My Favorite Writing Assignment

For me writing has always been a form of expression and a way of really showing who I really am. I tend to have various ideas or thoughts that I can always go on long rants about but instead of speaking them into some’s ear and annoying them I tend to just write away my thoughts. Coming from a immigrant family my writing was not always the best and I often wrote the way I spoke which was broken English. But I soon come to realize that what I was saying didn’t have to be grammatically correct it just had to portray to the audience in a way that I could touch their heart. Of course grammar was necessary but I made it my goal to write to inspire not to impress. With that being said I think my favorite writing asssigment would have to be a motivational speech that I once wrote for a audience that was going through different struggles in their lives. I was blessed with the opportunity to speak in front of this group and just speak to them without holding anything back. Now to give you some context to who my audience was these kids had been victims of rape,abuse, and either battling depression or fighting to stay under a roof each night. When given the task to do this by my principal, I felt overally confused as to why me? How could a normal kid from high school help any of these middle school kids? But what I didn’t realize was that my teachers and principal had seen my ability to connect and speak in a way that inspired and spoke to others. (My goal as a child and as a immigrant had been working) The qualities that really made this assignment be better than anything that i had ever done was the idea that it was my chance to be me. Use my creation my mindset and my thoughts to convey a overall message at the end of the day. These were the same qualities that make any form of writing interesting to me……. having the power to incorporate me into a piece of writing and write something that is not judged by the way and the words but the content. Once I come across a assignment that makes me incorporate my personal touch and “love” it makes it so much easier for me to write away. In case like this I don’t need a draft or a revisit of what I wrote. I just write and then when I am finished I tend to verbally output what i have written. Now on the other hand assignments that are always hard to me to write are papers that require me to put no emotions whatsoever. These assignment made me into a robot and I just wrote away not putting any aspect of me in there. These writing took very long for me to write because I often caught myself still putting a piece of me in there. For me I would characterize these assignments as dull,boring, and emotionless.  Write to inspire write to make smiles come to life….
