The way I approach writing assignments is , I like to write the main topic I want to talk about or get my point across. Second, I like to write rational phrases , quotes or real life experiences that might make my writing be understandable. From there I try writing my first draft and when doing this I usually get random ideas that I know I will want to use in my writing so I write it down as quickly as possible because it comes and goes really fast. That’s how I’ve approached writing assignments and I have found it really useful for myself. There are some days where I don’t feel like going through the whole process of writing my essay so usually I do it all last minute and I’m guessing the adrenaline makes me write my paper quicker than it usually takes me. That’s a bad habit I have and I would like to stop doing that. When I wait for the last minute I feel very rushed that I know I could’ve done better but I can’t improve it because the assignment is due in 5 minutes by this point.

Office Hours: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 12 – 1 PM. I’ll be available through Zoom and will send an invitation via email that you should keep all semester. Try to join my meeting at the start of the hour, not at the end—since I may be talking to other students or have another appointment after the hour is up. If those times don’t work with your schedule, we can schedule a different time. This means you’ll have to schedule an appointment in advance via email.

I decided to focus on how i learned to speak English being the first generation daughter and it’s struggles it came with. I chose this story because learning English really impacted my life.
The meaning of my story is about struggling with learning something but not being impossible to accomplish.
