Writing Experiences
It’s hard to imagine a life without writing. From research papers, school essays, and resumes, to text messaging, grocery lists, and passing notes during class, writing is a huge part of my daily life. Sometimes I write as part of requirements for a class of to apply for a scholarship or a program. Other times I write to amuse myself or to remind myself to do something.

Sometimes you don’t have a choice but as a whole, I write better when I can pick what I’m writing
