I struggled with
writing through the first couple years of my college experience. I remember one
day I had a roommate of mine proof read an essay for me. His first statement
after reading my paper was; "you don't read much, do you?" At first I
was taken aback, but now I know that it was the most important thing for me to hear. Since then, I have pushed myself to read as much as possible and through that I
have become a much better writer.
I feel that working at the Writing
Center will give me an opportunity to help others find their own "writer
within" and also to find a love for reading and writing in general.
As a senior in the IAS program with a focus in Global Studies I have come
to find that writing plays an integral role in success and fulfillment across
all facets of life.
