And in true Jamaican fashion (cause wi extra bad!). Wah gwaan everybody?! My name is Joelle McKenzie, I am a 3rd year student with a major in Exercise Science and a minor in Pre-Physical Therapy. I look forward to working with everyone so as to achieve at our highest and greatest potentials.

In going through the syllabus, as expected, because this is an English Composition course, I duly noted the amount of reading required. As a child, I was an avid reader, I enjoyed reading a book from cover to cover along with learning new things, and I brought that sense of curiosity with me into adulthood, so I am excited to see what literary adventure this class will bring me.

With regards to what I may be anxious about, as much as I loved reading, formulating compositions was not exactly my strongest suit. I do hope this course will help me to develop that skill set.

I believe qualities of good writing has to do with the development of sensible structure, coherent ideas, intrigue, expressionism, as well as a sense of correctness. To be a good writer, one has to attest to the attributes of the qualities of good writing and let it shine in one’s works. It is important to be able to write well so as to ensure the readers can comprehend fully what the writer is trying to convey to his/her audience.

The easiest part of writing for me is introducing a subject matter. The hardest part is in developing and conceptualizing the idea (s) due to a fear of repetition. What I need to work on most is composition development and progression with a purpose.

The genres that will be expected most of me in my career field are descriptive, objective, and subjective writing when making notes. Given that my future profession is in the arena of Physical Therapy, being an effective writer will require me to focus mainly on  the patient’s progress and therapeutic development, so it is expected that I will have to prepare and provide documented information with clarity and concise precision.
