Week One

Hi fellow ENG 333 students! My name is Erin, and I look forward to obtaining all that this class has to offer. I am currently enrolled in several summer classes at USM in Hattiesburg, and also maintain a part-time job at a local bank in town where I am a Loan Processor/Closer. As far as my previous writing experiences in other classes, I would say that while my writing skill always leaves room for improvement, instructors here at USM have done a great deal in honing the writing skills of its students. Business Management is my major which also entails a great deal of writing and term papers. That being said, I am not a huge fan of writing in general- although it is for the most part not a huge burden which I dread either. Due to the professionalism that surrounds the field in which I major, it is a necessity to have good vocabulary and writing skills. Furthermore, the way a person portrays himself will usually either be a deal sealer or a deal breaker, so to speak. Therefore, I hope that throughout this course I can gain a better grasp of the acceptable means of verbiage and writing skills needed to help me succeed now as well as later down the road.
