My experience with formal essay writing goes back as fifth grade for a D.A.R.E contest. This experience was one that I never forgot as it was my first experience with anxiety over writing.

I pictured writing to be as simple as jotting down a few sentences, but as I got farther in school I realized that there is more to it than
kindergarten to the hours spent writing essays in college I have always strived toward becoming a “good writer”. What can make a successful writer is the proper understanding and usage of rhetoric, knowing your audience, and engaging in critical analysis.
