Honestly I’m not entirely sure what I am going to write
about yet, because it’s hard picking one single topic. If I was going to talk
about how I learned to ski, I guess I would just explain the many trips my parents
and I took up to the mountains. They first put my on skis when I was only three
years old, and I have been skiing ever since. Usually when they would take me
up I would be put in ski school, and then they would ski on their own for the
rest of the day. When I got a little bit older I would start skiing with my
parents and slowly became about as good as they were. Once I started skiing
more with my friends and going up to the mountains frequently I just kept
getting better every time at skiing. Pretty soon I would just fly past my parents
on the slopes. Skiing wasn’t just something that I picked up overnight and I
spent many hours trying to prefect my skills. Something that stood out to me is
the week long ski trips we would take to Utah, Colorado, Montana, and wherever we
could get a place. Skiing for a week straight really tested my strength, and my
skills. I think those week long vacations are what strengthened my skiing
skills the most. Learning how to stop is one of the biggest things when it
comes to skiing. When you first start out they teach you to do the “pizza”
style and then when you get more comfortable skiing, you develop your own ways
of stopping. One of my favorite ways is coming down the hill at a rapid speed
and then making a wide fast turn by putting all of my body weight on to one ski
eventually doing a one-eighty facing me in the opposite direction. That way I can
look for my parents or friends coming down the slope behind me. Skiing is a physically challenging, extremely
exciting sport that I have enjoyed all of my life, and I think I can write a
good learning experience essay on this topic.
This sounds like a great start to your ed. nar.! Starting at only 3...thats awesome!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a good beginning! In an earlier post, you mentioned that you start writing an essay from the introduction on, and that you have a lot of difficulty starting it. What works well for many people is to sketch out the body, or one or two parts or aspects of the body of the paper first. Once you know more about what you're saying overall, it's usually easier to go back and add an introduction, just like it's easier to introduce a person you already know well, but it's much more difficult to say something about something or someone you already know something about.
