Who would have thought that as I am getting ready in the
morning my decision of what I am going to wear would have such an impact on
what other will think of me. It is
already hard enough just deciding what to wear.
In truth it is something we all do, I know I do it? Or is it just me? Thank goodness it’s got a name, “observation”. I can
no longer be accused of judging others; I do love to observe others not because
I try to judge their hair, clothes, or style of clothing. I do it because I believe you can tell a lot
about people in the way they carry themselves.
I have learned to come out more out of my shell and observing someone helps
me decide if the person what’s to be approached or would like to be left alone.
I took a class at SBCC and we had a lot of writing to do, I
did a paper on a problem that faces our community, alcohol. I was
actually proud of my paper, until I got a C- on it. With a message scribbled in the corner
stating that my writing was not profession written. I remember reading it over again, well maybe a couple of times and I still did not see what he was saying.
Reading Backpacks vs. Briefcases made me think about that
paper I wrote, and I have come to the conclusion that yes, my paper was written crappy (
can I say that?). I may have had an Exigence, but who was my audience? What language
did I use? Who was I trying to address? Was I just babbling? Thinking back I don’t believe I even
had a Constraint. I feel that reading
this chapter will help me become more organize on my writing. It will allow me to question myself as I am
writing and making sure that I am focusing on the issue, audience and
facts. I may surprise you and at the end
of this class my writing might be done in a more professional style. Woah... hold up Leonor lets start with baby steps.
