My Experience With Writing.....

Writing is a key element in society. It is a way we can express ourselves in our daily lives. Unfortunately, writing has always been a struggle for me.  The art of words has never come naturally.  Understanding all the elements of grammar and the proper way to express myself always gave me a great deal of unneeded stress. In my opinion, going to a not-so-strict school district my whole life really set me up for disaster. In elementary school, grammar was not really touched on. Throughout all my years of high school I would always have to start a paper days, weeks, and even months in advance. I always knew I needed extra help in this area. Endless amount of tutors, extra help, and SAT/ACT prep only made a little dent in how much help I needed. As a result of all of this, I picked up reading. I always was an extremely strong reader (which is weird because I can’t express my words that intelligently half the time). My goal was always to improve my writing skills and learn different techniques. I love reading romantic stories, short stories, and action novels.  If I open a good one, I could probably read it in a day or two.  I have always aspired to write like the novels I love reading.  I try to not forget that everyone learns differently and it is perfectly okay that writing isn’t my strong suite. I do hope eventually later on in my college career my writing improves. Soon, I will excel and have no worries.
