What Do I Write: I don't write very often but when I do I write about things that have meaning to me, unless it's a school related essay.

When I first entered this class, I did not have a clue as to what inquiry was nor did I know how to write an inquiry paper. I had always written argumentative essays. It was either this or that, not why could this be an option? Or why did the author choose to use this example to express his opinion? I will be honest, I still do not completely understand inquiry. I understand the concept of it, but I do not understand everything about it. I understand that it is used to explore the different possibilities

The reality is a person writes primarily because they are taught to do so and thus believe they are important enough to be heard, but there are also many other reasons which manifest themselves with time.

I hate writing.” If you ask me what writing is now that I’ve graduated from High school I would say “writing is very hard. Writing is a beautiful way to express your thoughts and emotions.

Ever since I was a little girl I have avoided writing. I have always seen it as a daunting experience. I did not like writing my own stories, unlike other kids my age. I much more enjoyed reading and escaping to new realms. Writing has never interested me even though I believe I’m pretty good at it.
