The Final Why I Write......

  

Certain people tell you to write and tell you to do this does that. Well when the teacher tells too to write, what do you do? You don’t write, you goof off and then write the last minute and it’s horrible, but sometimes great. When I got into composition, I learned that writing doesn’t just take one day or four hours, it take multiple hours and days to get a great piece.

                I write because of one this honors class that I have taken composition. At first it was very hard and frustrating because there were papers left, and right. After the first semester was over I have gained enough courage to just sit and write, yes it was hard but I got in the habit of writing. Each piece that we have worked on has touched my heart in several ways. I can remember clearly the Crash paper last semester. That touched my heart because it taught us the values or racism and how we stereotype people without knowing them. The paper about us that was assigned with different ways of writing , I remember that one because I got to talk about my family and how I was raised and certain things that make me, me. If I could go back today I would do a lot of my writing differently and take my time and enjoy each piece Ms. James has given us.

                I write because I started writing about an old me that doesn’t exist anymore, over this school year a lot has happened and hanged me into a new person, more of a stronger person and writing about that makes me feel great because I have been knocked down several times but I’ve gotten up and written about it. Now as I sit hear taking this final I listen to all the keyboards pecking away and it makes me wonder if this will sound the same again, we have spent countless hours revising and looking at each other’s paper and now it’s time to say goodbye.  However one project I loved doing was this Multi- Genre project. We all took time and effort and put several papers together to make one big project and the thought of that seems scary but when I was writing my poem for that piece I fought so hard not to write it but when I sat down and was thinking words came to me, and I had written a poem that was worth it. One of my best poems that I will treasure.

                Most people would say I write because the teacher makes me, but the teacher doesn’t really make you, we choose to take this class we choose to write almost whatever we want and granted it takes forever to finish but we sit through it and work on it. I will say I’m going to miss this class and Miss Ms. James because she puts a lot of thought into this class and makes all of us pass and she may nag but her nagging is great because she makes us get the work in and we pass. Thank you Ms. James

               I write because writing is a stress reliever and it helps voice an opinion without getting in trouble, it helps you yell at someone on paper and the rip it up and no one will ever have to see it again. That’s why I love to write, it also helps me tell someone how I feel. I love to write even if it is a struggle for me.
