Reflection

            Over the semester I have written in many different styles from week to week, which was different. Throughout high school I usually just wrote a typical five paragraph essay, but instead we wrote things like arguments, proposals, movie reviews, and many other types of writing. I really liked writing in different styles because after awhile writing the same way can get boring. The other good thing was that my writing would be posted to my blogpost, which kind of made me more aware of my writing because I was writing in a place were the world can see. When I looked back at my blogs and saw grammatical or spelling errors I was kind of embarrassed knowing so many people can see it. Thanks to the different styles I wrote in I will be better prepared for future jobs or in future classes.

            There are a variety of reasons why the writing I have done this semester will help in the future and one of those reasons is that “employers’ biggest complaint is the unclear writing produced by their new hires” (WITW 60). Since I already know how to write in different styles and know how to write for the public employer will have no issues with me. I probably have a higher chance of getting employed or being praised for the work that I will be able to write or present. My work would be clear and employer would not be confused on what I am writing about due to the fact that I have done it before. The same frustration that employers can feel professor can feel the same way. If a professor asked for a specific style of writing and a student doesn’t know how to do or does it wrong they are already behind the curve. Since I have written in all these different style I will be ready for anything and a little ahead of the other students or other people trying to get a job.

            It is clear that the writing assignment over the semester have only been beneficial and very helpful. Now that I have written in different styles I can expand my writing and don’t have to limit myself. My writing has definitely improved in multiple ways and I am glad that I was able to write and learn different styles. Overall the semester went well and was very effective with helping students be prepared for the future.
