This paper was was written about my personal struggle with writing. In this paper, I detail my earliest memories of writing which began when I was just 7 years old. These memories are part of my innocent days of writing. With little practice in middle school, I highlight my struggles with starting a paper in high school. The planning skills such as bubble charts helped organize my visual mindset and changed my negative view on writing. This turning point has led to my success as a writer in high school and increased my understanding of the importance of writing.

The main point to take away from this essay is that writing can be the most effective form of communication with self (if you are more of an introvert like me) and community. My positive experiences in high school really has helped my develop my writing skills. With writing, I can feel a positive connection with my audience as well as myself.
