Literacy Background

Story of myself as a writer

Writing is not a habit for me. Every time when teacher assigned writing homework to me, I felt pain and wanted to get rid of the work. I tried to avoid any writing assignments in my life. But life is always not as you like. My life showed me that writing will accompany me until the last minute I live on this planet. 

Writings permeate all aspects of my life. Most of them are still appearing in my academic study. I wrote it for my writing course, for my lab report, for my internship, etc. I accept the fact that writing is surrounded me and hope to treat it as my friend, not an enemy. 

“I am not good at writing.” This idea lingers in my mind for long years. My parents always told me that my writing was not good as my sister's. I know their purpose was to encourage me, but their opinion on my writing invisibly stayed in my mind until I grew up. I really appreciate my high school teacher since she always encouraged me to write and always used a trick way to tell me my writing was not that bad. Because of her, I gained more confidence in my writing. 

Then I came to college. I attend UWP 007 course. This is actually the most serious time for me to focus on writing. In the few years of my previous study, writing has always been affiliated with a course. It is not an independent course.Teachers in my school didn't talk about the strategies of writing, the purpose of writing, and the meaning of writing very specifically. In this course, the instructor did give me a thorough perspective on writing that I never thought of before. She opened my mind and makes me feel enjoyment in writing.
