"Quality is not an act, it is a habit." This quote from the Greek philosopher Aristotle exemplifies the transformation I experienced, in my writing process, during my college Composition II course this semester. Continuous development of essential writing habits took place with each article. In the first article, which took the form of a personal story about digital literacy, a strong recognition of the importance of the need became part of my mindset. This happened when I learned to build an article around its central theme. The second essay, a profile of an Arrowhead football game, delved into the meticulous aspects of style and word choice. It provided me with the opportunity to allow my written language to better reflect the tone of the work. Finally, my third essay, a research paper on the proliferation of nuclear energy, led to deeper reflection on how to integrate my previously learned habits into a concise, organized structure. Each of these articles provided a forum, which allowed me to acquire new writing habits as I journeyed through the process of producing quality work. My first substantive writing assignment for this class took the form of a narrative, which revealed a personal encounter with some form of digital literacy. With this goal in mind, the graded draft took the reader through my experiences with Dr. Randal as he introduced two types of digital literacy to forms of medical imaging: X-rays and MRIs. The first attempt, to construct a well-crafted article, used strong images, which allowed the reader to insert themselves into the situation. Passages like “He was about 5 feet 6 inches tall, had dark brown eyes, and a receding hairline,” painted mental pictures of the characters for my audience… in the center of the paper… and I guided the reader to the main points. During my College Composition II course, developing useful writing habits spurred a fundamental shift in my organization and writing style. Each article tells a story of personal growth in unique aspects of my writing technique. I learned how the process of becoming a better writer depends on a person's ability to form good habits and skills by implementing them into a cohesive piece of writing: developing a central theme and meticulously editing syntax with particular attention to the passive voice and choice of words . At the same time, I must recognize how each piece of writing can always be improved to better represent my intent as I refine my writing methods. I hope that these three essays contained in my portfolio illuminate this metamorphosis of habits, which has propagated the production of quality writing.
