My Writing Struggles

Writing assignments were never one of my strong points. However, I have approved a lot since freshman year. Freshman year mainly introduced writing assignments because we never did that many in middle school. I struggle with introduction and conclusion paragraphs. I find it hard to introduce your topic in more than one sentence. Then trying to wrap everything up in a conclusion paragraph without sounding repetitive is difficult. I also struggle and become frustrated with length expectations of the paper. I hate how we have to make it a certain length because I make my paper factual and to the point. If I try to make it more lengthy it tends to sound too wordy and repetitive. Either way I get a bad grade for it being too short or to repetitive. Don't get me wrong I love writing down my thoughts and feelings but when people critize my work I just don't have the will power to do it any more. If your critized on something all the time why would anybody want to do it? This is why I struggle with writing assignments.
