I do not think I am a very strong writer. I always feel as if my papers are not to their full potential but I always try to remember this quote from an article we read last semester that basically said no piece of writing is ever finished. As a writer, I consider my writings outside of class very personal and emotional as they are typically journal type free writes.
The time I felt most successful as a writer was when I wrote a two-page essay persuading my parents to get me a dog. In this essay, I used key vocabulary words to sway their emotions in my favor as I told them all the reasons why I want one. Along with that, I told them the many things I would learn from owning my own dog.
I would like to improve my thesis statements. They are never what I would like them to be. I know I can improve them but I need pointers and advice on how to do so. I also want to work on my layout. I think I do a decent job at making my papers flow but there is plenty of room for improvement.
My learning style is honestly constructive criticism. I learn best when I am told what specific areas I need to focus on improving and what areas I am doing good at. I learn best this way because it helps me keep doing what I am doing in my strong areas and focus on improving in my weak areas.
