Personal Writing Statement

Personal Writing Statement

I took ENG 2100 last semester and it was an interesting course. We did three essays based on personal narrative, rhetoric, and a research project which were all separate but connected. I hope there isn’t a specific theme we have to relate every essay too. Last semester it was climate change and I found myself getting stuck at times because it didn’t really resonate with me. When I’m writing, I am most anxious about finding meaning in what it is that I am writing. I am not worried about the technicality of my writing because I believe I am fluent enough in that aspect, so it’s more building on what I wrote and connecting it all. My goals in this class with my writing is to relieve any internal restrictions I have when it come to writing. Whether that’s laziness or thinking of something and not having the time to write it on paper, I want to be able to sit there and just write. I often find myself procrastinating and then it leads to worse writing because it is rushed, so I hope I can do well with that. At first, I’ll be shy to participate but once I know my classmates that usually goes away so pls don’t call me out immediately. I do well when I am familiar with what is ahead of me, and that mostly has to do with the people around me. I am looking forward to this class and what it can bring.
