Bumps in the Writing Road

Growing up through school I always had difficulties with writing, hence the fact that I am on my way to receiving a diploma from Flagler College's Department of Business. My teachers would tell me I had a very creative mind, yet my thoughts didn't translate on to paper well. I had real trouble with my thoughts moving faster than my pencil. I would often leave out many words in sentences. It was a challenge just to follow the basic story map (characters,setting,events,resolution,ending). This was due to the simple fact that I was rather anxious to get my point across that I wouldn't realize many skipped details. My writing has progressed since then, but every so often I have to tell myself to slow down and write as if the reader is clueless to what I am writing about. I was taught various tactics from my mother, because she always saw the potential in my writing where others didn't. I don't believe writing is what I was meant to pursue, but that doesn't mean I won't continue to practice to help me in my journey into the real world. So how did I do writing this?
