Open a Vein

When I write something that is important to me, I put my whole heart into it.  For the most part, the only writing I do on a daily basis is texting, facebooking friends, taking notes in class, or writing a paper for an assignment.  No matter which one of those I'm doing, I think before I write.  Some people send pointless texts or facebook wallposts; not me.  Writing something out is the best way for me to express my feelings.  I have journals that I take to church, chapel, camps and retreats.  I take notes on what I feel was important in the sermons.  I also jot down how I'm feeling at the time.  I can't wait to go back in the next couple of years and look to see exactly how I was feeling and what I was learning at the time. 
I'm a very opinionated person, and I don't like to be wrong.  You can definitely tell that in my writing when my opinions in a paper sound like facts.  I also want to be an English Education major.  I spend a lot of time on my research papers, or any papers in general.  I love gettting writing assignments because I devote a lot of my "homework time" to it.  I get joy out of writing and editing papers.  In high school,  I would peer edit my friends' reasearch papers before they turned them in.  It was good practice for me and helped me become a better writer myself...they also enjoyed the extra set of eyes correcting their papers.
I mostly like to write about controversal issues.  I wrote a ten page research paper about a controversal issue that I was very passionate about.  It was the longest, yet most exciting paper I have ever written.  I really like all types of writing, but my favorite is when I get to express my opinion.  If I'm not writing a paper for a class, the only other writing I'm doing is texting.  I text mostly my boyfriend, friends, and mom.  Since I was the baby of the family, my mom is usually the one texting me about how lonely it is around the house.  When I write, quality is more important than quantity.  It's not about how many pages your write, it's about what you say in those pages.  As you can see, I thoughroughly enjoy writing.
