My first memory of writing was in elementary school. We had to write a short story about something. I don't remember what it was about, but it was short and obviously poorly written because it was in early elementary school.
The turning point for me in writing was my high school senior thesis. I wrote about Biblical end-times theories. I was studying it very deeply at the time, and I felt it was appropriate for the class. I put many hours into writing the maximum 12 pages. I ended up getting the highest grade in the class for it, and that was when I became more interested in writing. This was a strength for me because it began to form the way I currently write papers.
Writing is daily for everyone, and mostly in the form of Facebook and Twitter. These roles have helped me to communicate a point more clearly than when speaking. It has sharpened my grammar, and helped me to see other mistakes that could be made by others through the use of text language, which is a pet peeve of mine.
The most successful thing I wrote was at the previous college I attended. I wrote about the need for a new tax system in America. The instructor was very impressed by my grammar, and by the way I presented the argument for a new tax system. I spent many hours researching both the flat-tax and fair-tax to come up with the best solution to the current tax system we have. Political papers are a strength for me because I put thought into them, and see the differences in the ideas between conservative and liberal.
