imaginary. Referencing animals to different colors. Making up stories that the mind comes up with that

that journal writing was mandatory. High school writing became a little intense in which I showed no
interest to.
Currently, I used writing on a daily from academic writing by posting and replying Discussion Questions
to instructors or peers. Since, I started GUC in August 2019, I see myself writing more often. The last
course, PHI-105 I experience my first time writing a persuasive essay. Currently I work as a Human

employees or customers. Along with email, I write letters to potential employees of job offers or denial.
Writing will be used often in future academic settings. I am planning that as I keep moving forward that

faulty are very helpful with assisting a student to become successful.
