1. I liked writing pmy personal essay alot better than I thought I would. At first I was nervous because I had never done anything like it before, but it was a good experience. I liked it because it gave me the opportunity to write about a really important and valuable experience to me. The mission trip was so powerful and impactful that I always have a hard time retelling the week to people. This essay gave me an outlet to make the experience more vivid and understandable.
2. I agree that reading is crucial to sucessful writing. You may begin with natural writing ability, but if you want to improve yourself as a writer you need to read. Reading is like research to a scientist. It provides you with ideas, new techniques and lessons on what to do and what not to do. Reading will help you develop a unique writing style that is true to yourself. This is because by reading you learn more about what type or writing you respond to, what you like in a story, what you find to be annoying etc. By learning about other authors and their styles you can fuse them into a unique blend, or vary your writing style to apply to what you are specifically writing.
3.My favorite thing to write was the play. I liked writing the play because it presented a new challenge and high school writing assignments tend to become mundane. The play was pure fun to write because my story line was light-hearted, relatable and funny. My ideas that came to mind made me smile. My least favorite things to write were the poems at the begining of the year. I appreciate good poetry but, I myself, do not enjoy writing it. I have always struggled to express my ideas in concise and symbolic ways that read rythmically. I would rather just use full sentences.
