My Statement

The RHET 105 classroom is inclusive and filled with hard work. I, as a student, work hard to stay on top of things and participate in class. I enjoy being ahead, but I also like to take time out to relax and socialize outside the classroom. As an architecture major, time management is a skill that is quickly asked of me. Coming up with a schedule is not difficult, but following the schedule is. I enjoy spending time with friends, but do not go out and party like many of my classmates. My beliefs helped me choose what I wrote about. I learned about this university community and my interests with educational facilities. I learned that writing is something that cannot be rushed. Reading, researching, and writing allows ideas to be expanded on. Writing, for me, is best done when under pressure because the pressure gives me the motivation needed to complete an assignment.

Metaphors

Writing is a process, so it would make sense to compare writing to another process. Designing a building is a process, and a long path awaits between the brainstorming and the completed construction of a building. As an architecture major, designing is a process that I will become very familiar with.

Tennis is also a process that can also take a long time, especially if playing with ad and both teams play at an equal level. I love the game of tennis because it is a life long sport. Nothing feels greater than hitting a powerful serve or hit that the opponent cannot return.

Tennis will always be a life long activity for me, but I have already written an essay about winning a tennis match being a process. As I step into my dream of becoming a licensed architect, the process of designing would be something that I would like to use. Designing a house is similar to constructing an essay: some are literal and others are metaphorical.
