#1 Researching/Writing Goals and Aspirations

Well my goals for this semester in English 302 I hope to overall become abetter writer. I also hope to gain more knowledge about my career field. Im not use to doing research on a normal bases so in this course I am also becoming more aware of sources and where to find these sources. I am also becoming a lot quicker in determining search terms to find what I am looking for. I never thought that researching would become interesting. I guess I never did research on something that I truly love. As far as writing I hope to improve of course. In grammar with these different exercise that we have to do. I hope to sound more professional and more formal in my writing. Trying not to depend on the computer to fix my mistakes. It has become a routine to click spell check automatically. These free write exercises have really helped with that. In terms of my academic career, wiritng isn’t a big factor unless my careers goal change over the years. As of right now the most writing I want to do is filling out audition applications or once im in a company writing my biography. It is always good to have a good background and skill set in writing to call upon when you need it, but hopefully as a dancer I won’t have to do a terrible amount of writing. For myself personally I don’t want to be a statistic. I want to be an African American that writes well. When someone reads what I have written I don’t want it to be looked down upon. I want my education to be portrayed through my writing. No in my family is particularly good in the subject of English, but I don’t want to skim by barely making it. I want to be comfortable and not have to worry if people look at me differently or negatively after reading something I have written. I find English classes not the most interesting but one of the most beneficial in the long run.
