My Love for English and Writing

In elementary school I used to enjoy projects where we had to write our own stories and complete the pages with pictures or drawings. I would make up all kinds of stories of all sorts like an All-Star basketball player who couldn’t be stopped, magical worlds, to even an evil Tooth Fairy. Short Fiction is kind of the only writing that I like to do. Going into Middle and High School I was introduced to formal, structured type of writing that was way different from what I liked to write when I was younger. As I got more and more formal writing prompts I began to stop like writing. It because a struggle for me to transition from fun, fictional writing to formal types of

Writing is not just marking letters, words, or symbols on a piece of work. My perspective states that writing is not just expressing yourself through words; in fact, it is mostly one’s expression; your emotions, thoughts, beliefs, etc. Correspondingly, according to myself, writing is extremely artistic and evocative way to reveal one self’s personality. Most important, I am in the creative writing class, because I desired to be in it, due to the fact that it is my passion, it is a way I can express myself thoroughly, and it makes me feel as if I am in a whole different world where I can reveal everything I desire.

“Literacy is a bridge from misery to hope.” -Kofi Annan. Literacy in my family tree will never be brought back to scholars or philosophers infact Many in my family have not seeked and further education and many have not even finished high school.my love for literacy has been placed into my heart by my sister.As a child my sister has always handed me book after book each one with a smile on her face.

I don’t like work—no man does—but I like what is in work—the chance to find yourself. Your own reality … —what no other man can ever know. They can only see the mere show, and never can tell what it really means.

The first time I realized I enjoyed writing was when I read the book Coach Carter by Jasmine Jones. I know it sounds a little strange that I found out I enjoyed writing through reading, but in my mind it all makes sense. Reading allows individuals to see into other peoples lives and envision what they are living. Although I enjoy writing it was not something I was naturally very good at. However, as of right now I plan on trying my hardest to take the rules I have learned over time to apply to my writing to help improve it, along with any corrective criticism I can get. Something I find comfort in though is the idea that everybody has to start somewhere, and no matter where you start there is room for improvement and no one is perfect.

I have been an avid reader since childhood and enjoy all genres of literature. My passion of reading has enhanced my writing by being exposed to different styles of writing, enhancing the imagination, and broadening vocabulary skills. Throughout my academic career I have always done well on the reading comprehension and essay portion of standardized test. As a relatively shy person I have continuously challenged myself to become more comfortable with speaking in front of group. I began college later in life and several of my professors assigned group or individual presentations to the entire class. Although, in the beginning I was nervous it became easier as I gained experience and confidence as a presenter. We always need to push ourselves

I'm passionate about writing. I can adapt and write about a variety of topics. My writing skills include blogs, articles, poetry and novels.

For as long as I can remember, I loved to read. There was never a distinct moment that clicked. Never did I see reading as a requirement; more so a desire. My desire to read paved the way for my need to tell my own stories. Aside from the stories I read, the ones I created brought a sense of satisfaction that I could never find elsewhere. My love for reading and writing is like the need for one to consume food and liquids to keep their body both nourished and hydrated. It’s a necessity! When I read or wrote, I craved peace and the need to escape into the world of endless possibilities. A place I can venture with no responsibilities and no worries. As I got older, my need to open a book and read, or write a story came natural. I was free!

A lot of people are literate in Reading and Writing, however, I am literate in other things such as Guitar, Fencing, Bowling, Metal-Detecting, Reading, Writing, and tons of other things. But I really have a passion for Reading and Writing. When I start writing, I really get into it and I do not want to stop, but sometimes when I do not get into it, I just write a small amount amount and don't really have a passion for what I am writing. But when it is good I put a lot of feeling into it. The same goes for reading, I love to read a book if it fits into my interest, I usually like books with more action and surprising moments. It can be realistic fiction, it does not matter to me. There are always weaknesses to everyone's strengths.

Life as a teenager today can be very stressful and sometimes intense. One must reflect to outweigh these crazy times with special moments and special people. Being a team member in many Pine Richland High School Band programs has allowed me to dive in and move forward sharing my love for music and touching the lives of others.

Writing has always been a crucial part of my life. Despite any issues I faced, from my penmanship to my versatility as a writer, I wasn’t going to let these dilemmas prevent me from accomplishing my goals. Prosperity never came easy and at times it did seem futile to continue trying, but defeat wasn’t an option. Reflecting on the obstacles I conquered, it’s because of the arduous process I endured that allowed me to evolve into the writer I am today.

Reading and writing have always been apart of me. From childhood to now. It was just something that my parents instilled in me. I knew how to read basic books and write before I even started pre-school. My parents made it a priority for me to read and write growing up, and the more I read, the fonder I was of it. I will read any type of literature, as long as it peaks my interest. I prefer romance and mysteries, but I try to be diverse when it comes to what I read. I want to make sure I get something out of the books I read, whether or not it is learning something knew about the world or myself, or looking at things in a new way.

Growing up I always loved writing. I can remember in elementary school, coming home to write some sort of poetry in my journal. Looking back now, I can laugh at the mistakes I made, or how silly something sounded. As any young child, though, I felt super proud of my work. I loved sharing it with people, but mostly, I loved sharing it with my mom. She would hang my work up on the fridge and show everyone. Some pages I just wanted to share with her and even then, she would still tell me her favorite parts. She loved reading my writing and I loved sharing it with her. My mom encouraging me to write as freely as I want directly influenced my writing today.

I found my passion to be a journalist in the first grade. Most individuals don’t even know what they want to be at that age. However, I knew from a young age that I loved to read and write. In my free time I would mostly read novels and write stories about the supernatural. Having that passion in my life to read and write was a big influence. I never felt that I was forced to do this. I loved what I was doing, and that was a big motivator for me. Although elementary was one of the main beginning points for my emphasis in Communications, and theater in high school and currently college played great influence’s as well and really helped me develop confidence, strengthen my mindset, and as individual help me reach my goals.
