               (Part 1) One thing that I like a lot about Toni-Lee Capossela said was that you are a consultant not a tutor, because people feel like a tutor can be intimidating and knows more then you. For me though I am a little scared because I am not a great writer and if someone needs more help on their paper then I can see, brings me to the next thing helping a writer with surface features. I feel like I will miss the small things like comas, different word choice, and simple spelling. I know with time and practice I will get better but I do not want to give a student a bad peer review.

 

               (Part 2) All through my education I have struggled with my writing, it has always been my weak point in school. As of know the writing I do is whatever my classes require of me and the simple social media, like Facebook, Twitter, and texting. When it comes to my writing what works best for me is to think about what I am writing about write down the ideas and then organize them in the order how I want to write the paper, then I just jump right into writing the paper and then leave for the night or day and then come back and revise it. My strongest point in writing is coming up with the ideas on what I am going to write on and know what I am going to say. I am really good at coming up with a good hook in the introduction and writing the introduction. My weak points in writing are coming up with a good thesis, conclusion, using different word choice. Also one thing that I really need to work on in general is not waiting till the last few days to write my paper, in college it’s a little hard with all the other work but since writing is difficult I want to work on not waiting till the last minute to write a paper. What I want to work on this is semester is my weak points and get better at them.
