My relationship with writing is more complicated but I would still describe it as a positive. I enjoy writing when it is about my personal opinions. I find it easy to dump all my thoughts into a doc or piece of paper. I have a harder time with formal academic writings because the way I organize my ideas are very chaotic and my drafts are not outlined in a traditional way. I do tend to procrastinate when it comes to writing and I am trying to break that habit. I used to struggle with sharing my writing with peers but I am trying to grow out of that. I mainly use google docs for writing for academics. I use a physical journal for personal thoughts and planning my week. In my drafts for academic writing I like to highlight my main ideas so I don’t stray from my points. 

      My relationship with reading right now is complicated. I enjoy reading when I am interested in the subject I am reading about. Otherwise, it feels like a heavy weight on my shoulder trying to read things I simply don't care for. Like math textbooks ( I know I need this knowledge but if I had the choice I would not read a math textbook.) To be honest I cannot remember the last novel I read but I swear novels are my most favorite thing to read. I think I just have prioritized schoolwork and work over it, so I've stayed away from the habit of reading I once had. When I have my own paper copy of a novel, I like to highlight phrases that I find interesting or that I relate to. I also add comments on the side(rarely) about how I relate to writing as well.

      My relationship with writing is positive. I have always enjoyed writing no matter the subject I am writing about. Writing is a way I express my thoughts and feelings about anything. I like writing because I can organize my ideas in a way where I can understand them and express them for other people who might read my writing. I know I can improve my writing because no one is perfect, so I do hope to improve my writing even further in college. I write in school for assignments or research papers, but I also write in my spare time. I like to write my own poems or letters to my loved ones in my spare time. When writing for school I use the grammar/spelling check already embedded into my laptop because I am not a skilled typer and often make spelling mistakes. I also use word count when there is a word count we are required to meet. For my personal writing I sometimes forget a word I want to type so I look it up on google.

My relationship with writing is better than my relationship with reading, because writing really helps me organize my thoughts. I generally have a positive relationship with writing, especially descriptive writing, because I love to draw. Hence, I am always able to describe things in a more creative way. To me, writing descriptive essays is like drawing a picture. I usually use Google Docs to write or the Notes app on my iPhone.

My relationship with writing is neutral and slightly better than my relationship with reading. I really only write the most for academic purposes, but I really love how you can organize your own ideas into a way that works best for you as thoughts and ideas are generated by yourself. I like to use Google Docs to write and I also find that using an outline helps structure my writing. There are some tools on Google Docs like word count, spelling, grammar, and citations that are super helpful for me.

2. I have a negative association with writing because for the majority of my high school year I would always score low on writing-based assessments. On the TOEFL(Test Of English As a Foreign Language) I scored 24/30 for the writing section which tanked my overall score. In high school, I wrote essays about math, literature, and philosophy. I always use google docs to outline, draft and revise my essays. I have found it to be a very useful tool as it syncs my essays across all of my devices. 

My relationship with writing right now is also quite negative. It does not matter what type of essay, stories or language. Most of my writing assignments are schoolwork that have instruction and a checklist to selfcheck. And I lack creativity and have very limited writing skills. So I would end up getting an enormous amount of time editing and revising my writing. It was not fun. I mainly use google doc to write.
