Ok, Well, I totally avoided writing this for a while because I honestly didn't know what to write about. And then yesterday at school, I came up with an idea of writing about middle school. Now, those three years were not easy for me and I honestly went through a lot- which I learned from. But now that I'm thinking about it, I don't know if I'm ready to unleash all those personal stories, especially if it has to be something I might publish. As I am writing this, another idea came to my head. Writing means the world to me. My next essay will incorporate just how much it means to me- how I may have doubts at different times about my future job or even my writing capabilities itself, but it is who I am. It always has been. And I first realized this in the 6th grade which is one very good thing that did happen to me in middle school.
I will explain the poems I wrote and how they connected to different aspects in my life by addressing those experiences. And Throughout, I will show my views of writing and how strong they are- different from the rational world. I know it sounds a bit confusing now, But I been jotting some stuff down and I actually think this could work and in there will have remembrances of difficult times but not in a way where I can't write about them. My main focus: I can't runaway from who I am. None of us can.

Lauren - You also mentioned your writing in class today. Go for it! I was talked out of writing my whole life. I did other things like I was told to do. I became good at it - legal secretary and then paralegal - but it never made me happy. I did many of the things we are "supposed" to do in life. Now I am writing. People still ask - "what are you going to do with it." I tell them I expect to publish. I already have skills to earn a living, but writing is what I love. When I introduced myself to you at the beginning of this class, I told you I was aware of you because of your writing at Kean U. You seemed surprised. Don't be. You are excellent and one of the writing students at Kean I look to. Maureen
