I would probably have to rate myself as an average writer. I don't necessarily enjoy writing, but I seem to get good grades on essays and writing assignments. The hardest part of writing is starting a paper, or writing on a topic I don't feel passionate about. I understand that in the future I will have to write about topics I don't like but I just find it really difficult to do so. I really hated to write during middle school and even the beginning of Freshmen year only because I was never good at writing and didn't have nearly as much practice. During my Sophomore year I had a teacher who made us write about any topic for five or more minuets each day. Even though I dreaded writing, I learned to enjoy those 5 minuets. I later learned how to express myself through writing. I also thought that Mr. Spence helped me become a stronger writer. In his class junior year, we had to write an essay per week. With practice, I became a better writer. Jim Tolas "Papou" Who?
