave me a big headache, but in order to pass the class I would need to

    I wasn't so proud about my english grade this year and I know I could have worked harder, but I have always struggled in english. This year taught me not to procrastinate and write an essay the night before it’s due, don’t just read the summaries online when you're told to read a book, and to take time doing your work. I was most definitely proud of my “Where I’m from Poem,” this was our first piece of writing. It described me and my family and where we are from without saying our addresses. When I first got the assignment, I really had to think where I was from besides from 5506 Atlantic Ave. I think that my hardest piece of writing this year, was my dental research…

    Before I was old enough to comprehend the impact that school would have on my behaviors and habits, I thought of school as a wonderful place to play with my friends and read stories filled with thousands of different adventures. Thinking back, those early days were the beginnings of the shaping of my personality. I was able to think for myself and enjoyed being able to present my true self in my writing, as I was a shy and awkward child. In my multiple stories that I wrote, I almost…

    Then from there I knew I had to learn how to speak english i got to it and said to myself I better learn english before the school year is over and it happened within 8 months i could speak english. But that year was extremely hard for me I still remember every bit of it. I could not communicate with my teacher or my classmates. The only thing I did was sign language and it was luck if they understood what I was trying to say. Everyone liked me since I was different like they said. The memory i remember most is when it was the one hundredth day of school and we had to make a poster with a 100. I did mine with beans i outlined the one hundred. I forgot to put my name on the poster and the teacher ask whose it was and i didn’t know how to say in english it was mine. Then this girl who did not do her poster decided to say my poster was hers i was so mad and i got up and told her in spanish it was mine not hers. The teacher said yes it was mine and i got credit for it and the other girl got in trouble for lying. I had all F’s during that time but i was still proud of myself because I tried very hard and as the saying says hard work always pays off. It did for me because know i am an A-B honor roll student and have been since my late…

    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.…

    During my tenth grade year my English class always flowed smoothly. As a class we were never really required to do much more than babysit ourselves. There were countless days we sat in class and did simple worksheets on the book Night by Elie Wiesel which I had read in the eighth grade. Not realizing this was an English class it felt like kindergarten all over again. I had even considered it to be the best class period through my first two years of high school. It was chill, easy, and, comfortable. That comfortableness had not only crippled me but was what played a key part in my eleventh grade misery. That’s when it had all started.…

    It was the night before my first day of kindergarten, and I was as anxious as ever; I was ready to learn all about the alphabet and the many different letters that were a part of it. My mom had told me that school was the place where I would learn these, and I thought school would be the best thing to ever happen to my life… little did I know. My first day of kindergarten, the teacher told us everything that would be going on for the year. I was just waiting for her to say "learning how to write the letters of the alphabet." Suddenly, those words finally sprang from her mouth, and I just about jumped out of my chair. I didn't fully understand why I wanted to learn to write; however, whenever the topic was brought up by someone, all I wanted was to magically know how. It absolutely intrigued and thrilled me that people were able to use these things called letters to communicate without speaking. My teacher really made me excited to learn the…

    Last year had to by far be the toughest year for me in high school. I grew away from many people that I considered some of my closest friends. I also suffered academically because I began to spend less time doing work and being focused on less important things. I got caught up in unnecessary drama, went on my first college visits, and met new people in the matter of one year. Not only did I grow as a person, I grew as an athlete, I grew as a sibling, and I grew as a young woman. My junior year allowed me to develop my expectations for myself in life and my expectations for the people who I choose to surround myself with. This was the year that I decided who I would want to become in the future.…

    Throughout my life writing has been very difficult. As a kid a speech impediment impaired my ability to learn to read properly. Because I struggled at reading, I also struggled at writing. In elementary school I went to a special class during lunch to learn how to read and write better. In middle school I went to after school help, but my writing skills always seemed to slip behind the level of the students around me.…

    Essay writing was a major part of the class. We wrote essay on race and ethnicity, gay matters, language technique essays. Each essay taught us about a different style or form of writing. Comparison and contrast essays taught us how to write an essay comparing two similar things. This type of essay was my favorite to write. In my essay I compared the careers of Lebron James and Kobe Bryant. The most difficult essay for me to write was the argument essay in which we were to defend a point using strong argument skills. For my argument essay I supported the argument that rap music is music of resistance. I can honestly say my essay skills have improved tremendously over the course of this year thanks to the many skills learned in this class.…
