Why I write...

I write for many reasons. Mostly I write for my family because most of my writings are about my family. Ever since I was a little girl, I would write little poems or songs that I would read aloud to the family. I think about it now and the poems and songs were really silly, but my parents still loved them.

I write because it makes me feel better. When I write something down on paper, it will stay there and it will never leave. I can look back on it and remember how I felt, what i thought, what happened, what should have happened, and so on. When I write, I block the whole world out so it is just me and the words.

I write because it makes my imagination wander. Depending on what I am writing about, I always think about the 5 senses: smell, hear, taste, touch, and see. I like to think of myself as a very opinionated person, but I can never say what my mind tells me to say, but when I write it down it just seems to make a whole lot more sense. Even when the words are there on the paper, you can take them back by just erasing and switching it up a bit.

I write because it is what I want to do with my life. In the future I plan to be a broadcast journalist. I want to write and tell about news and events and let the people know about it.
