Writing Goals and Aspirations (freewrite, 10 minutes)

I know that I am not that great of a writer and I hope that this class will help me improve. Learning English as a second language was hard and even though I consider myself fluent in English and Spanish, there is s till a lot for me to learn. I want to be able to write papers more efficiently. Many times when I have to write a paper I feel like I am forced to do something I don’t want to. I want to be able to write a paper and enjoy the experience. As an engineer student I have to write lots of lab reports. I am hoping that English 302 will help me develop appropriate skills to write technical papers such as lab reports. Interms of my future career goals I want to be eable to communicate efficiently and professionally. I don’t want to be the guy who has a degree but he does not know how to write a simple report or worst yet a proper email. I know for a facts that most employers always seek individuals with good writing and verbal communication skills. Hopefully English 302 will help polish my skills to a decent level of writing competency. Personally I jjust want to be a better writer overall. English has always been the class I struggle with more. I don’t want to struggle with writing papers anymore.
