What I Hope To Get From This Writing Class

I have wished for most of my adult life that I would have learned to write better. During my career I have written many reports. It took a lot longer than it should have to write these reports, and often the reports did not convey what I was trying to say as concisely as I would have wished. I inconvenienced my friends and family by asking them to help me with my writing. I hope to improve my writing skills for many reasons: to express myself more effectively, to increase my productivity and be more valuable at work, and to be more influential and promote myself.
