Walking into my writing class I wasn't really sure what to expect. The class was pretty small and the teacher looked really young. I thought to myself is it going to be like my other writing classes? My high school writing teacher was a huge hippy and well crazy. She would have us pick from a basket and inside the basket would be slips of paper with a couple words on it, like the car stopped and he was in loss of words to find.. and then it would stop and we would have to finish it. It was crazy and annoying. Sometimes their would be one word like sweater and we would have to use it in our writing. For a better lack of words it was pointless. So I had a thought in my mind of what I didn't want my college writing class to be but I had no idea what I wanted. I loved to write when I was younger I would write long stories about anything but I would ramble and ramble and nothing would have periods or grammar and everything would be miss spelled.
So I walk into class and the teacher starts talking about what we were going to do and what to expect for the class. I thought to myself she seems nice this class actually might be fun, and teach me something. The teacher asked us what we wanted to learn and accomplish. I though to myself I would really like to know more grammar things. Whenever I write I leave periods out and I never put commas in and I ramble a lot. I think I need to work on that a lot, to get all my ideas on a sheet of paper and then start to write it instead of rambling and trying to make all my ideas in my head fit on paper and make sense. I would also like help with standard edited english. I find myself using text message slang to often.
My goals for my college career are to graduate with a GPA of 3.0 or higher and with a masters of Fashion Merchandizing and minor in Business. I want to move to new york and get a job with a independent company or a big corporate company. I think this class will help me to obtain these goals because I will sound more professional and learn how to carry myself when having a meeting or needing to write email or letters. This class will help me approve my grammar and standard english which will help me in the long run, like filling out applications and anything at work i would need to do. I think this class will enhance my writing and techniques.
