Why I Want To Become A Writer

I want to join the writing center because writing has always been a passion to me and I want to instill that passion in others. I think I would be qualified to be a tutor. I have been writing for as long as I can remember and I have some editing experience from being on yearbook staff.

I started writing fiction in elementary school, and never looked back. Tucked away among old report cards and craft projects, my mother still has the multicolored notebook containing my first short story, written when I was in first grade. (It's a treat. I may share it here at some point.) So, when I say that writing in ingrained in me, that it's part of who I am, I mean it.

Prior to my development of routine introspection and, consequently, maturation, I wrote not to encapsulate my ever-growing discomfort towards life, but rather to gain praise and acknowledgement for my efforts in writing. Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, I sat on the floor of my kindergarten classroom criss-cross applesauce-style as my teacher, Mrs. Glickman, asked the class to write a short story and to provide an illustration to accompany it. With smudged and disorderly speckles of graphite sprawled across my paper, I managed to write a story in my signature chicken-scratch handwriting. The story was relatively simple, about a girl who had thought she was a hideous monster until she looked into a river reflection and realized she was beautiful. I even drew (or attempted to draw) a beautiful girl for the second part of the assignment. At the next school assembly, Mrs. Glickman granted me a sky-colored paper, reading “Award of Recognition: Kiana Lucin, for her creative writing and exemplary drawing skills.” From this point on, I prided myself in writing, and excelled

It may be the easiest thing to say that becuase I am from Spain, I should not be by any means a better writer than an American born student writer. In many aspects of life, I shouldn't, but as least as I like to compare myself to others, I may say that throughout my four years of English learning my growth has been exponential. Becoming a well rounded writer is arduous to achieve, however every writer including high school writers, usually have some skills within writing that they are good at. In my personal case, knowing that I didn't start writing until I was fourteen years old, I would say that I am pretty good at writing entertaining compositions, and in occasions, if my grammar is correct as well as being no run-ons, my essays can even

Why do I like writing so much? It could be the way the words play in my mind like a movie or the way the characters shape themselves in my head. It could be how I react to the character’s death the same way an audience reacts in a play. It could be how it takes me sometimes hours to come up with one line, but one line that is perfect. A writer is like an artist to a painting or the director of a movie except without the paintbrush or video camera. Writing takes me somewhere else; sometimes it’s a beach or a bench at a park. After hours of brainstorming, writing and editing I feel pride flow through my

I’d always enjoyed writing but I’d never been so vocal about it. For me, it happened quietly. My notebooks lie scattered over my bedroom floor; they had no place at the lunch table. And my writing survived on my acknowledgments alone, I couldn’t even imagine letting some else read it. This was due in part to my own self-doubt: I was embarrassed of my poems that never rhymed and my short action stories that never seemed to have any plot. But I

Writing has been an outlet for me, and has allowed me to express my passions, guided me along a trying time in my life, and has forced me to acknowledge that I can’t let a disease define who I am, and moreover has pushed me to discover that I’m a passionate young man

It is impossible to produce a piece of writing without creativity and imagination. As the foundation of writing, these aspects of writing creativity enhance the learning experience of oneself and others. Creativity and imagination also serves a therapeutic function by enabling individuals to escape whatever harsh realities they may be forced to endure. In addition, extending far beyond the creation of literature or fiction, these unique aspects of writing also enable one to establish and strengthen their own expressions, empathies, and criticisms of themselves and the world around

One Christian man who utilized and clearly enjoyed literature—both of fiction entertainment and non-fiction—as a means of spreading the Christian worldview is C. S. Lewis. Lewis, though the joys of the sub-genre of fantasy, managed to create an entertaining story while also upholding and spreading the Christian worldview. One of his most famous works, The Chronicles of Narnia, is a series filled with magic and the impossible, but the entire series is riddled with allusions to the Bible, allusions that fell into place because of his Christian faith. The creation of Narnia (The Magician’s Nephew, Chapter 9) matches the account found in Genesis; the lion present throughout the series, Aslan, is similar to God and Christ, and the symbol of the

As a child raised in the confined and modest society of the countryside, I have felt bereft and misplaced in the universe. Ardently, pining to become part of something extraordinary and to belong to a society composed of refinement and creativity. In the provincial town from whence I came, I observed for many a year how living in conformity rendered many a person in the vicinity insignificant objects of mediocrity. Which only solidified my conviction in the endless improvement of my mind and character, determined to become bigger and brighter than anyone that came before me. I always relentlessly sought but seldom obtained the golden opportunity to explore any interest of mine or was ever afforded the luxury to pursue and hone those interests to absolute perfection, particularly my fervent interest in literature and the performing arts.

Stripped of its texture and creativity, my writing now feels like a contrived jumble of words, forced and boring. This gradual problem first took shape in the form of a 12-year-old’s humiliation. Presenting a poem I had written about taking out the trash, I was crushed to find that my attempt at humor had been met with silence and unamused classmates. Along with realizing that humor was not my forte, I also gained a fear towards writing. When pencil touches paper, a tug-of-war begins. Ideas of what I want to write seep into my brain only to be knocked down by that same fear of failing. I wanted to appear perfect in front of my audience so my pieces careful and

good afternoon, when it comes to writing I belive there are certain areas I could improve in order to become a stronger writer for myself as well as those who will be reading my writing. In my future career writing will be an important asset in the work field because you must write everything in detail in order for others to understand. In criminal justice case work and reports will entail writing, in the future I hope to become a strong enough writer so that I can succeed in the work

My interest in writing wasn’t always apparent to me even though I sought out activities that included the skill. I enjoyed English classes growing up, but I never thought I would utilize writing at a heightened capacity for different disciplines and my own creative pursuits. Soon enough, writing became an activity that I did outside of the classroom, especially in public health pursuits during my time in college and creatively post-graduation. It is a part of my constant development as a person who contributes to causes and activities that I care about and a part of the impact I believe I can make in the medical field.

Is it wrong for me to believe that to be a good writer, one must be blessed with natural talents? Or so I thought when I realized that writing is something anybody can do through practice, hard work, and even reading. Of course those who have a natural talent for writing may have it easier, but you don’t need to be a genius to be a writer. To be honest, there was a point in my life where I thought I wasn’t good enough to be called a “writer”, but I was more like a person who just writes. Even in school, I struggle with finding a motivation or passion to be able to write a well thought out paper beyond what the requirements for school are. The fact that I have more weaknesses than strengths left me with the feeling of uncertainty and doubt on whether I can freely write my thoughts and words down onto a piece of paper. I mean if I can’t even do something as simple as that, then how am I ever going to be able to clearly get my point across to those reading. Through my strenuous years of writing countless papers, I still find myself having problems. One of my downfalls has to be the fact that it takes me a longer amount of time to write an essay compared to my fellow peers who can probably finish one within less than an hour.

Even before high school, I had written several poems and short stories of varying genres and lengths. However, I became serious about creative writing in the tenth grade when I endeavored to write a novel. I finished the framework of that novel and since then have decided to revamp it. In addition to that work, I have authored the beginnings of a second novel, over thirty poems, and fifteen stories, both short and long. Currently, writing is a hobby, but in the long run, I aspire for my writing to be a means by which to extend my reach in the medical field and to expand my
