My Writing Strength
When I was in high school, I didn’t know the aspects of writing an essay even though I passed the writing part of the OGT test. Writing has always been a strength of mine because I have good handwriting and I’m willing to improve it any way possible. I never knew about citations, in-text citations, and not using the first person. In high school, students usually can turn in anything they have and literally pass a paper every single time. Writing is a very important skill just because it improves communication skills, creative thinking, and how to express ideas.
I have trouble with citations and in-text citations because when I get information from the internet, forget to include in-text citations in my essay. Have trouble generating

    One of my greatest strengths is resilience. From a young age, I have learned to remain positive in seemingly hopeless situations. I come from a broken family. My father was abusive and my mother acted as a single parent. Due to the strains of raising two children alone with a meager income, I became the other parent my family needed. I babysat my sister when I was still a child and acted as the emotional support my mom and sister needed. Over the years, I have continued to be their fundamental support and ultimately began placing their needs above my own, as my primary concern was to keep them safe. Through everything, ranging from daily abuses to neighbors alerting the police in extreme cases, I was the rock that my family could lean on even…

    My Writing Capabilities

    My writing capabilities, when writing about things like emotions, fall within the limits of those that I love. I could write novels about my mother’s strength or my sister’s dedication or even one about my cat’s eating habits, but when I’ve been asked to write about myself, I never can. For a lack of a more scholarly word choice, I see difficulty in talking about myself or my qualities without feeling as if I have an extremely inflated sense of self. I tend to keep to myself and while to my innermost social circle it may sound insane, I had a tough transition to coming to terms with who I am during a time when my mother was absent due to illness and I felt misguided. I can recall several instances in which I would stare myself down in the mirror…

    My core, defining strength in writing is set up of the physical pape. When I write a report, I usually divide my paper in different segments as that allows the reader and myself a quick and easy method to find where information is located. This probably stems from the fact I must write a lot of lab reports as a Biology major. However, I cannot recall if I ever written an argument report with this method as I just starting using it when I enrolled in college. It will be interesting to see how well I will do.…

    Assessment one was used to try and identify some of our writing strengths and weaknesses. One of my main weaknesses way my lack of planning, drafts and editing. Because I started the assessments late I would run out of time, my work was rushed and my writing was not clear and concise. From assessment one I set myself a timetable, began the remaining assignments in advance and allowed numerous drafts and editing. I always finishing my last draft a week prior to submission so that I had a week to re-read, edit, and touch up. I used all resources available such as online grammar websites, online turn it in to check for plagiarism, and friends or family. I think this helped as my tutor’s comments on assignment two said my writing was “of good academic…

    Since I have not heard any rumors about English 101, I cannot judge how this class may go for me. English and Writing is not one of my strengths but I really believe this class will help me turn my weakness into a strength. The way we were taught to write formal essays in high school are nearly the same as it is in college. Using the MLA format was big in my high school because we were told it was going to be a necessity in college. Something different about this class is having to write everyday. Every time we enter this class we should have a piece of writing ready to discuss and peer edit.…
