My College writing

One aspect of my writing that has improved is me not using you as much because in the beginning that’s all I used.  Also something that has change in my writing is I’m being more clear about what I’m writing about and not just saying certain things that have to do with what I’m writing. One aspect of college writing that is challenging is having to word everything in your own way. College writing in the beginning was hard but now I’m getting use to it so it’s not as hard as before but there is still some aspects that are hard. Another aspect of college writing that I enjoy is how I can express myself in a way that no one can because when I’m writing about something it’s going to be something different then someone in the class is writing about.

    Hi Alani,
    Thank you for writing this! I am so happy to see that you have realized that what YOU have to say is absolutely unique, and this is why trying for precise language is important. I know that pesky second person (“you”) is a hard habit to break, but this is one improvement that you have already made and will make your ideas even clearer.

    Keep up the work!
