Hi everyone! My name is Aichatou Ibrahima but I prefer to go by Aicha, the “c” is pronounced as an “s” (her/she). My intended major is Biology.

   For this course, I am most excited for the group discussions and blog posts. I am also excited for the argumentative topics we will be discussing. However, I am very nervous and anxious for the essays and exams that we will be doing. English Language Arts has never been my strong suit. I always struggled with essays and I still have to work on my procrastination problem. 

    There are many qualities in good writing. For example, good grammar, clarity, and how interesting it is to the audience. In order to be a good writer you have to continue looking over your work for any grammatical mistakes you might have missed. You have to make sure that your sentences make sense and are understandable so that you don’t confuse the audience. Your sentences should flow together and not be all over the place. Start your work with something that will make the readers want to keep reading. It is important to be able to write well because you will be able to express yourself non-verbally without any misunderstandings. You will be able to use the right tone and emotions to send the message you are trying to get across without having to worry about misinterpretations.

    There is no easy part for me when it comes to writing. However, the part that isn’t as difficult for me as the rest, would be outlining. Outlining helps me get all my thoughts down in order so that my work won’t be all over the place. I also think that I am able to express myself well through most of my written work. Now, the hardest part for me when it comes to writing is starting the work and staying focused on the topic. As I mentioned in the beginning, I need to work on my procrastination. I think that that’s what’s holding me back from improving my writing skills.

    Since I am majoring in biology in order to become an OB GYN or Pediatrician, I’ll be expected to write biographies, lab reports, and visual analysis papers. I’m not really sure how being an effective writer will impact my opportunities but I think that It’ll help me do my job better.
