Free style on writing

English was never my strong subject. I am the student who always excelled at math instead. However, I do like to write for myself and I have been known to keep a journal every so often. Grammar is where I seem to struggle the most in English because there are so many different rules and exceptions to the rules. Hopefully this class will help me perfect my grammar and really concrete the grammar rules that I have learned before.

Research papers can also be interesting to do because you learn so much while you are researching. It also helps to retain the information you are reading by putting it into your own words even though that can be difficult at times.

At the work place, the only writing that I do is emailing my district manager. I am an Assistant manager at a retail store and that is the most common way we communicate to one another outside the store. The major way I communicate with my management team is orally. Otherwise we will write informal notes to one another. Communicating through email with my district manager is also very informal, but I would like show him through my writing that I am more professional. I think that even though it is informal, my writing style could still make a statement about me and could make me look better in the long run.
