...identifying three challenges that might arise when writing a paper. Write a second paragraph of at least 200 words explaining the strategies you will use to overcome those challenges. Some people may face many challenges that may arise when writing a paper. Three challenges I believe a writer may face are writing anxiety, not knowing where to begin, and making your writing flow. Many people may face writers anxiety. I personally have this issue. This challenges may occur when a writer is adjusting to a new form of writing, limited time, or dealing with stresses at home, not related to school. Not knowing where to begin when writing is another challenge. After he or she gathers sources, the challenge may arise on where to begin on their paper. Some begin with the introduction, others may begin with a conclusion. I believe it all depends on the topic. Sometimes certain topics will be easy to gather, and organize to begin a well written paper. Others however, may be a task. Last, a challenge may be making your writing flow. A writer may lose focus on specific area’s such as attention and detail. This problem can occur from no organization between the sentences or the paragraphs. No organization, or flow may lose the attention of your readers, causing your work to be boring and or confusing. Facing these challenges, I would consider some time and effort. There are way’s to overcome the challenges we face when writing. In the paragraph before...

... When writing a research paper, there can be some challenges to overcome. My first thought is what challenge do I have and need to overcome in order to write a great paper. The first challenge is keeping the readers interest and attention. It is very important to keep your readers interested in your writings and it can be hard trying to read something that you are unable to keep your attention on. Keeping the information of my writings to the research and subject will help this challenge. Another challenge can be determining an appropriate style and tone for my paper. Being consistent with my ideas in my style and tone, will keep the paper flowing with information and the reader will be able to understand the point I am trying to make. The third challenge is being persuasive enough in my writings and research papers. Also, being able to put my thinking and research into words and get my point across, but also integrate enough material from my sources to keep the paper persuasive and catch the reader’s attention will provide the needed steps to a great research paper. When writing my research papers, the strategies I want to utilize for my challenges are: finding an interesting subject to do my research on, and utilize as much information I can to write an interesting paper. By using as many resources I can, will insure that I have plenty of information to include in my paper. The next strategy is making sure I have the appropriate style and tone for my paper. I...

...Yessenia Amaya My approach to writing I have many goals for my English course, and one of those goals is to get into the habit of writing more. By getting into the habit of writing more I am going to accomplish my second goal which is to fix my spelling and grammar. For example learn where to put my commas and periods and learn how to spell words I don’t really use. Another major goal I have for this course is to learn how to target my audience, learn who my audience is and write to the appeal of that audience. My final goal and the most important goal I have for this course is to get an A+. My plan is to try and hand in everything on time and not miss a class. I hope I can accomplish these goals. I also always set up goals when writing an academic paper. For example, I try and get the least grammar spelling errors as possible. I also set goals to finish my papers a paper a certain time so I have time to proofread and revise my paper. And the most important goal I set when I write is to hand in my paper on time. With these goals I hope to get a better grade. I have many challenges when I write. My biggest challenges when writing for others is trying not to have many grammars and spelling errors, but I always do. Another challenge I have is that I don’t know if I’m getting through to my audience or not. I’m also always concerned if I’m giving enough information to the person I’m writing to, in other words being informative. And my biggest challenge might be that the...

...Graduate Study Challenges and Strategies for Success Twenty one years ago I started my nursing profession, which I do not regret any minute of it. Today I found myself back to college embarking a new journey pursuing MSN degree with much excitement and many challenges. In order to be successful in graduate study, I have to come up with strategies to overcome the anticipated challenges. The three main obstacles I face that would affect my study are writing, time management, and stress. Reason Health care industry has been evolved immensely over the past 10 to 15 years. When I graduated as a nurse 18 years ago, regular diploma or bachelor’s degree was what required. Health care professionals could advance career with clinical experiences. It is so different in our field now. The minimal requirement for higher managerial position is master’s degree. It requires not only the clinical skill and experience but also the management knowledge. I have great passion in my profession. I want to enrich my skill sets and qualification so that I can better prepare myself to serve the public and to move upward in my career ladder. Short-term Goal Within the first month I will familiarize myself with available resources in OLS and maximally use what the university can provide me to flourish my learning experience. Milestone.

...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...

Writing a college paper or any type of writing has never been a strong point for me. Here are a few challenges I will face in the next 9 weeks. One serious challenge is procrastination. I recently learned that people will be slow to complete things, they truly don’t enjoy doing. English has never been my favorite subject and my writing skills, to me leaves much to be desired. This negative thinking, which is challenge number two for me does not provide me with a great learning environment. The last challenge for me would be trying to exceed my own expectations. I strive to be the best at everything that I do. As for back as I can remember English and Math have always been very tough for me. If I don’t envision a great paper there won’t be one. Let me present my challenges; procrastination, negative thinking, and over achievement. I know that only one of these items was cover this week in our studies, but this was my honest answer. When I re-read my top paragraph I realized that sometimes I can be my own worst critic. Getting my education is extremely important to me.

