Dear Professor
As a freshman in college, I know myself enough to say that writing has never been my strongest skill. Never. I believe that writing is extremely important and I envy those who can do it with ease. Good writing doesn't come to everyone and it should not be overlooked. Against(Contrary to) popular belief It doesn't always have to be evil and out to ruin your life such as a research paper or a long narrative poem telling of a hero's deed. It can be a bumper sticker on a Volkswagen Buggie or even Amanda Bynes last crazy tweet, now the difference good writing and writing in general is a whole other thing I'll have to get into. If your reading it, it's someones writing. Whether its good writing or bad writing, well it depends on whose reading it really. My writing has never been at the level where I wanted it, and I can confidently say that I would never feel fully comfortable with sharing any of my writing. I have never been able to express my thoughts or ideas through writing; at least clearly. There's something about sitting down and pushing these little button's for hours that doesn't mix with me. Maybe my lack of knowledge about writing could be blamed for my crappy work or maybe even lack of interest. One thing I do know is that my horrible grammar gets in the way with writing, not as much as it should thanks to autocorrect; but I'm sure you won't have a problem seeing my problem. Essay's and research papers have always been my biggest enemies. I have only written poetry for school purposes and I have never kept a journal or anything of the sort nor do i post statuses on Facebook. I do post on twitter, probably more than I should, or more than anyone should for that matter. I absolutely consider it writing. Is it worth a grade or a trophy? Probably not. I can say that I'm confident in my posts on twitter. As pathetic as that sounds, I promise at least one of them would make you laugh. When it comes to reading, I love it. Books of many different

    Personally, I’ve always felt I was a decent writer in all aspects regarding research and personal narratives. Considering those are subjects that interest me and that I love to read about. I struggle the most when it comes to making my writing hold a deeper or hidden message when the topics I am told to write about don’t interest me. Having to do rhetorical analysis with old literature and having to explain the main idea was my number one struggle in AP language and composition senior year. But other than that I felt, throughout high school, I enjoyed writing and taking a majority of the writing classes my school had to offer, not only because it was required but because it was something that teachers and myself felt I did acceptable work.…

    I don't have much to say about writing for myself. Writing doesn't mean much to me. I am not a writer. I am an orator. However, writing does mean something to my wife. I love my wife. She loves to write. She spends hours a day writing. I watch words flow from her fingertips as she writes page after page. She doesn't let me read much of what she writes, but when she does, I can see the passion and the joy that she has for what she writes about. I wish that I could write with such a fire.…

    I would have to say my writing is average and its nothing really special about it. There is some things I want to work on to make my papers as good as they could be. My strength as a writer is that I stay on topic and I hit all the points I suppose to hit. One of my challenge is that I don’t go into detail about my topic. I usually get straight to the point and I will have to go back and add details to meet the word requirements.…

    It's happening right now all around you. Although the “outrageous transformation” has yet to occur, more and more people every day are turning to their smartphones for shopping convenience and comparison. For a Christmas gift for his girlfriend in 2010, Tri Tang went shopping for a Garmin global positioning system (GPS). He found exactly what he wanted at a Best Buy store for $184.85. But instead of dropping it into his cart and proceeding to the cashier, Tri pulled out his smartphone and typed in the model number. He found the exact same Garmin GPS on Amazon's Web site for $106.75, with no shipping and no tax.…

    Overall, I am not a completely horrible writer. I’m good at getting my point across, and just flat out writing once I get going. However, there is definitely things that I can improve on, as there almost always is in life. My grammar skills and sentence wordiness can greatly be improved, this will come with writing more and looking over my work. I didn’t really write papers until this class, so these issues will also get better as I become a more experienced…

    Good writing to me means knowing what you are doing. By this I mean you know how to use good grammar, punctuation, etc. I think a good writing piece will also have a noticeable start, body, and end. You know you have written something well when it clearly makes sense and there aren’t errors.…

    I am certainly not a strong writer and have often struggled with personal writing. Coming from a household where neither of my parents graduated high school, I found that I have partaken to push myself to be successful. I believe that I am extremely fortunate having the ability to ask for help from my professors, mentor, supervisor and colleagues. My confidence has gone up tremendously when working with clients and other professionals. I believe that I have grown as a writer and a…

    I used to believe I was a good writer. Throughout my elementary school education, creative writing dominated curriculum which allowed my extremely creative mindset to thrive. In middle school, I developed an elitist mentality about my writing ability. Believing that I reached my academic peak, I felt no need to sharpen my writing skills, causing me to become close minded to critique or other writing styles. Upon entering high school, I still clung to the idea that I was the best, but after my first week of class, I realized how weak my writing skills were in contrast to those of other students. Now, I am aware of my strengths and weaknesses as a writer, and hope to have come far from my middle school self.…

    Throughout the year, my writing has had significant improvements, compared to where I began. First, I began this semester fairly confident in my writing abilities. I thought that I had a strong grasp on writing concepts that include: transition words, literary devices, proper grammar techniques, correct paper writing format. In contrast, I felt that I began the year with a weak vocabulary, which has always been one of my weaker areas, If I were to rank myself on day one of class, without knowing all of the material we were going to cover, I would rank my writing skills an eight out of ten.…
