Why Write? (Kevin)

I think everyone should write because it is a way of expressing yourself, along with a way of learning something new. Some people write poetry, or stories or keep a journal, this is a way of expressing their feelings without actually having to tell someone. Some people find this easier because they feel like they might be judged if they express themselves to an actual person. Writing is a way to get around that, the paper will never judge you. Writing, I think, is also a way to learn new things. Take writing papers for a class, most of the topics we write about are not things that i know. It causes me to look up my information on the computer, in books, or from other people and that is how I learn something new. Take our last essay for example, even though when I do communicate with someone I do focus on their look before what they actually say, I do not necessarily notice myself doing it, but after writing our first paper I notice it a little bit more and I try not to do it as much, i try to listen more. Now even though writing is not one of my favorite things in the world to do, I do feel it is necessary to help you grow and communicate without actually having to talk to someone.
