It's a wrap
My first quarter in college is coming to a close. It's different than high school and it took awhile to settle for a good daily routine. At the start of my academic writing class we were asked who we were as a writer. I have stated many times that I am an average writer. These past ten weeks have given me a good view of how skilled I really am at writing. I am still average at best, but I have improved based on new research methods. As previously stated I have excelled in critical thinking and it has affected how I research a topic. I have also learned through the research process to closely read my resources to help pull out crucial points to support my argument on the topic. Everything has been helpful to improving my writing style. Who am I as a writer? I would say that I am someone who gathers as much information as possible to support my argument through research, and I make sure to receive feedback to help me find fix my mistakes, so I can become a better than average writer.

I really enjoyed watching your evolution. You really moved from a summarizer to a researcher and it was inspiring! I think you will find that when you spend enough time on researching and gathering enough evidence (to make you feel confident about your claims), your writing will also improve. As you continue to work on your writing, I suggest sharing your writing with people who write the ways you aspire to write and then ask them for their perspective.
ReplyDeleteBe confident in your ability to share what you found in your search for knowledge, as you have a lot to offer to the conversation! It's been a pleasure.
