Writing

Writing has never been one of my strong points, but I consider it a necessity to succeed in a business world. As every day operation involve a memo or a simple e-mail it is important to communicate the message through writing. I have taken two college level English courses. I enjoyed my second English class which was mainly about a research paper because I cared about the subject of my research paper. The research paper was about 90 percent of our grade and my research paper was about, Dogs and The Community. Growing up as a child I have always had a minor phobia towards dogs and since I live in a more rural community where people tend to let their dogs roam and create havoc around their neighborhood. I found it interesting to write about this subject because of my personal problem and to explain that we do have a problem and it does need to be addressed. Bad dog owners create hostile communities and unfriendly pedestrian zones. At the end of the twelve page research paper I had learned a lot and the moral of my paper was that one should not blame the wrong end of the leash. There was also several dog incidents reported in the local newspaper where people were being bitten, including innocent children, which triggered me to write a summary of my research paper and mention ways that those accidents could have been prevented. As all dog incidents are preventable with the proper dog training and proper safeguarding. This was probably one my best papers to date and hope to get many more.

I also work in property management company where we have to constantly write letters to tenants informing them on issues with their properties, inspections or events happening with our company. I have some technical writing under my belt, but I hope to acquire more with this class.
