¶ … demystifies the act of writing, but I still maintain a deep appreciation for how challenging writing can be. There is always a sense of magic when words are combined in fresh ways to communicate ideas effectively. Before enrolling in the English course, essays seemed more daunting because I did not have proper organizational skills. Now, because I thoroughly outline my ideas before putting pen to paper, the writing process seems smoother. Diction and grammar flow better when my ideas are well organized. My range of vocabulary has improved, adding a level of sophistication and maturity to my work. Formal instruction has contributed in many ways to accentuate my innate abilities; I am no longer intimidated by writing.
By performing brainstorm and free writing activities before starting to actually compose, I can write faster and with greater ease. Revisions and rewriting can tidy up the unruly sentences and ideas of a first draught, which should be reserved for an uncensored stream of ideas. I have been more able to hearken to my creative voice since learning this process. Furthermore, remembering my intended audience also improved my writing skills, adding focus and integrity to my thoughts. Good writing entails good communication: keeping the audience in mind is essential. Persuasive and argumentative essays can be delightful to work on, and I have learned to enjoy working on these in particular.
My ability to write with confidence depends on my level of mastery of the English language. Good grammar skills foster my sense of self-esteem as a writer: instead of constantly worrying about a lack of good grammar, I am now able to forge ahead, knowing that I can always edit my work. As a result of improved grammar, I am now able to hone and develop my personal writing style. We all have a "voice," and mine has been clearer since taking English Composition.
Needing to borrow money can be a source of shame and a seeming sign of weakness for some people. Feeling ashamed can cause Tom to resent Rob for being wealthier than he is. Tom may feel even as ashamed as to avoid going out with Rob until the money is paid back. Once again, what was once a friendship built on good times becomes more like a business relationship
Causes of Increased Child Obesity Causes of Increased Childhood Obesity in the 21st Century Over the last several decades, the issue of childhood obesity has been increasingly brought to the forefront. Part of the reason for this, is because the overall number of children who are overweight or obese have risen dramatically.

College?) It's become a widely recognized fact. College is expensive, and saddles students with lifelong debts. Moreover, observation shows that people learn very little in college and that knowledge and talent in a field may be unrelated to the degrees that one has. There's a simple solution to this problem: the youth of this nation should refuse to go to colleges where they will be saddled with debt and useless
Grade Inflation Dr. Heather Monroe-Blum, Principal Grade Inflation at McGill: My Perspective I am a senior at McGill University, both of my parents also attended many years ago. Just in the three plus years that I've been a student here, I've noticed a trend in grading that I find disturbing. It seems to me that many students are finding it increasingly easy to get and maintain a 3.0 GPA -- something I believe
Causes of Juvenile Delinquency Criminal Justice The problem of juvenile delinquency is becoming more complicated and universal, and crime prevention programs are either unequipped to deal with the present realities or do not exist. Many developing countries have done little or nothing to deal with these problems, and international programs are obviously insufficient. Developed countries are engaged in activities aimed at juvenile crime prevention, but the overall effect of these programs is
Kennedy and the Civil Rights Movement John Fitzgerald Kennedy, or JFK, served the President of the United States for less than a single full term in the early 1960s after serving in Congress for several terms before this.