...Graduate Study: Challenges and Strategies for Personal Success Considering the pursuit of a graduate level education is a decision that should be well thought out. Success, whether academic or professional, is something desired by everyone at some point in life. It is important to decide carefully what goals one wants to accomplish and how a graduate degree will help. Once the goals are set, and the decision is made to go back to school, additional research and careful consideration is given in deciding what type of program to attend. There are basic considerations, including program and cost, but the future student should also consider that not all programs are created equal. Graduate study programs often have different objectives and focus (Kuther, PhD, 2013). It is the responsibility of the individual to ensure that the program of choice matches his or her desired learning preferences. I knew I wanted to be a nurse from the time I started college, and it did not take long working in the field to determine that I was meant for health care management. My BSN and management ability has enabled me to work my way up to a senior management position, as the Chief Nursing Officer, at a rural hospital. I believe that by obtaining the MSN/MHA dual degree, doors will continue to open in health care administration. For this reason, I have found my way back to school and I am a proud virtual student at University of Phoenix (UOPX). Through my life journey...

Schlemper, 2011). Finding balance with time management and stress management can be a challenge within itself.

...Writing Challenges Deron Davis CM220 July 21, 2015 Professor Emily Hartsfield Writing Challenges Three aspects of writing that have been difficult for in the past that I wish to improve on are grammar, style and process. When it comes to grammar I often find myself writing in the same manner in which I speak and that might not be appealing or accepted by certain audiences especially in the workplace. There are several ways in which I plan on going about working on these issues. The first plan is to first consider my audience and what type of presentation I will be making. Once I am able to identify my audience and topic more properly I will be able to better choose my writing style to fit the needs. For instance I need to also know if I am attempting to persuade the audience on my topic, describing a situation to them or just giving them a broad narration on the topic. By both identifying my audience and writing style this will help me to go about my thought process in a better way as well. A problem that I would like to solve in my community is the lack of after school recreational centers for teenagers. Some of the challenges that might arise for solving this problem is getting enough parents to back you up and commit to sending their children to the center on a regular basis. Another challenge would be getting the kids to come and keeping their interest in the different topics. I would approach this topic by first presenting all of the facts and the needs...

...Reflection of WP1 I would like to say I enjoy the process of writing this paper. After this writing project, I felt that I learned a lot of techniques and skills throughout this entire paper. First and foremost, I have learned to generate ideas by using outline and freewriting. After the freewriting I can organised my ideas well and understand what I would like to talk about in my piece of writing. I realised that this is a very effective way to start a paper. Moreover, peer review was very helpful for my writing project. I received some feedback and comments from my classmate during the peer review activity. I think those comments are very useful for me to improve and do some correction for my writing. On the other hand, read and give comments...

...There are many challenges that might arise when writing an academic paper. One of them is writers block. This is when a writer loses the ability to continue working on a paper. Writers block can last for five minutes, or five hours. Writers block happens to me all of the time when I am writing a paper. This is also common in many college students. Another problem that may arise is not enough time to finish or write a paper. This can happen when trying to juggle a hectic lifestyle. Working more than one job, taking care of children, and managing a relationship can take up most of your time. Making sure work is done on time is priority. Distractions are another problem that may occur when writing. There are many kinds of distractions, sound, and visual. Children are my number one interference when I am writing or doing school work. The TV and radio are also distractions that may make me lose focus on an assignment. Distractions are a big problem in my house, but I try to avoid them as much as possible. These are a few problems that may occur when writing a paper for school. Where ever there is a challenge there is a way to overcome them. When I have writers block I take a break to clear my mind. Taking a walk or listening to some soft music helps to relieve the stress. Brainstorming is another thing that I do to get new ideas in my head to write about. After clearing my mind I can get back to writing my paper. Time management is a way to make sure that everything gets done on...

...My favorite aspect of the AP English language course is that it is more like a self-paced course: during the learning part, the teacher tells us his schedule, while the students can learn the knowledge in the corresponding chapter as fast as one wishes and read any of the supplement at the end of the book; during the reviewing part, the teacher hands out reviewing materials while the students can choose what to do and when to do them; during the literature part, students can either read the entire book ahead or follow up the minimum reading speed during the class. In group discussions, for example when discussing MCQs, I always lead the discussions in my group as the senior students in my group tend to be quiet in discussions. Besides, whenever...

...obstacles and challenges that are not easy to overcome. However, Michael Jordan once said, “If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I've had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.” In my life, I have always struggled trying to read and write. I was never really the best at reading or even comprehension. When writing I would always stray off topic and not even answer the prompt. Because of these obstacles, I had to work hard to overcome them achieve success. In fifth grade I was one of the brightest and most advanced students in math. However, I never really focused on English Language Arts, as I was so enthralled with math. One day, my teacher put up a prompt asking about my Thanksgiving experience. When I had raised my hand to...
