Writer

Over the course of the year, I have definitely grown as a writer. At the beginning of the year my essay grades were extremely inconsistent. I did well on some essays but horrible on others. It was like shooting a basketball in the dark and hoping to make it. I focused on writing four paragraph essays --when it should have been five-- because I feared running out of time or writing unsatisfactory body essays. However, Mr. Koetzner worked with me to help make my work more concise and thus save…

Writing... It´s been with us since we were born and it will stay with us until we die. I can’t complain though because writing has made me the way I am today, it has taught me how to use correct grammar, good detail and how to start my essays off with a nice thesis statement.

I learned how to peer review better and to take what others say and…

comes to writing, I should begin by saying that it is not my favorite subject. I am more of a math or science person, give me equations or graphs any day over papers and essays. Now although I feel this way, I would like to think of myself as a decent writer. I have always done well in my English classes and on my papers and essays for those classes, but doing something well and enjoying it while you are doing it is two different things. I would not say that I hate English and writing- that is…

It does not make sense that there are few documents to verify…

papers, but I am hoping, by the end of the year, to strengthen my writing skills. Writing is crucial to the medical field because I will have to write reports and research papers.
