Blog # 12 Hmm

My two essays that I wrote were completely different which is good. My first one means so much to me because it surrounds a difficult time in my life that i had to face. I feel that I needed to get that story out and when I read it over again, remembering those same experiences I can begin to see all over again how intense everything was for me in 2006. But I overcame it. That's the important part. Writing is strength for me. It always has be. To write about all I went through- it eventually becomes much more than an experience. I put together many stories in one to give way to a symbolic meaning and I want to finish it. I can't leave this piece alone. I don't want to. I think I will do more editing to it and see how much more powerful I can make it.

Don't get me wrong. My second piece also includes many interesting, and sometimes difficult experiences from the past. It also talks about what I want to do with the rest of my life and why I came to this conclusion. But I also feel that I need to think into this one a little more and how I am going to focus it into one whole idea instead of numerous ideas. Both stories represent a lot of truth but I am going to revise number 1.
