I have many goals for this semester. This is my first writing class in college. I would really like to experience the fun atmosphere that I experienced in my senior English class last year. The teacher of that class was extremely sarcastic. His use of sarcasm made the class very enjoyable for me. This semester, I would like to become a better writer (I know almost everyone is going to make that one of their goals!). My writing improved drastically last year and I hope that trend will continue. I also hope to become more confident with my writing. When I write, I normally do not want others to read what I’ve been writing. Even if I thought what I was writing was good, I still did not let others read it. I also hope to learn better ways of tackling long papers. Usually, when a teacher gave me a long assignment I would panic and get stressed out. Usually, I would look at page requirements and if the assignment was longer than 4 pages I would immediately panic. My last year of high school I had to write a ten page paper and my English teacher showed me that writing lengthy papers is difficult but not something to panic about. I wish to learn more about the writing process and how good writers get started. I know that if I learned more about the different types of writing I will probably feel more relaxed when I write. So far my opinion of this class is very positive and I think this will be a good semester! I’m not sucking up! I promise!
I feel the same way you do about not wanting people to see what you were writing. I hate when people look over my shoulder when i'm writing. It makes me worry that they would judge what I wrote.
ReplyDeleteI would also like to become more confident in my writing. I also do not like when people read what I write, I start to feel self conscious about it and think that it is not good enough.
