My name is Kimia Mostafavi, and I am from Orange County. I am excited for this class because I will be able to strengthen my writing skills in different ways. In particular, I hope to expand my knowledge in how to format various forms and topics of writing. In addition, I hope to acquire skills to use diction and syntax appropriately in order to communicate in a clear, concise manner. I am looking forward to exchanging ideas with my peers to broaden my perspective and simply learn more by examining different opinions. I believe that this class is helpful because regardless of one’s major, writing is a form of communicating and expression which takes place in all subject matters.
