I’m not a huge fan of self-help books, but my parents bought me The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens and told me to read it. I thought they were nuts. At first I bluffed it off so I didn’t have to read it. Then I started high school and suddenly I had lots to juggle. I was frantically trying get everything done and still find time for fun and family. Then, after deciding that what I was doing wasn't working, I started to read your book. As I read your book, I started taking what you wrote

When this project was first proposed in class, I became nervous, as my foundation in writing is not strong. I was eager to set aside time and help a student in need, however I didn’t believe that my skills were strong enough to do so effectively. I immediately initiated contact with Jonathan, and to my surprise he had asked to set up a meeting just a few short days after I was assigned this project. The first meeting lasted just over two hours, and I believe both Jonathan and I left the session happy

Thinking about my individual writing process has caused me to forget how I begin a paper. It’s strange to think about the concept of what writing is before you actually write something. After reading over the assigned pages to give me the help I need to discover what my individual writing process is I “skimmed” over freewriting. I tend to just start writing and let my thoughts flow and I feel like it’s what best suits my writing style. So here we go. My individual writing process includes freewriting

This class wasn’t exactly what I expected, I was not ready and misjudged myself. The way I write isn’t any different, in my opinion, besides the fact I think more about what I’m writing if it's good, and having someone proofread it. This class showed me that I am not a writer, and don’t want to be one. I did not grow as much as expected as a writer, I thought I was going to get better with comma splices, but no improvement. I could improve more on my sentence structure, paragraph transitions

writing was my Julius Caesar essay. This was my worst piece of writing because I did not have good preparation and I was slightly rushed while writing the essay. The essay could only be written in one class period, so I was not able to read over my paper and check for grammatical problems. Another personal detail that made me struggle during the writing was I forgot some parts about the play and didn’t understand specific sections. Without fully understanding some parts of the play, it was difficult

as much paper as it can within the office, but that only goes so far. If Company X could reduce the amount of paper it uses it reduce the amount of trees being cut down and the pollution put off during the recycling process. Company X fills up 4 – 26 Gallon Recycle bins per month with paper and we shred another 4 - 30 gallon bins, I am assuming the bins being shredded are also being recycled. Much of the paper Company X is using can easily be turned into online assets that require no paper. The
