English 111
Self-Awareness as a Writer

Washtenaw Community College has a wide variety of certificates and Associate Degrees to choose from. English 111 is a requirement for many of the certificates and degrees. In order to obtain the degree or certificate you sought after you need to meet every requirement. My field of study happens to be Math and Science/Pre-Engineering, and one of the requirements in the first semester is English 111. Further on down the road I will be required to take a few more English/writing classes. This is what brings me to writing class at WCC. English 111 is a transfer credit for me. After obtaining my associates degree in Math and Science/Pre-Engineering, I will be transferring to a four year college to obtain my Bachelors Degree in Engineering. I hope to transfer to Northern Kentucky University where I originally attended college. The reason I hope to go back to this school is because it is near where my child lives and I would like to be a big part of his life. The reason I am in Michigan is because this is where my mother and step-dad reside. These are the people helping me through school to set me on the straight and narrow. Along with fulfilling a requirement, I am also taking writing classes to help with future employment opportunities. I want to be a Civil Engineer, which is an Engineer that designs roads, and damns, etc. This field of study will require writing reports and even writing up presentations. How I present myself with my presentations and report could help keep my job security. You would not really be able to keep a job if everyone is trying to read something you put together and it has many errors and it is hard to read. This class will help me learn how to write professionally and correctly for my future career.

I have been brought to writing classes at WCC because of location, fulfilling a requirement, and also to help better my job opportunities later in my

    Every human is on an adventure that is long and filled with conflicts. How those obstacles are overcome builds character. Smart decisions must be made and mistakes conquered. In Mythology, by Edith Hamilton heroes faced decisions that determined their identity. Oedipus was determined to avoid his prophecy, but he only succeeded in fulfilling it. Achilles embraced his fate. Odysseus faced many tribulations, but was dedicated to make it home. Hercules met every challenge, but was defeated by love. In Greek Mythology the journey represented the internal struggles and eventual perseverance of mortals.…

    I believe that the major objective of English 111 is to practice different substantial skills that will help you increase your writing abilities. These skills will prepare students when they’re expressing thoughts, feelings, viewpoints, and information orally or on paper. In my opinion, the most important central concept communicated in the syllabus is the Course Schedule. I will constantly be marking off the assignments that I have already completed so that I know which ones I have left to complete. It’s extremely important to be well organized and to always keep up with when the work is due. If you get too far behind, it’ll end up being too much work to catch up on. Being proficient is key to success in this class. The only question that…

The Great Fire of 1901 began in northern LaVilla and burned most of Jacksonville, though LaVilla's business district was spared. In 1929, the Ritz movie theatre was built. In the 1960s and '70s, the Ritz and LaVilla business and entertainment district declined; as the walls of segregation begin to fall, many middle and upper-class African-Americans used their new found opportunities to move to other areas of the city.…

    Many of the poets in the 19th century wrote about their life experiences that may have occurred in their life. Many of them had some hard and tough childhoods and adulthood experiences that happened and have haunted some of them.

    After Monday’s presentation by the Broward College’s career coach, I am not sure which writing class will benefit me more in my future career. I had originally registered to take ENC1102: Composition II over the summer, but now I believe ENC2210: Professional and technical writing will help me more not only in my college career but also in the work field. ENC2210’s main objective is to introduce students to technical and professional writing. This class will teach me how to communicate professionally in different scenarios. According to the course description, ENC2210 will teach me how to properly write emails, letters, resumes, memos, reports, proposals, technical descriptions, technical definitions, and technical manuals.…

    I have attempted to do this before, but because I have never had a class that focused so much on writing, it has been difficult. I feel that this class will be a good one to practice those skills in, as I will have many writing opportunities as well as many people who will aid me. Next, I would like to improve my grammar and learn the more intricate details of grammar that I do not currently know. My last goal is to learn what wording and writing style to use when, such as who merits a more professional style and when my writing can be more…
