Hello my name is Asya Parson my name is spelled A-S-Y-A but its pronounced as Asia like the continent I am a nursing major. I am excited to start the class because I do feel like I have progressed as a writer and I still have some flaws in my writing but I am hoping this class will help me receive some critiques that would help improve my writing. I am mostly nervous about the test and finals cause test could make me nervous some times.The qualities of good writing is to make sure your writing make sense and your using all the correct grammar another good quality of good writing is making sure your getting the readers attention cause no one want to read something that is boring.In order to be a good writer you have to be able to take criticism from other good writers cause that’s how you get better also to be a good writer you gotta be focused and know what your writing about you gotta think about what your writing don’t rush.Its important to know how to write well because eventually in some point of your life your going to go out into the professional world and your going to be asked to write something weather its your signature or a paragraph writing tells how you think and how you speak your writing could tell a lot about you.The easiest part of writing for me is the hook I find it really easy and fun when I am trying to bring my readers in and make them more interested in what I am writing.The hardest part of writing to me is sometimes I move to fast in my writing and my grammar is all over the place. I am going in a career for nursing I don’t think there is a specific genre that you write in nursing ,being a effective writer can effect my career opportunities because knowing how to write is fundamental in life your writing could tell a lot about you.

Hi, my name is Karen Herrera (she/her) and my major as of now is undecided although I have thoughts of majoring in early childhood education.

After reviewing the syllabus, one thing I am excited about is learning how certain situations impact our experiences. I look forward to reading new texts and books in order to gain more insights on social and political issues. One thing I am nervous about in this course is the critical analysis research paper we will be writing later on in the semester because I haven’t had a lot of experience writing research papers. Some qualities of good writing are being able to express your ideas clearly, being organized in your writing, your word choice, and your voice while writing. In order to be a good writer you have to be able to catch your audiences attention quickly in order to persuade them to keep reading, listening, etc. You have to have a set pace and sociable transition set in your writing, you don’t want to mention the same things repeatedly, that will bore the reader but you also don’t want to jump into all your ideas at once, that will throw off the reader and lead to confusion. It is important to write well because not only is writing used on a day to day basis, but writing well is a principle factor in communication and emphasizes how you are able to portray your ideas. The easiest part of writing for me would be reasoning, I tend to gather a lot of thoughts specifically in a persuasive essay regardless of what side I’m on. Also, I find the editing and revising part of writing both easy but overwhelming. When you think of it, all the writing is there, it’s just a matter of rearranging ideas or sentences, grammer, or adding more writing but sometimes I want to change things but become very indecisive on whether or not it would be a good idea. The hardest part about writing for me is usually the introduction because you have to properly introduce the topic but also keep it short while not specifying your entire writing piece and I usually struggle with this part. Although my major is undecided, If i decide to pursue a career in early childhood education I would be expected to write literacy genres along with descriptive, persuasive and narrative forms of writing. Being an effective writer will affect my career opportunities because having experience with different writing pieces allows me to conversate with younger ages at a more supporting level and understanding.
