Tae-Hwan Park / My attitude toward writing / Tues 3-4

I have a fairly neutral feeling when it comes to writing but, I cannot lie that it leans more to a negative side. One of my earliest memories of writing was when I was in fifth grade. I had to write a story which I really did not want to do so I ended up writing a really bad story about a gladiator. My plot was so horrible because I made the story up as I was writing and after I was done never even checked my grade when I got my paper back. However, when I was in fourth grade I wrote a poem about pain which was very praised by a lot of people, so not all memories were bad. In my first year of university I wrote about the amphibious landing on D-day during the Second World War which I got a perfect score. After this event I learned that my feelings toward any writing would be determined by the fact of if I have an interest in the topic or not.

Writing came naturally for me I never took an easy class or never took any time practicing how to write. Most of all my writing experiences were homework as my environment ever made me see why I would need to perfect my writing. My general attitude when writing is to please myself than my teachers so I would write about something I like as a result, I end up writing very debated issues while expressing my thoughts very clearly which normally offends at least one out of every five who read it.
