• Strength and weaknesses as someone willing to write
  
  I think I am generally an average writer. There are many things that I have problems writing but then there are other things that I write much easier then other things. I have problems when I write analytical papers because I have a problem writing down my opinions, I am better at saying them and speaking. I find it is much harder to put something down on paper then it is to say something because when you write something down it can look wrong and sound wrong. Looking at what you are trying to say makes a difference, I don’t really knw why though. Writing just takes time and many different drafts to try and express my opinion, eventaully I will get it down. I think I am a better editor then a writer. In high school we had to write many different papers and it was always after I wrote a paper and it was always a terrible paper that I could do something. I need somewhere to start. Starting anything is the hardest part because there are so many places you can actuall start from. When editing you can say no this sounds better here and that needs to be re worded. I think that is the only reason that my papers come out ok, it is because I can make them flow if I read over it enough because I catch the mistakes while reading not writing. Though I also admit that my grammer isn’t perfect. I still do make mistakes. Sometimes I think somethig sounds better then someone else and there is nothing that I can do about that. I think I would do a better job editing our paper and I would help us make more proegress if I did that, rather then writing the paper.
  I think writing is a necessity and everyone should be able to write an adaquate paper. Everything a person does will cause them to write something this day in age. Especially with the internet and e-mails. Although it isn’t a piece of paper it is still a form of communication and I think that writing shows a lot about a person. I think that as the years go by I will make more progress in my writing and I will learn many different writing styles since everyone you meet will have a different style.
