Although, I was predominantly successful throughout high school, I still had many problems with writing. My confidence in my writing is most of the time very shallow. My lack of confidence comes from the fear of making common mistakes that I usually don’t see because of how often I make them. Most of the mistakes I make are grammatical errors. Most of my
grammatical errors are punctuation and sentence structure. I also have problems with critical thinking. When it comes to the way my paragraphs flow, I usually have problems with my transitions.
With the mistakes that I make in my papers, I think there is value in my writing. I find value in the ability to write well simply because you can get your information across with clarity. When you have a lot of mistakes, your paper could seem elementary in the professional field. One great thing I like about writing is the potential to gain jobs in the professional field simply because you are a good writer. Writing is critical in your professional life as well as your personal life. Becoming a good communicator through writing is something that we as students should have on our list of goals.
When you as a student value writing, you tend to be excited about writing. When it comes to writing, I get very excited by the opportunity to express my point of view to others. One thing I get excited about is the progression I could possibly see learning new information. Even though, my confidence level isn’t as high as it should be, I understand that there is progress to be made in my writing. The more I write, the more I get more comfortable with writing.
I have my strong points and I also have my weaknesses but as long as I continue to push through my apprehension, I can be successful. I enjoy writing and being able to get my point across through writing. I feel that writing is a avenue of communication that everybody should become strong in. People in their everyday life should work to become better writers and value the opportunity to express themselves.
