Master of Arts in Cultural Studies, UWB, 2011
I'm most interested in writing critical analyses.
"This paper is in the late stages of a rough draft." A rough draft? But I worked so hard on it!
"Please consult website for tips to improve prose." That's it. I quit!
Upon entering UW Bothell after earning my AIS degree at Cascadia Community College, I already considered myself a strong writer, ready to tackle the new challenges that awaited me. I've never been one for writing "rough drafts" of papers, opting instead to write the best version I can first and foremost. The comments above were from a returned paper during my first year at UW Bothell in which I followed my "no rough draft" idea, which pretty much blew up in my face. After that, I knew I had to take my writing to a whole new level in order to succeed.
Even as a senior, my favorite part of writing is the same as it was back in elementary school— finishing. Knowing that I've done the best I can in making my arguments clear and concise, as well as interesting and thought provoking.
