In most cases I would not consider myself a writer. I mean I write e-mails, letters, and texts but only papers when it is required. It's not that I can't write it's just that I don't necessarily enjoy doing it on my free time or just don't find the writing prompt interesting. Since I have trouble being creative a majority of the time it becomes somewhat difficult to make the papers I write more unique and interesting to the reader. I think that in order to be considered a writer you should at least find joy in writing, and I have yet to do that. I have always had awesome english teachers but I never really felt like my writing had improved or that I found what I was working on relevant until last semesters ENC1101 class.

Generally I write for the grade or for means of communication. On most days I don't go more than ten minutes without writing by means of facebook or texting. When I do write papers it is because I want to receive a good grade, not because I want to write. A majority of the time I just find it difficult to connect to the topic or just find it irrelevant so I write enough to receive the grade I want but don't actually connect with what I am writing.

I hope to learn to enjoy writing more in this class. It's not that I struggle in english it's just that I consider writing papers more of a chore and I want to stop thinking of it that way. I want to learn how to expand and explore more with my writing and actually write something that depicts me as a writer.
