Groups

I have always been a big fan of group work. When I work on things alone I often get so overwhelmed, stressed, and anxious. In a group the work can be divided and thus is not as over bearing. A lot of people complain that in groups someone always ends up doing all the work but what I have found is that there is often someone who slacks off but there are enough people that the work gets done. Also with groups it allows for some socialization which is always nice.

Previous Writing Experiences

Writing has always been interesting for me. I like the challenge of putting what I am thinking into words so other people can understand. I have always considered myself a pretty good writer. I am looking forward to writing in this class although it is a different kind of writing than I have ever done. Most of my writing has dealt with analyzing stories or novels. I have written persuasive essays before but not essays that consider both sides of an argument. It will be a new challenge but I am up for it.
