Due to my experiences in high school I believe that I have a strong ability to write quickly and fully. I took several writing classes with a teacher who had her doctorate. Due to this her course level was very high and our assignments were college course based. We did a lot of timed essays that required research, allowing me to learn how to quickly come up with an essay.
Having gone to a small school, I had mostly small classes. Perhaps due to this we never had any word limits on our essays. I found this to be a real struggle yesterday and had to cut a lot of my thoughts out to keep my word count down. I do ramble on, and I need to work on that. I have always been encouraged to expand, and I am not very competent at keeping my work concise.
