I would describe myself as a writer who needs a lot of improvement in many areas. As my essay scores and feedback from past years show, I have to work on many things including developing my ideas. Writing has never been an easy task for me, especially since English is not my first language. Since the day that I stepped into kindergarten to now, writing has always been a challenge, but I am ready to improve my writing and become a better writer.

Overall, I mostly write assigned essays for a certain class and a lot of lab reports for the different science classes that I have taken. I am not the person who writes beyond the classroom other than for homework assignments because I have never found interest in it, and I can never seem to find something to write about. Whenever I attempt to write in my free time, I never find something to write about which leads me to stop because I get frustrated, and I feel as if I am being unproductive and wasting my time. When I actually seem to write something out, it sounds like gibberish so I throw it away. I always seem to have a writer’s block whenever I try to write in my free time. 

Moreover, I believe that writing is fairly important because it is a way of communication, and a way to express ideas or feelings. Additionally, every book or story begins with somebody writing it, and I really enjoy reading books. As for my most memorable experiences with writing, I have to admit that I do not have many, but one of them was probably when I got a participation certificate for participating in a short story competition. I did not win, but I had fun participating especially because I had no clue I was participating. 

To conclude, although writing has always been a difficult task for me, I am positive that I can improve and become a better writer.
