Personal Narrative: Improving My Writing Style
Towards the beginning of English 110, I wanted to improve upon several issues within my writing style. These issues included the frustration of attempting to improve upon my inability to write a coherent sentence after experiencing intense feelings of irritation and boredom. The other problem involved my inability to create seamlessly flowing paragraphs from one to the next. My goal was to improve my writing abilities by practicing and learning to expunge those mistakes and become a caring writer for the papers I had to write. I have met some of these goals with relative success. The greatest example out of all my writings which displays any improvement stems from the product review paper. My product review is the pinnacle of my major paper
work performed in the class because it demonstrated my dedication to quality, attention to structure, and the adherence to creating a paper that would not be agonizing for me to create. For example, my opening paragraph for the paper exhibited my interest not only in the product, but the topic and the paper itself. My detailed description of a street in a fictitious Japanese city provided an expression of symmetry and the aptitude to help a sentence flow from one to the next and eventually to the next paragraph. Because of the mentioned paper, I was able to overcome an obstacle within my writing style and allowed me to effectively communicate a great product to my readers by the natural flow of the paper. Another example of progress is my homework summary papers. I was tasked to focus on creating a one paragraph summary that possessed multiple sentences instead of multiple paragraphs. These assignments taught me to focus on how individual words are as imperative to the message of the paper as the paragraphs themselves. These revelations made it to where the papers themselves were easy to follow and comprehend. Due to these repairs to my writing flaws, I’ll be able to transfer these newfound abilities to other classes and other aspects of life. The new skills that are transferable to other classes and life scenarios include the ability to focus on a paper and produce the best quality possible for the eyes of the instructor or other potential readers. The other skill that I will bring to other classes is my new trait to easily write papers for the mentioned respective class. These skills will make me a good addition to other classes because it’ll keep things interesting for the professor and myself. The only problem I must change is my issue in keeping up with my assignments as well as turning them in on schedule. However, this matter can be easily rectified so long as I attempt to excel in the class and place effort in earning a good grade. For the life situations, I will be confronting deadlines and word limits to my work. This class taught me to make every word count, and the lesson will be consequential to my career success as an aspiring journalist. It is important to overcome your weaknesses and turn them into strengths. That is what English 110 taught me. In the beginning of the year, I was a half-decent writer who was told that my writing skills were that of a college undergraduate (to my dismay). In the present, I acknowledge that there is still so much for me to learn, and I must receive as much as college is willing to give.
