Strong/Weak Writing/Speaking and Plagarism (Response to Know Yourself and Your Journal for Chapter 9

In my opinion, I believe that im a very weak writer when it comes to writing essays and assignments that are need to be done. It's hard to find an interest when doing these certain assignments, but then again I do have a lot of strength in finding evidence as the many things in life I may have experienced or heard would usually pertain to most topics I write about. I also lack in grammar. I usually forget to put in the most important words in my sentence as it stays in my head and doesn't land on the actual paper. My tense is also horrible as well because I usually get confused when I use the right words at the wrong time. I think this is why I am stuck in LLD02, which I really need to pass or else I won't be in school anymore! I just hope for progress.

My speech skills however, are greatly increasing due to the past experiences I have had over time. At first I tend to be nervous when I am the center of attention of a speech, but then I observe my audience, which leads me to be comfortable when I talk and make my speech. My first speech for Public Speaking is later today so hopefully I can find what real strengths and weaknesses I have with speeches.

Plagiarism has never crossed my mind at all. What kind of idiot would plagiarize someone else's work? People who plagiarize are weak as they don't tackle what assignment is given to them and they wouldn't get anything out of it but a grade. It's all about knowledge. Doing this work gives us knowledge in order to help us in the future. If we live a world of plagiarism, we wouldn't even know how function right because we haven't received that knowledge we should of had before. If you get caught up, you may be kicked off campus, EVEN ARRESTED!

So why plagiarize? It's bad for the eyes...
