I realized after attending this session that as an engineer, I have not written and read on my free time in a long time. It is actually really helpful to set away some time for writing and reading so that I could relay my thoughts and writing clearly and concisely. Also, I have never written a cover letter and coming to this session really helped me learn what format guideline is needed when applying for internships. I also learned that my extracurriculars that are not related to my major builds character and traits to their impression on me.

Endless possibilities
I am an engineer as well and I, too, haven’t written for a while and I realized that my writing in terms of grammar has gotten worse. Sentences wouldn’t flow as well and would feel clunky and weird. It’s almost embarrassing to say that my peak writing skills in high school would be better than what I have now. That’s why I think it’s important to get writing checked by others or read more, just to brush up on literary skills.
