Personal
Narrative Essay
I
never believed in fate and always had a firm belief that the fate is favorable
to one who dares to work towards it. This belief got stronger when I read the
popular saying in my school, that “If you never have a dream, you’ll never have
a dream come true.” I always agreed that people who work towards their goal are
the ones who truly deserve it. I was always interested in going for the geology
or oil and gas lines. Most of my cousins are geologists, mud logging, and oil field
men and this is the reason that I chose the geology line and landed myself in Saint Norbert College. However, coming from the Middle
East, English was the only genre where I needed to work hard. Thus, I enrolled
myself for the college writing course, to hone my English writing skills, as
English is a crucial language in the professional world of geology.
I was little sceptical in the beginning regarding my ability to
grasp this subject and to be able to find success. But I am very grateful to my
professor, Jana Dettlaff, who helped me to see the
subject from a different perspective. It was because of her guidance and
support that I was able to accomplish my dream of learning this English art of
writing. She guided us through the course and was always ready to give
suggestion and valuable guidance to achieve success in this journey. With her
this course became a fun experience and started enjoying the writing process.
I
learned many valuable tips of writing, which earlier I was not aware about.
Previously, I would be casual about my writing and didn’t have the knack of
turning in a professional paper. For example, I never knew the importance of writing
a thesis. Further, the right way to collaborate a topic sentence, was a new
skill to me. All this are the concept which I was able to learn in this course
and developed the professional writing skill in this semester. I am sure these
will be of immense help in my future writing projects.
Now that I am on the verge of
finishing this semester, I see myself well acquainted with the process of
professional writing. I have learned the way to brain storm ideas about writing
a piece and the way to make it a success with the help of editing and proof
reading. However, these learning process would not have been possible if I
would not have made courage to come to US, and get admittance in this English
course at Saint Norbert College. Going by my
experience, I would say the only hitch between a desire and accomplishing the
same is dreaming big about it. When we dream about our goals, we set a course
of path through which we accomplish our goals. If one doesn’t dream with a
conscious mind, he or she will reach nowhere around the same. Hence, dreaming
big in the first place is the first step towards accomplishing one’s goal in
life.
