New Found Creativity

An Exciting Challenge

Before I came to DU, my writing process was a mess.

It was like an unorganized desk that seemed impossible to clean.

I felt like I was buried underneath all of my work, unable to escape.

Writing was something that I dreaded and never wanted to do.

Rather than focusing on my writing I spent most of my time working on biology.
I was a self-proclaimed science nerd and didn't want to branch out.

I learned how to perfect a lab report, but I did not feel comfortable in any other genres of writing.

Biology was all that I knew

All of my classes adhered to the typical writing format, thus I did not branch out too much.
Science was what I felt safe with, and I was okay putting all of my focus into it.

Since being at DU, however, I have branched out.
I have enjoyed learning and writing more than I ever have before.

Sociology is my new biology, and I am so excited about it.

Despite the fact that I love sociology, I don't allow it to consume all of my attention.

Instead, I use it to help me with my other subjects.
I use the concepts that I learn in sociology for my other classes, such as Writing.
Writing used to be something that I dreaded, but now it is one of my favorite classes.

I wrote my first paper in an article format, and had a lot of fun while doing it.
I never thought that I could branch out beyond what I was used to, but now I know that I can.
With every new type of assignment, both my interest and confidence in writing increase.

I finally feel inspired to take on a variety of assignments that involve creativity and ingenuity.
Rather than seeing writing as impossible, I see it as an exciting challenge.

My desk is finally clear, and I have more confidence in my skills as a writer.

Rather than feeling overwhelmed by writing assignments, I know that I can tackle them.
I have come to enjoy writing, and look forward to expanding my knowledge with every new assignment.
