I have grown as a writer this year in that I now give my writing its due diligence, with genuine effort. I believe peer review and consistency have been fundamental in my growth. My lack of motivation at the beginning of the year, along with my tendency to properly structure my essay to ensure clarity, have constrained my growth.
As a writer, I feel my main strengths are my expansive vocabulary and my eagerness to learn. I will use these strengths to continue to grow by expanding my vocabulary even further, and by studying the given constructive feedback.
I feel I am weak in that I struggle with brevity. As a person, I am usually long-winded, and I feel this comes across clearly in my writing- my inability to wrap up a paragraph or essay. It is important for me to strengthen this so that I don’t lose the attention of readers, and that my main point is always known. I will practice conciseness by elaborating only on key points to fix this weakness.
To ensure that I am a life long learner, I will continue to engross myself in books on various topics of life, and to always approach problems with an open mind that is ready to learn.
I would like to be a neo-natal nurse practitioner, which would involve informative, data based writing, as well as informative essays at UMMC’s nursing program.
A common theme I see is improvement. I feel I will adequately be able to incorporate and show how I have grown from past assignments to present.
