My Autobiography as a Writer

Honestly thinking back on how I learned to write is a huge process in itself. The years are vast and the memories , well lets face it not something that I can say are truly memorable. I have always enjoyed writing and was taught to journal at an early age, perhaps sixth or seventh grade. I kept a diary during those days and made sure it was always locked. That type of writing was considered free style.

As for remembering how the techniques of writing were taught I will do my best.Muddling through elementary and high school writing courses are vague. College is where the majority of my writing skills were formed and developed. The classes focused mainly on beginning writing courses and creative writing. I was a psychology major and most of my classes did not focus on learning how to write , form and develop a well structured essay. I struggle at times to create the perfect thesis statement and sometimes I am right on and there are other instances where teachers think I have lost all of my marbles. I know there are correct ways to teach students how to write, the basic and formats which is what I need to concentrate on to help my future students.
