A trip to the ocean can be a relaxing escape from the everyday pressures of life. A sailboat glistening on the horizon provides a mental escape to faraway places. The rhythm of the ocean beating against the sand is sedating music to a troubled mind. A slow, gentle breeze can relax your tensions. You should always be careful to avoid overexposure to the sun at the beach.…
In efforts to resolve the issue, monthly staff meetings should be introduced, whereas employee work reviews, complaints, issues and any changes within the executive team can be discussed and resolved in a timely fashion; by doing so we can prevent or minimize the effects and cost that problems and unresolved issues can, and in this case have, cause to the company. These meetings will keep the executive team all on the same page while also allowing the employees to feel that they have a time in which their concerns and problems will be heard and also resolved. Holding these monthly meetings will reassure us and help me maintain a healthy, effective and productive office, which in-turn saves the company cost of overtime fees and cost of time and poorly produced work.…
This class has taught me many things about myself along with many necessary skills needed while writing. I know now that, through hard work and determination, I can achieve what I might think to be impossible. While reflecting back on my initial writing abilities, I see the weak, uneducated style of writing. Each essay shows my progression and improvement, and, after a while, the class began to become much easier. Today, after practicing throughout my essays this semester, I believe that I, in fact, have…
In the past a thousand weeks, I feel like I have accomplished a great deal. As the quarter ends, I find myself reflecting not only how I have survived my fifth quarter but also what I have learned. The most important thing I have learned so far is how to become a better writer. I did not think it could really happen to me. I did not think I could handle all the work. I did not think I could actually become a better writer. Somehow, after all the hours of writing, and putting effort into my papers that I wrote in this quarter, I became a better writer. I did this because I concentrated on two very important areas. With help from an awesome teacher and my partner, I have become a better writer by improving my skills in the areas of procrastination and content.…

Currently, I use writing in my career for reports, email responses, and monthly summary reports that I'm required to do and send to my superiors. My reports are for arrest, stats, current personnel assignments, and manpower hours. I have to send business type emails to my superiors several times a week with information they have to report to the Sheriff. Several of these documents are used for legal proceedings and must be error free. Writing in my career has increased. It seems there is a new form or added information that needs to be included with my reports, which requires more writing very month or so.…
Writing has continually been a challenge and not having established a set writing process rendered it a bit more complicated when I began writing this exemplification essay because I was unable to fully convey all of my thoughts and ideas onto paper. Now that I have developed my own writing process I have learned that one approach to overcoming this challenge is to create an outline listing those thoughts, and then organize them logically so that I can write the relevant ideas into my essay.…
My Writing Process Writing is a process that came about because people believed that it was critical to record what was happening and being created at that time. Many people view writing as a formal and elaborate form of communication, when in reality, writing is just an extended form of speech. The stance I take on my writing is that when someone else reads my work they should hear my voice and envision me reading the paper to them. Because of the philosophy I have on writing, I avoid the formal process that includes 13 multi-layered steps.…
I have a long way to go in order to become a successful writer. When a person writes something, they should have something to say. It seems that you really won’t have anything to say unless you actually analyze your surroundings, and honestly the amount of things we have to observe is endless.…
Blossoms and Thorns of the Growing Writer: An Analysis on my Growth Throughout the Year The four main steps of the writing process are what makes a great writer and throughout this year I learned the importance of these simple steps. The writing process is composed of prewriting, writing, revising, and editing, all of which are equally important. My least favorite step is prewriting, due to my lack of prewriting my papers often ended up without a structure, causing confusion for the reader and making it much harder to read.…

From the start of this school year in eighth grade I have improved on my writing in one way or another. Since the beginning of the school year I have always struggled with writing. I never knew what to write or where to start but, as the year went on I struggled less and began to find a better starting point easier. There were somethings that I always found were easier for me to complete than others. Finding quotes to support my opinion was hard…
Coming into this class I was aware that my writing abilities were not the most resilient. I attempted this class my senior year in high school, but due to lack of motivation and laziness I received a D for the class. Seeing that I needed to retake a class that was not particularly my most successful topic pushed me to achieve success. I established a goal, to pass the class with at least a B, and I am only one more paper away from doing that. I’m writing this letter to tell you how my writing has changed for the better over the semester, and the obstacles that I had to overcome.…
