The Challenges I Will Face

English is my favorite subject, and writing one of my favorite assignments. Give me a paper over an exam any day. My high school prepared me for the world of academic writing; writing for mass media is another story. My greatest challenge will be brevity and simplicity. I have been trained in academic writing to use complex diction, training that has even found it's way into my every day vocabulary. I need to learn how to write in a way easily understandable to everyone. I also need to use fewer words to get my point across: hence the challenge of this assignment.
