Personal Writing Process and Academic Challenges

Hello class... the writing process is an important aspect of the university experience. My personal style is somewhat dry, I think. When I read what I have written, sometimes I feel like the words are repetitive, and I tend to use long sentences when composing just about anything. I do not know if this is a good quality to have. I just want to make sure that I answer all of the necessary questions to complete an assignment. Suggestions for improvement would be very helpful, and I take constructive criticism very well.

The academic challenges that I face are time constraints. From the previous course (Academic Strategies) which I took last term, emphasis was placed on not procrastinating when working on class assignments. I find that I am improving on this as I go along. Being able to finish what I start in one session is very helpful, and it takes the weight off of my shoulders when I realize that a task is complete. Also, a positive outlook is valuable. The knowledge that I am working toward the main goal of achieving a degree keeps me motivated and focused.

Up to this point, school has been a high priority. It will continue to top my list of important things to accomplish on any given day. As this term progresses, there is a good bit to learn about improving my writing style. The main thing that helps me along is a solid support system, because I can share my experiences to my family, and I can vent when I need to. Motivation is a key factor which keeps me on track to not only achieve a good grade for each class, but to actually learn from my mistakes. I think that Kaplan University is an excellent institution, and with all of the resources available through the system, I feel a sense of confidence in being able to realize my goal of moving forward in order to acquire the necessary skills to perform in the professional work setting.
