I am Kayde Osborn; I’m from St. Joseph, Missouri but I have grown up in the small town of Savannah, Missouri. I have had a lot of experience with reading and writing throughout school. I like to write, I enjoy being able to spill my thoughts on to a piece of paper instead of talking. Reading does not excite me one bit. In high school I would sink as low as I could in my desk hoping my teacher wouldn’t call on me to read out loud. However I like to read to myself, I love real life stories. My favorite book so far is “Dear John.” I would like my classmates to know my first draft is my shittiest. My writing strengths happen to be that I...I really don’t know but I’m really good at comprehending what I read, most of the time. I sometimes don’t have the patients to read. These practices excite me because I have improved in reading and writing in English 100 and I know I will improve even further after this semester.
Hi Kayde,
ReplyDeleteWelcome back. I'm happy that you have chosen to enroll with me once again.
Why would you say that the first draft is "shitty?" I know that the article we read last semester may have put you at ease since everyone writes "Shitty First Drafts." From working with you last semester, I think that you just need a gentle push toward the written assignment -- at least to get you thinking about what you want to write about.
I hope that you will enjoy the books this semester. They offer a different perspective that you may not be familiar with.
