Personal Narrative: My Workshop Eating The Elephant-Writing Anxiety
During my first semester in college at UNG, I had the tendency to ignore workshops and tutoring services. Despite the fact that these events are known to be helpful, they never interested me until now. Mainly I change my view about these services due to my last experience attending the workshop eating the Elephant-Writing Anxiety.
This writing event took place at the Martha T. Nesbitt Building room 2100. The presenter Mitchell first spoke about organization and planning problems. After that, she gave the audience the opportunity to share strategies to organize ideas. She then continued the presentation and spoke about the writing process and other methods I saw helpful for my writing issues.
Primarily, because I suffer from writing anxiety,
I realize all the information was useful for me. Meanwhile, I knew I had to take note of everything, so I paid close attention to every detail being said. As a result, I learn quite a few things; for instance, the methods to begin writing which include the freewriting method and the brainstorming/outlining method. Also, I learn how to follow the writing process which consists of prewriting, draft editing, revising, and finally publishing. Towards the end of the presentation, I learned about multiple intelligences. This is a list of learning types that categorizes a student’s learning as either being linguistic, intrapersonal, logical, mathematical, interpersonal, and naturalist. All this information showed me how to consider other learning strategies and how to overcome writing anxiety.
Once again, being part of this activity was a very pleasant experience, thus I learn various writing skills and other useful information. Because this event helped me understand my weaknesses, I’m definitely looking forward to attend these sessions again.
