My writing process.

A lot of people have different writing processes to suite their individual needs to be able to write. The first thing I do to begin my writing process is that I tell my mom that I am going to start my homework and if she can help take care of my daughter so I can be able to concentrate on my assignment. The second thing that I do is get a scrap sheet of paper so I can be able to brain storm my ideas. This helps me with my introduction and to help me get my other paragraphs started by helping me figure out the main reasons why I am writing what I am writing. My next step in my writing process is to start writing my paper. After I write a paragraph I go over it to see if I have made any mistakes, so when I go over my whole paper I shouldn’t have to change that many things around. I kind of take breaks in this process in case I lose my thoughts or if I just need to take a break to reboost my brain. So that’s when I go to the fridge and get some snacks and things to keep me going. This usually always helps me get back on track. After I take my few minute break I get back to work so I can get things done. I usually procrastinate until like the night before but I still get my work done and I think that’s when my train of thought comes to me better because I’m getting everything off my mind on that topic all at once.

How does technology help your life?

Technology helps my life in many ways. I think a cell phone is kind of a necessity in peoples lives because you never know what can happen at anytime, like a car accident or a flat tire. In case of an emergency you can also call 911 really quick from your cell phone. Computers help my life out a lot to in different ways. I can get on the computer to look for places to go eat, or find directions on the internet as well, or to check the weather. I also use the computer to go to learning websites because I have a two year old daughter. So I show her games that teaches you the abc's and there is also games that teaches you shapes too. So my daughter loves it. The tv also helps my life and my families lives in different ways also because my mom always watches the news to see what's going on in the city or in our community, as well as the world. We also find out very important information by the news.
