From elementary school to high school, I was taught that my writing had to be structured and follow strict criteria. After I arrived in Mr. Mukherjee’s ENG 102 class, I was given the opportunity to express my creative freedom through words and graphical pictures. It can often be difficult and challenging to improve upon my own writing abilities unless motived with an idea in mind.

In a world filled with war, violence, revenge, and opinions we are becoming a more divided society every day- an Us vs. Them society. With movements like Black Lives Matter it’s almost as though everyone has to pick a side and have an opinion on everything, every hot button topic.
