In this short story “Proficiency” the author thought her writing skills was the best, and other people would agree too, but when she took the “Proficiency” test she had failed. She was confused on how she can ever fail that test if her strong suit was reading and writing. She thought maybe I wasn’t the problem, it’s the people grading my test but in the back of her mind she stills blame and doubt herself, she lost the love for Writing and reading, something she was once good at is now something she is now insecure about. If I was mrs, brown I would of told her “maybe you need to change the way you write, and try something different, a Different style ” maybe all her essay was numb, and had no feelings in it. Honestly anything can be the problem. But I could agree with the author reading and writing became so different and people start to judge your writing piece, you start to hate it. Every time I fail I would slowly lose the happiness and confidence I once had. Now I’m scared to write, and even scared for other people to grade my writing. I wanna get better in my writing skill, but it’s to the point where I don’t wanna write no more and I hate it. I think I’m a wonderful writer but is my writing piece really enough? And that answers lives rent free in my head every time I write.
