I think that one of my strengths in writing is writing with an authentic voice. I think maybe the topic I wrote about is the reason why this is a strength of mine. Because my attention is so divided when I’m writing and I have trouble focusing on just that one thing I’m trying to do, I care less about what gets out on the page, in the sense that, I do’t waste time trying to sound intelligent or use big words. I use whatever words come into my head and write just like how I would talk to another human being.<\/p>\n
As far as a writing challenge for me, community relevance in definitely something I struggle with when writing, and not just for a personalized assignment like This I Believe but even in high school when writing essays. I was constantly told by my teachers that there were sentences in my essays that didn’t need to be there, or I would have the words “so what” written next to a point I made.
\nI’ll try to remedy this moving forward in my species profile, Thinking about a way\/ways that I can spark a bit of interest from people about this animal.
\nThis was something that my peers commented on as well. “[Y]ou don\u2019t draw a direct connection to the community and tell us why we should care even though there is definitely [a reason] there.” (Elliott, 2018)
\nMy animal is a wasp, so it will be hard to get people to care, but if I can get them interested or see how they can be important to their ecosystems and affect the readers, then it will be easier for them to feel like it’s relevant and not just a random animal they know nothing about and don’t want to know anything about.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
