College Effect!

My academic writing has improved a lot compared back to my high school writing. I have learnt many new skills that have positively improved my writing.one of the skills that has significantly improved is the structure in mu essays, my essays have a more solid structure than before. However I need to keep working on transitions. My transitions from idea to idea are not solid yet. I’m hoping to learn how to improve my transitions.
Argumentative essays are my favorite essays to do. When people dont agree with my ideas I challenge my self to counter there ideas. I  learn from them and this helps me develop better analytic skills and over all helps me with my academic writing.

Writing Improvements

In the beginning of the semester, I could write but not like now. My writing skills have improved a lot. For example, now in my essays I can use so many transitions to move from an idea to a different idea. I also can develop my ideas better than before. Also the organization of my essay has improved. I mean that now I can put what in my brain on the page in organized way. However, I still need to work more on my grammar. Grammar is the only skills that challenge me during my writing. Most of the time I mess spilling a word, put the verb in the wrong tense, and putting comma where I’m not suppose. Also I keep making a lot of run on sentence. I believe that if I get better on grammar, there will not be any aspect of academics writing that will still be challenge for me. One aspect that I enjoy the most in my writing is using transition words. I like how I transfer from an idea to another idea and how it makes the essay looks professional. In addition transitions makes the ideas more clear and easy to understand.

Assignment 2

During my time in City Tech, i see a big changed in my English writing, in high school I used to take more than 3 hours to make a clear respond in the task they give me, now i have develop my skills in writing to a better understanding. In the time I have at City Tech grammar and clarity still a challenge in my college writing, but that don’t stop me to overcome those challenge and still improving my writing. I use to have a lot of problems in high school making a coherent writing work, now I feel more confident about my skills in writing even if they still not perfect, something I enjoy in academic writing is the clearly thoughts i can write in a act of creation.

First Weeks in City Tech..

My first few weeks in college has been about adjusting to the expectations of my professors.Even though its just the beginning of the semester,i can already feel the pressure of not being able to pass my classes. There are many exams that i have to review for in the first few weeks of this semester. Its different than before because professors expect students to be more self self reliant and independent. I am getting my self familiar with the map of city tech and trying to memorize my classes. The duration of classes is longer than before so yoga helps.
