College Writing

In the last 2 and a half months i feel like my writing skills have improved immensely since high school. College as helped me to expand  the idea of the topics. Like instead of just aimlessly writing it helps to involve yourself.  Like in the gentrification topic Professor sears asked us to look in the areas you know that have gone through gentrification. In high school that would have probably asked to just write about gentrification and talk about how it makes you feel instead of doing research finding out when it started and more information pertaining the topic. Also, in my college experience my Vocabulary has furthermore expanded since high school. Ever since high school i tried to always use bigger words to enhance the essays or papers I’m writing about. Thats just a personal goal that i think would be good for me throughout life. But thing thing that I’m mostly excited about when it comes to my college writing is that is isn’t over yet and won’t be for a while because this is just my first semester at city tech and it should get better and better from here on out.

    Hi Tycel,
    Thank you for reflecting on your writing! I’m glad you have seen how putting your unique perspective into essay writing is key to connecting to the subject and the reader, and makes essays (hopefully) more interesting to write. You are also thinking of the long term, which is great….your future writing classes at Tech will further your skills and help you learn to articulate what you mean to say!
