I noticed my writing has improved since I started college. I can now write an good essay with five complete paragraphs. In college writing i learned how to write a thesis sentence and paraphrase. Also, I learned how to use transitions words. However, there are still areas I need to work on like, concluding sentences. While I am learning to write good concluding sentences I enjoy thinking strategically, it cause me to think outside the box.
During my time at City Tech my writing has changed from the way how I used to write in high school compared to now. I used to have problems with grammar, using vague words like you or it but after learning about the mistakes I made in writing I try my best to make sure the papers I write is clear and understandable to the reader. I am not going to lie one problem I still have is the use of transitional words such as to clarify, I argue in addition those words are used to strengthen your sentence structure so the reader can have a better understanding of the topic. I will try my best to overcome this challenge so i can be a better writer than today. One thing I do enjoy about writing is being able to express what you think and put it on a piece of paper because the greatest aspects of writing is if you can connect to one`s ideas and reflect to your own even in an argument there is a connection that is created between writers and readers. what I want to do is be able to reach out to people without using words but using my thoughts on a piece of paper to inspire or inform one. writing made me learn that it takes more than just writing what one sees it a connection on what one thinks based on what one feels. turning in a paper because one did it is different from being proud of what one turns in as a paper. writing inspired me to don’t write what I see or hear, but write about what makes a connection not only to one but other people around the world because that is what writing is about making it clear to the other reader understanding.
