Writing Fail

          They either say your good at science and suck at English, or your good at English and suck at science. So on the subject, there are too kinds of people. My relationship to writing has been the first. I'm wonderful at science, I am rational and anti-social like all of the science nerds. So writing has always been a struggle for me. My papers have always come back with pages full of red marker. My teachers have always pointed out that I am not good at analyzing, because to me, something is because it is. I also have a hard time putting my thoughts into sentences that not only make sense, but also sound remotely intelligent. My process for writing an essay starts with all the points I want to make, and then facts to support that data. Once I have that on the document, I try my best to make it flow and make conclusions and an overall grammatically correct essay. Then I try and wait a few days, and go back to re-read what I had wrote and figure out what makes sense and what doesn't. My sophomore English teacher told us to read the essay one sentence at a time backwards, and that usually helps me figure out the best possible way I could write that sentence. But I do understand that I'm not done writing essays or reports or grants or complaints or reviews. Writing will be a part of my everyday life, so I am thankful that through the 12 years of English classes, I have finally gotten somewhat of my blabbering under control. But that being said, science is awesome.
