Challenges are quite common when deciding what to write and can possibly discourage a person all together from writing a complete essay. Many challenges come to mind when writing an assignment, one that comes to mind for me is the topic sentence. Often I find myself trying to pick the perfect topic sentence to write about, sometimes I feel it would be easier if I was asked to elaborate on a pre-decided topic. However; we as students are encouraged to express our own opinions in our writing. Another challenge that comes to mind is the ability to fully understand the topic I am asked to discuss, not knowing enough about a topic may be a disadvantage considering because more research will be required so that I can present enough viable information to get my point across. Lastly, another challenge that I think of is to understand the tone and audience of my written paper. It is very important to consider who I am addressing through my writing. I feel that I need to be careful with the words I choose as well as the tone I take with the type of essay that is being written.

There are also many challenges that I must overcome to allow myself to write a well-educated essay. For example, a challenge that I seem to not have so much trouble with, but should be acknowledged is procrastination. Throughout the course of the week leading up to the due date of assignments, I allow myself plenty of time to research as well as write a rough draft. This always allows me the ability to deal with less stress whenever an important assignment is due. Occasionally, unexpected circumstances arise when I may be crunched to do more work in less time, so to avoid this I always try to work ahead to make sure that I know about what I should be writing about so I can at least gather an opinion and think about what I actually want to discuss in my writing. The last thing I prefer to do before
