Name: Faith Morales

Intended Major: Architecture

Preferred Pronouns: She/Her

Upon reading the course syllabus and Composition as a Write of Passage, I now understood how important this course will be. As an architecture student, I was able to identify with Godwin Erekaife in that I did not realize the purpose of taking this course and how it would benefit my professional life. Yet, I now know how crucial Freshman Composition would be for the development of my career. I am excited to broaden my writing skills for the sake of communicating with others.

During my high school years, I constantly doubted myself and my ability to write. I found it difficult to develop the story I was trying to tell. When I would write papers for school, assignments would be challenging because the ideas I had were difficult for me to portray on paper. To this day, I still struggle with organizing my thoughts onto paper and I am most afraid my obstacle would be shown throughout the duration of the course.

While reading Composition as a Write of Passage, one of the key points she mentioned she learned from her Freshman Composition course was the ability to recognize your audience when writing. As my knowledge of writing grew, I was able to adapt to my circumstances and efficiently write for my audience. Adapting has become my strength when writing and I believe it could be an extremely important factor for anybody’s work.

I am excited to learn more and improve my skills as a writer. As a future architect, I know communication will be key during my career. My ability to communicate with various clients and being able to acknowledge their choice of language will be crucial for the success of my business. I understand a good writer is capable of recognizing their objective and including various aspects to make their work as exceptional as possible. I am excited to learn and expand my knowledge of writing in order to benefit myself and my future.
