Favorite Writing Experience
One piece that Ive written that I feel was very important to me is called the Whole Life
Concept Report, which is a paper that I had to write for a grade in my ENGR 1201 class last
semester. What made this paper important was that I had to write basically about my entire life,
past, present and future, focusing on my passion for deciding to go to engineering school. I had
to describe my influences from family, acquaintances, and school out of my past. There needed
to be a good explanation on why I want to be an engineer and what I plan to do in this field
during and after school. In going about writing this piece, I had to think very deeply about my
inner passion for engineering and discuss what I want to do with it. I had to extract childhood
memories and memories growing up to explain how I became influenced to being an engineer.
My main influence was definitely my family. My father and most of my aunts and uncles are
engineers and some of them have some pretty cool jobs, so this certainly had an impact on me.
Also, Ive naturally been quite good at math and science so that was another plus for wanting to
become an engineer, because those two subjects are the main focus in this field. Overall, writing
this paper was very difficult and it took a lot of thought to process into words. I feel like I could
have done better on the paper too, because the feedback I received from it wasnt all that great,
but if I could write it again and for a grade I would have definitely put more thought and research
into it to make it better.
