    From Reading To Writing 
 Throughout my life, writing has been a positive influence. Writing was a coping mechanism and it truly helped to form the thoughts I wanted to say, although I was never able to verbalize them. Reading and writing were not pastimes until the sixth grade, when I learned that I had a hidden talent for writing journals. The teacher gave the class an assignment— to journal about what our perception of a typical day was. The writer within came out in the paper offered, and the

    general fear of making mistakes. From the moment they started writing in class, the emphasis lies on the rules, therefore, moulding the student to understand writing as a set of grammar and punctuation rules rather than a string of ideas aimed at communication.

    Writing is something that I find almost intoxicating. When I write, I suddenly have the ability to forget my current problems, and I can focus on the stories my brain is itching to let free. At times I will use writing as a coping mechanism for when I need to divert my attention away from my own mental anguish. From a young age reality is something that I have tried my best to avoid, due to the fact I have had to live with a Generalized Anxiety Disorder. As a child the real world seemed entirely

All my memories of writing from English and language arts have been of not knowing what to write, never having enough to say, and just hating putting words to paper. So I assumed I was just bad a writing and I would never enough it or be any good, but I was wrong. For year the only time I ever wrote more than a few sentences at a time was for English

    Whenever I think of writing, I think about the anxiety that it causes. Every time I submit a draft of an essay I always have a fear in the back of my mind that it is not good. It doesn't matter how many times I have revised, or I have had others proof-read it. Much of this stems from a fear of failure. This is no surprise considering that any given piece of writing can have a large impact on one’s grade. However, in writing failure is inevitable. In school, failure can have lasting impacts which

    Ever since I was younger I loved writing and reading. I would write short stories when I was younger, and you could always find me with a book in my hand. But as I was growing up that love faded because I soon found grammar and spelling hard to get correct. Also, when I would read out loud some words I could not pronounce so there were times when my peers would make fun of me. These experiences have turned me away from writing and reading, but I believe that this class had helped me get some of that

    Dear Mrs. Thompson, before this class I was not very interested in writing. I used to slack as a writer in elementary school. My aunt used to make me read many books on the weekends and in summer. Then she would have me write lengthy book reports on them. I hated hyer for them at the time but they really helped me out in the long run. Unfortunately, these habits did not follow me into middle school. Throughout middle school.

    Writing an essay has always been a difficult and tedious task in my opinion. The writing process I followed when creating the original assignment consisted of research, a rough draft, a small amount of editing, and a final draft. Researching the topic was the first step I took in writing my paper. I searched for credible and useful information that would have a positive effect on my essay. After gathering my information, I worked to create an outline that would assist in the organization and structure
