My older sister, now there is a girl that can write! She can mesmerize and tantalize you with beautifully sculpted lines and leave you eager to read more. I have always envied that about her. I only recently became interested in writing and reading for recreation, as we will call it. I do believe that merely wanting to excel in writing is enough to actually do it. You have to find a place inside yourself. A place where a voice waits to be heard. You find your feelings and you take the time to become familiar with them. Practice putting those feelings on paper. I find reading helps a lot with vocalizing your own thoughts.
I am thinking about this scientific research paper for college comp2, and I have decided to write about the environment, global warming, to be exact. I can't say I am not nervous about this project. However I feel strongly about humans being aware of the damage we cause to our planet. I know there will be plenty of information available on the topic, so I am confident about researching. I really strive to improve my writing skills with this class. I think it is important to know the mechanics of our language, so that we can write effectively in our careers.
I enjoy the idea of writing for pleasure, as a sort of release. I know I will never write as good as Maya Angelou, but I'm hoping with some practice, and a little expertise from my composition teacher, I will soon be writing page after page of my poems, or short stories. It would be a great way to get things off my chest and who knows, one day I might be as eloquent as my darling sister! :)
