“______Changed me”
What Changed Me? Essay
Yesterday I was asked what changed me. Well I had a lot to think about and I still don’t know. Maybe it’s in my head and it’s stuck and it doesn’t want me to know. Maybe I’m not thinking hard enough. But just as I started typing it hit me, it hit me like a piano hit me in the face. WRITING! It was staring me in the face the whole time! Writing changed my life. One way I know is that I express my feelings more, I followed my dreams and other people’s writings expired me.
First off I express my feelings more. I, Christina Rana Patterson never liked to express my feelings to anyone, I mean ANYONE! I know crazy right. Well now since writing entered my life I don’t have such a hard time. I’ve been writing for 3 years now and I love it! It’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me.
Second, I followed my dreams. My dream started in 8th grade when I was writing for the school news paper I never thought I would like it but I had a change of heart and I did. Every day I think of something to write and I ended up typing it and posting it on the internet. I would have never had this dream if it weren’t for Brittany Croft who had forced me to be in the school news paper so thank you.
Thirdly other people’s writings expire me. Whenever I read something new I have this whole new idea for a story. I’m always writing about romance even though I have no experience in romance at all I still write about it. I wouldn’t call myself a good writer but I would call myself an ok writer. Heck I’m on Google and I think it’s awesome! I have an imagination of a little kid which makes my stories childish? But who cares it’s my writing and they can judge me if they want.
I’m glad I thought of this but through it all I have thought a lot. I’m glad that I write and I have a good imagination it makes me different. I will always stay the same and feel the same way about what I write about. I’m glad that I express my feeling more, that I followed my dreams and that other people’s writing expires me. I’m happy with my life and you should be happy with yours.
