Dear Reader,
A student begins to learn how to write in elementary school and
continues to study the art of writing year after year. Throughout the
years of elementary, middle, and high school I have learned how to
express who I am and effectively discuss my own opinions through
writing. It is difficult to reflect on the time I have spent working on my
own writing because each year I learn so much. Each teacher shows
me how to be a great writer, but each of them also share ideas that
branch to the independence of the unique writing style that I try to
captivate. As a young writer I had a tendency to only tell a story
using simple details. In middle school I learned how to incorporate my
feelings and thoughts into a paper. I also learned the correct
structure of a successful paper. During the past four years I have
learned how to analyze other pieces of writing as well as my own.
Without writing in my life today it would be difficult to navigate
through life.
Sincerely,
Kristyn Littleton
