Autobiography of a Writer

I believe that I am a very poor writer. As it might be obvious from my blogs post, my writing is full of grammar mistakes, spelling errors and just not really creative in general. There are many reasons that have led me to become a poor writer. First of all English is my second language. Secondly, I never really liked writing too much though I know is necessary so I give it my best so that it is not horrible either. Finally my handwriting is really bad and I type very slowly, both of these discourage me from writing to often except when necessary.

Spanish is my first language and there a few differences in terms of the grammar structure between the two. I know Spanish very well in terns of speaking it but my grammar is not great either. I came to the United States when I was eleven. I was just beginning to learn to write with more complexity in Spanish when I stared to learn how to write and speak in English. I think this greatly affected my writing abilities both in English and Spanish.

That fact that I don’t enjoy writing very much, I think is a direct side effect of my typing and handwriting abilities. No matter how hard I have tried my handwriting does not seem to improve. I just hate when I look at the messy notes I have created after and important lecture. Secondly my typing skills are not too bad but not grade either. I tend to mostly use my right hand when typing and I mostly use only four fingers instead of using all ten. I am hoping to somehow improve both my typing and hand writing skills.

I am well aware of the importance of being an able writer. I am soon to be a professional and I really to not want to go into the real world being a poor writer. I am hoping than English 302 takes me a step closer to becoming a better writer.
