Honestly, I am just taking this class because it is mandatory for undergraduate degrees. However, there are many skills I would like to obtain from Engl1101.
Grammar is one of the things I am very nit-picky about. I correct everyone at any time, so I do not think I need to work on that anymore than I have. Spelling is another one of my "areas of interest." In fact, I moved to the United States in 1997 without a word of English. A year later (at seven years old), I could already spell words such as acknowledgment. I rarely make spelling mistakes and therefor, I do not think I need to work on that any more than I already have in years passed.
I am capable of writing well, but I really don't enjoy it. Maybe after taking this class, I will be able to write more quickly and efficiently, and maybe even learn to enjoy writing. Seeing as how I have thirteen years left of schooling before I enter my work environment, I must find ways to make writing enjoyable. Mostly, I have to learn to write well with as little mistakes as possible.
All in all, I hope this class won't take too much of my time and won't stress me out, but I also wish to obtain important knowledge about writing skills that I may use in future endeavors.

wow, well when you started off you was a little arrogant, but ease up i am sure if you are already as good as you think you are there isn't a reason a little more practice couldn't hurt. I am sure this class will come in handy for all of us in the near future, and who knows maybe you will find your nitch to like it from there.
