Growing up, I have always envisioned myself as a writer. I have no
idea what inspired me to even consider a profession that involved writing.
Needless to say, that dream died along with my many other improbable ambitions.
I was never the typical high achieving student, in fact I was so average that
my parents decided to leave me alone and focus on my more 'intelligent'
siblings. When I try to recall my primary or secondary school days, I am filled
with memories of mischief and have very little recollection of learning
English. Even now, I have no idea what was being taught back then during
English lessons. I can safely say that my foundation in English is
rather shaky and the only reason I managed to survive all these years is
because of my deep and profound love for reading. Of course, I am not
suggesting that reading alone can help improve anyone’s English but reading
coupled with journaling helped me tremendously in my pre-university days.
I started journaling in primary school and have continued to do so
till today. It started out as an outlet to vent and express my deepest
thoughts, and has evolved into a means of preserving a piece of me for my
future generations to discover. This so called passion for reading and writing
has led me to embrace the idea of taking up ES1102. In fact I am looking
forward to improving my writing through this module. Unlike my earlier days, I
intend to pay closer attention in class and solidify my foundation in English
writing.
