College English Class example essay topic
That's why I have I tried to avoid taking English during my college career and focus all my energy towards area's that I have strength and faith in. I lack flexibility in the use of words and phrases. A sentence of mine starts with "I", "It", "Because", "The". It is difficult for me to think of new ways to begin sentences or use sentence patterns that I see in other people essays. When I'm actually writing, a 2 page essay usually takes me around 6 hours to finish. A teacher once told me to use a process called brainstorming which I tried but found it not helpful.
I usually have thoughts going in my head and while I'm trying to figure out which thought to put on paper, I would forget what they were and I have to think all over again. Once I'm stuck, I would reread the whole essay again. I have a habit of procrastinating. I can only write in peace and quiet and that's only possible after everyone's asleep. This way I can finish the essay in an attempt instead of having to span over a course of days, which would cause me to lose track of what I was writing. Now in this college class, I am once again faced with what I tried to avoid for so many years, writing.
In my previous years of English, I passed with C's barely having to do anything, but now things are different. When I took Business English, I passed the course with an A. But now this College English class, I believe, is going to be one of the toughest courses I've have attempted to take at SGT C. I know in order to get a passing grade; I'm going to have to put real effort into it. Because I've put away writing for so long, I have to almost relearn everything from the beginning. Words I always hear of such as "thesis", "sentence structure", "reviews", "grammar" remain only as a faint print in my memory without any real understanding of what it is.
