My goal for this course is to gain means to improve my writing skills on my daily life this can apply for both my personal and professional life . I am planning to exercise my writings on my academic career, my professional environment and my personal life. I expect to use writing in my university career in many different ways, for example to write journals, assignments, research papers and all required academic writing throughout my university life. I expect to use writing in my professional career by writing business journals, reports, customer service e-mails and all necessary writings related to my job and I also expect to use writing in my personal life by writing personal letters, personal memo and personal emails.

I set goals for my academic paper by following the essential steps required to have a complete writing. I start by generating ideas about my topic and see how far can I go with my current idea and modify it to fit into my writing method, then I relate my ideas to a specific assignment and I conduct research on my idea and make sure that i stick with the idea and organize my idea to make sure that I can still keep it or if it needs to be changed, then I make the initial draft and write it on a paragraph form and finally I revise my draft and write the final format.

My biggest challenges when writing for others is to know their interest and write in a flow that will keep the reader interested and involved so that they finish reading what i wrote with full interest and excitement and understand the full extent of the message that i wanted to pass on by making sure what i wrote is coherent and
