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.

My Hero

My hero would be my grandpa, Soloman Abas. He is an extraordinary person. He grew up in Amsterdam and witnessed the Holocaust, many of his family members died during that time. Once he was in his twenties he moved to America to pursue a career as a medical doctor specializing in radiology. He is my hero in that way because going to America and getting a job in the medical field is a lot of work and i respect him for that. It must have been really hard for him, especially knowing no English when he came here to America. One day I would like to follow in his foot steps and become a medical doctor myself, but possibly in emergency medicine.
