I personally do not really consider myself a writer, in my past writing classes if I had the opportunity to finish a project other than just doing an essay I normally chose to do that. For example, in my senior year we could; write a response to the readings, draw a detailed picture, or create a short film retelling what you were assigned to read. I normally chose the picture, I honestly am not sure if I am just not a writer or just plain lazy. In the past I used to struggle with getting my ideas flowing throughout a paper so just to avoid having that problem I just chose whatever I had to not to write. I think that whether or not I decide to write was all based on whether or not I enjoyed the topic given. I think that my writing abilities all depend on what I am given to write about. As silly as it seems, whenever I had free range to write on anything I wanted I struggled just due to the fact I could not think of a topic in which my ideas would flow from. I came from a school with a very strict English teacher, who I felt was just ridiculous with the way he decided to grade our work, I blame a lot of my unwillingness to write on him. The teacher just simply discouraged me from writing because of fear my grades would simply drop.
