While growing up and taking many classes that required essays I have realized that having the length requirement met does not mean that it is to the best of my ability. That with more writing assignments and classes gave me a better understanding about what kind of writer I really am. As a writer in college my writings have become better due to self-improvement.

Coming into my freshman year of college writing, I did not know what to expect. I was never a terrible writer, but knew I could always improve.
