Jieun Kim/ My Attitude Towards Writing/ Tues 3-4

I like to write. I like writing even more when I am familiar with the subject. I have been writing in English since I was in elementary school. I started writing English journals. At first, it was because a school assignment. It was not mandatory, but students who wrote a lot would be given an award. Therefore, I started writing in summer vacation. Fortunately, I was in the United States with my aunt that time, so it was easier to write English journals. Also, I won an award. I think since then, English writing was a part of my life. I do not write English journals any more, but as I went to middle school, I started writing essays because I was studying for the TOEFL. I studied until I was in 12^th grade. Meanwhile, I have written hundreds of essays because at the academy, I was supposed to write minimum two essays per week. In short, I had a lot of experience in writing. However, as I entered College, there was not much experience to write. Therefore, I registered this class in order to improve my skills into a higher level.

           I believe that writing is important because it is the best way to express emotions or opinions that are hard to be said. I believe that almost everyone could agree that it is easier to write 'I love you' to our parents than saying it directly. Thus, writing makes a person become honest without the need to be shy or uncertain. For this reason, I believe that practicing to become a great writer is a vital job that everyone should try to achieve. Even though, sometimes it is hard to find ideas and organize them, but I still enjoy writing, and I will continue to write even in the far future.
