Great Expectations

Throughout my life, I have never been one to enjoy writing, though I have grown to discover the importance of writing and realized the impact that it can have, both upon the reading audience, and more surprisingly, the author. Through written work lives can be changed, opinions conveyed, and voices heard. This is why I desire to acquire a love for writing and to become a more proficient author.
In this class I expect to be challenged and, therefore, to be stretched for optimum growth. By the end of this semester I expect to be able to investigate others’ works, learning and applying what I can from them, and also to be able to express myself more effectively. I expect to persuade through my writing, inform, and experiment. I hope to acquire the ability to vividly describe, distinctly convey, and genuinely portray my emotions and feelings in such a way that the reader understands the very depths of how my heart and mind feel. Through my work I want to send definite messages to my reading audience.
While acquiring talent and a love for writing, I also expect to improve my efficiency. Speed, accuracy, and methods must all be improved. I tend to take unreasonably large amounts of time on my written work, and this proves to be a problem with the full schedule that I always seem to attain. By the end of this semester I expect all of this to change for the better.
In conclusion, I do not enjoy writing, but I accept the fact that it is very important, and because of this I want to acquire both proficient skills and the ability to execute them in a timely fashion. By the end of this semester I expect to be able to captivate, persuade, and inform my audience. These are my great expectations.
