My Writing Is Strong Essay

812 Words4 Pages

When it comes to writing I, for the most part have no clue on how to go about it. I have never exactly seen myself as a strong writer but there have been very few times where I would have said that my writing was weak. By no means do I think that I have the skills less than that of a high school student but at the same time, I wouldn’t go on to state I have the skills of an English major or even an English minor. That is my reason for taking WRT 098, I would like to improve my skills as a writer to at least the level a college student is supposed to be on as a freshman or maybe at an even higher level. My greatest fear about writing is that I try my best and it turns out to be one of those examples on what not to do in front of the class. …show more content…

Proofreading probably falls under the same category for me, sense it is my own paper, I have this since that nothing in the paper is wrong and I can’t clearly make it so that I have a just and unbiased way of finding problems in my papers. My last concern is probably my biggest weakness, I have a very big problem with procrastination. All my life I have been able to put off any work I had until the last couple hours and then finish it while maintaining a very solid GPA. It is just something I do now because I feel putting it off will help me get it done in the long run. As far as I know, this problem may be the reason for all the other ones mentioned in this paper. I am not sure how to change/fix this problem because now that I am in college and on a block schedule, everything is different and I am not getting a constant end of day reminder telling me this is due next week or do this tonight for next

My weaknesses include procrastinating on subjects that I am not fond of and spending too much of my time on subjects I am fond of. For example, I found my Psychology courses to be riveting; more often than not would I spend time reading my textbook while flipping through pages. However, I found Economics to be a bore and would leave those assignments until the end. In turn, critical thinking and English are my strengths. Analyzing literary works, characters, and author’s purpose would get me the best marks, for I would view everything as a complex framework with many

Another weakness is Grammar mistakes, like using farther instead of further. They way i can improve upon these weaknesses is practicing verb editing, knowing where to put commas, periods and apostrophes.
