Intro to Writing Paper
Writing is an important skill to have in life but it is not a skill that comes easy to most people. Writing can be positive for people or a really negative experience. Writing is thinking and requires a person to work hard and stay focused. I have had really positive experiences with writing and enjoy writing overall. I describe myself as a good, enthusiastic and positive writer. Throughout my education, writing has been a subject that I enjoyed. I would much rather write a story or a paper, than do math problems. I have always been an average and above average student depending on the subject. I haven’t always received an A on every paper I have written in school but the reason people tell me I am a good writer is because I always write from the heart. Ever since I can remember everyone has told me that I am an amazing writer. I can write for hours in a simple birthday or thank you card. I love writing to and about the people I love and things that are important to me in my life. I am definitely a creative writer. I enjoy writing once I begin and find the process rewarding and therapeutic. When I write, I have a hard time starting the writing process and staying focused. It makes it a lot easier for me when I create a plan and outline for my writing before I begin. In general the writing process is positive for me. Once I have a plan and begin writing I enjoy the process and always end up writing more then needed or expected. I believe the writing process is positive for me because I believe in the importance of writing. When I become a teacher I definitely attend to teach writing to my students. Of course writing is a part of the core curriculum but I plan to make a big emphasis on writing in my classroom. Depending on the grade of the students it will make a strong influence on how I will teach writing. If it is young children learning how to write I will teach them the basics of writing and
