A Little About Me

Hello,
My name is Adrianna Stephens. I am 19 years old from Long Island, NY. a sophomore at George Mason University majoring in Mathematics with an Actuarial concentration and a minor in business and psychology. I am very outgoing, friendly, ready to learn, motivated, talented young lady. I love problem solving and figuring out answers to any situation. I am always eager to learn and want to be the best I can me.
When thinking about writing, some people freak out and get nervous or scared. I on the other hand do not mind it. I might sometimes put it off or start over a couple of times because I don’t quite know exactly what to write or how to start. If anything the hardest part of writing is where to start. I sometimes find myself just writing whatever comes to mind and then going back at the end to rewrite or fix my introduction. When it comes to writing I love to express feelings. I have found out that when I write about things that mean a lot to me or something that I can personally relate to my writing is a lot better. I feel as if I am a very strong writer, decent grammar and punctuation; however, I am bad with spelling.
I have learned many different tactics used for writing throughout school. I think my greatest experience I’ve had with writing was during my freshmen year in English 100. We learned numerous ways to fix, better, and make the most of our writing pieces. We were asked to write about anything we wanted or that came to mind once a week for at least four hours. Each week we learned another technique that would better the piece we would write. When writing we were to use that technique and any other techniques from previous weeks. At the end of the semester we put together a portfolio and had to revise a number of pieces.
My best piece seemed to have been a very personal piece. The piece was very emotional, touching and composed of great detail. This piece was about my experience of losing my best friend in a motorcycle accident. I had never really talked o anyone about it before. I used to keep my feelings about the situation to myself and it was breaking me down. When given the opportunity to write a personal piece I felt that would be a start to letting some of my emotions out.
I never really thought about how I am as a writer, but I would have to say it all depends on what it is that I am writing. I think that I am stronger in different types of writing. I like research papers and personal papers, where I can write about what I want. Like a lot of people I plan to continue to prove my writing as much as possible. As much as I would like to say that I am an excellent writer it I know that I’m not and there is always space and time for improvement.
