The Internet can be a great source of information. However, there are many sites that can be unreliable. One site that I prefer to use is Google. Although it directs you to many other sites, it's very useful in the way that it could probably provide you with information on nearly anything. However, one site that I find unreliable is Wikipedia. This site contains information on close to everything too. But, it's open to everyone and whoever would like to can add information to the article. For instance, if I were looking up information on Wikipedia for how to get rid of a cold, the information I would be reading could be true and false. A doctor could of have edited the article and wrote down correct information. Another person could have edited and wrote down something completely untrue. No one can really determine whether what they're reading is true or not. Wikipedia is unreliable because what you're reading is questionable. I think that one way to know if the the site your looking at could be considered reliable would be to look at it's sources. If you were trying to find home remedies to get rid of a cold, trying a website with a hospital as one of it's sources would be better.

I am pretty confident when it comes to writing papers and such. I believe that my writing style is in good shape, and for the most part, the papers that I write flow well. I think that one of my best qualities is how I try to incorporate a good use of vocabulary. Although, the skills that I have when it comes to writing are ones that I have acquired over the past few years. I remember I used to hate writing because I thought that either what I was writing wasn't good, or I just had trouble getting out what I wanted to say. To this day, I still have a hard time sometimes putting my thoughts down on to paper the way I would like them to be. There are things I still need to work on, and transferring my thoughts from my head to paper is one of them.Writing well is definitely not one of the best things I can say about myself, but it's also not the worst.
