My name is Andres(he/him) and my major is Business Management and Administration.

After reviewing the syllabus I am nervous about having to write long essays. The reason that I am nervous about this is that I came from Xavier High School, where I had to write multiple 5-10 page papers but I was not always the best at this. Towards the end of my time there in my senior year I got a little better at writing them but I still have a lot of improving to do. I am most excited about being able to have more freedom over what I get to write as in high school there was only a handful of times where I got creative freedom. I feel like the qualities of good writing are to be clear and direct. One should not get too complex and not use an excess of large words. To be a good writer one has to be able to implement parts of themselves into their writing. It is important to write well because it can show who you are as a person and can open up different opportunities for yourself. The easiest part of writing to me is conveying my thoughts exactly as they come. What I do well with writing is being concise but that is something that I want to change. The hardest part of writing to me is having to match certain length requirements of essays. I feel like most of the time I get too straight to the point without building up to my main points. I feel like I need to work on giving a more in-depth context and setup. I expect myself to be writing emails and memos as currently as I intend to one day run a business. I want to work up to be in a leadership position and I want to always come across as respectful and clear as I can be. I feel like being an effective writer can open up doors for me and can bring me more success as it would be easier for me to network.
