I got this topic from the post Ms. Sasser posted onto the Google+ site. It caught my eye because I also agree with it. I feel as though if I can’t relate to someones writing as the reader and it’s not interesting then it’s boring. I also feel that way …

In high school I was not a great student, I’m in no way implying that I am now, but my high school years were filled with lost potential and underachievement. I always knew I could do better though, and I knew that taking my high school courses more seriously is …

            Sometimes, I can’t find the words to say, out loud, how I feel or what I think. This has led me to notice that it is easier and better for me to write down what I think and feel first, than to say it and things get left out,…

            What is one thing that makes this world great? I think one thing that makes this world great is the great freedom of expression that exists in our world. I personally think that the world wouldn’t be what it is today without art, music, sports, and just the many…

A friend posted a video on Facebook saying an education is useless. I am an open minded person so I asked him why he felt this way. He told me the video explains his feelings. When watching the video I had both supportive and opposed opinions. The person in the…

I decided to title this blog post by its file name, blog post 9, in an effort to express my appreciation for these types of writing assignments. Instead of our class instructor, Tanya Sasser, having the entire class write weekly essays, she allows us to express ourselves freely with blog …

When I first started this this class I knew what blogging was, but I had never did it before. Since we have a blog due every week I have fell in love with blogging. It seems like as the weeks go on I’m running out of things to write about.…

This is one of my biggest problems when it comes to class assignments, projects, and just everyday life. I am the BIGGEST procrastinator. Once the professor gives out an assignment I always tell myself that I’m gonna go ahead and get it out the way so I don’t have to …

     Just to start off I would like to state that there are millions of great blogs out there. Continuing on that note I would like to point out that it is hard to find the right one to show my appreciation to. There has been a significant amount of …

From the first time I heard a poem by Maya Angelou to now, I have been intrigued by Angelou’s writings. She is truly a gifted writer. Her poems can tell a story like no other. They are filled with her pain, happiness, strengths, weaknesses, sacrifices, vulnerabilities, sass, humor, honesty, and …

In a 1993 National Assessment of Adult Literacy, the largest government-funded national literacy survey to date, stated that the average American reads at an eighth grade reading level.…

Writer’s block is an occurring problem in writers. I, personally, have Writer’s block once a week. I hate when I’m set on a subject and can not gather materials on my work. Now I am researching materials on writing. I am improving on gathering materials, but not quite great at …

Most music that sounds cliche, average or not good at all is probably because of the writing that has been associated with it. Back in the day music had lyrics that were written by legends like Bob Dylan, Paul Simon and Leonard Cohen, but some artists now and days have …
