First Blog Journal

Earliest Memory:  My earliest memory of writing was in first grade.  We had a book writer come to our class and work on a special project of writing our own book. My story was about when I got my first dog. I wrote that when my mom finally said  " Maybe" I could get a dog, I ran up stairs and began jumping on my bed out of joy. My mom never knew this until she read my book.  I had to illustrate my story. Each story was made into a little book. I still have mine.


Turning Point In Writing: I sometimes take my Nana to the store because she is elderly and handicapped.  I  always enjoy going with her to the store because we laugh a lot.  I one time wrote an essay about this.  I was forced to think about and describe the shopping experience. It was a great learning exercise.

 
Typical Day:  The time I spend writing each day is by texting and on the computer using a social network and doing homework.  I am a recent high school graduate and computers have been a part of my life for a number of years. Texting has been part of my life for a few years.  I write more on a daily basis because of texting and writing on the computer.


 Successful Paper:  My most successful  paper I wrote was for a class last semester.  I had to describe what  America is.  I worked hard on the paper and used many resources and ideas to come up with a description of what America is.  I also had never thought much about what America is and I learned a lot doing that exercise. I got a good grade and the professor liked the paper.

Reflection:  This is my first experience with a blog.  I have learned there are many different ways to approach writing.  I also know that I have to work hard at this to have some success.
