Writing Process

My writing process includes two steps from the Behrens' writing process. It usually just includes stage four and six. I seem to just start writing. Once I am done, I just check my grammar and punctuation. My writing process is similar because I use two steps. It is different because I am not using four of the essential steps to Behrens' writing process. I think all the steps are important. After reading this chapter I understand why I have struggled on papers in the past. Each one of these steps guides you in the right direction to turn in a great paper. The invention and drafting are the easiest steps for me. Gathering data is the most difficult for me. I usually have a difficult time finding the data and especially when I try to list my sources. I spend the most time gathering the data and drafting. I spend the least amount of my time understanding the task and invention. After reading this chapter and reviewing these steps today, I have now wanted to change my process of changing. I think this has helped me with a new aspect of my writing ability.

My Legacy

I would want to leave a legacy so I am not forgotten after only two generations. Even though I never met any of my great-grandparents I still know many things about each one of them. I would want my great-grandchildren to be able to do the same. I am currently trying to live a life which will set an example for my nieces and nephews. I have six young nieces and nephews who look up to me and I would not want any of them to make some of the mistakes that I have. I have now started college as a freshman again to show them that education is an important asset to have in your life. This is something I would want to make sure that people remember about me. Education has always been like a hobby for me. I also like to stay organized and love to spend my free time shopping for new items to stay organized. My husband still laughs because I spend my free time going through bills and organizing paper work. These are the two main things that describe me at my current point in life. I hope my education and organizational skills will allow me to accomplish the rest of the dreams that I have in life. I want to buy a house, raise a family, and have a career in the accounting field. These are the things that I want to be remembered for. I want to be remembered as a hard worker who never gave up, and accomplished all of her goals and dreams in life.
