writing has me all over

the place asking for

help!

Highschool Never Prepared Me

In highschool I was never challenged. The

only thing I was taught, was how to write a

five paragraph essay. My first week of

college, I was assigned a ten paragraph

essay. If I had a teacher really explain how

to write a research paper, college would be

easier for me. If my first English class is this

hard, what will the other ones be like?

All that my English class from

high school was writing essays,

but I felt like I never actually

learned anything from it… a

teacher or professor can have us

write all they want but what is that

actually going to teach us?

When I try to write I end up

looking like this

Sometimes teachers don’t even realize

how much writing we all do on a daily

basis, what counts as “real writing”? :

Direction of Writing

Present & Future ways I want my

writing

BEFORE:

The ends are a straight line to show

thats the end

AFTER:

The ends are in arrows to show

thats the continuous path i'm taking

Page 9: Scatter brained

When I am writing, I always get distracted and will

get on some social network like Facebook. Since I

do this, I usually do not get my work done on time

or I am cutting it short. I need to focus.

In a health profession, I do not feel

like after college I will be doing a

whole lot of writing, even though I

am forced through classes to spend

countless hours writing papers.

By the end of my learning

journey,in school, I want to be

able to carry weight as a writer:

Page 12: Scatter brained

Most of my writing is done on my

phone or at least some sort of

electronic device.

This is what happens when I start writing, I never know where to

start.
