You got it!

Dear incoming Springfield College freshman,

As you enter your first semester of your college careers you may be nervous, excited or a little mix of both. You are going to be starting a chapter in your life and this one is going to be very different from your previous experiences. There will be new people, responsibilities and opportunities to excel in your desired field of work. One of the classes you will have to take is college writing. College writing is a class that explores written communication, sentence structure, paragraph building and the development and organization of essays. The skills you are about to learn are going to help you in the future as your pursue goals in athletic training, physical therapy and any other areas of work. As a student who has completed the first semester of college writing I can give you advice on how to tackle the college writing class. There are going to be assigned readings that you may have to respond to, or talk about in class. Do them! It is also important to go to class. Even if you already know what you want to write about and know when the paper is due, you still need to go. In class is where you gain a lot of tools that will assist you in completing your final drafts. Doing things last minute can seem like the way to go, but it is better to get things done ahead of time. Do not wait till last minute because that can cause you to be really stressed. It is really important as a developing writer to try and experiment with new things. Do not be afraid to change it up som

etimes! I learned the most about my writing skills when I took different approaches in constructing my drafts. They may not always work, but it will help you expand your skills as a writer.

In the class you may experience some challenges. A few challenges I faced in the class was writing to different audiences, having to write a piece without your opinion, having to write a piece against your opinion and having to write things that are new to you all together. domestic violence is. You will get through these challenges with the support of your teachers and by using your resources! College may seem scary, but you will get through it. Keep your head up and always try your best.
