Hello! My name is Jacora Kiser and I am a senior marketing major at Howard University. Ever since I was a little girl math has been my favorite subject. Everything about the subject was easy for me and I enjoyed learning new things about it throughout my education journey. However, I struggled with english. WHOMP! I wouldn’t necessarily say I am a terrible writer but for some reason english was always a struggle for me. I think this is due to me being a perfectionist and strategic person. Math allows me to learn how to do something one way knowing I am going to continuously get the correct answer; while english is the total opposite. Not knowing exactly how an assignment should be written made it hard for me to even start on them, which was the hardest part for me.
English was something I completely avoided up until I got to college and had to take multiple english courses to graduate. Throughout my four years in college I have taken the same english class three times! Not because I didn’t comprehend but simply because I was fearful that I wasn’t a strong writer. So to avoid the bad grades, which I got anyway, I just didn’t do the essays. However, I slowly started to tell my self that this is just a little obstacle that I have to overcome because I was hurting myself more than anything. I started to do different writing assignments and saw that I wasn’t as bad as imagined!
So here we are today with a website all about me tackling my fear of writing and I proud to say I finally did it! On this website you can see a few of my writing obstacles, or assignment lol, that I am very proud to share as I mark the end of my fear of writing.
I hope this website helps you to realize that you are in the way of your own accomplishments and no matter how fearful you may be to push through and succeed! ENJOY!
