As I stood erect in front of my Creative Writing class, I began to read one of my writing assignments to my classmates. Having everyone's' eyes and paying close attention to a world that I was creating in their minds, I noticed a chain reaction as each student slipped off into attentive silence. At the conclusion of my paper, my peers instantly showed me their appreciation by applauding. Those applauses opened my eyes to an addiction that led me down the path of a writer.
Pleasing an audience was the obsession for my soul, which helped me, walked the adventurous path of becoming an author. Becoming interested in different methods of writing in school was my firs major step in becoming a great writer. These methods from famous authors, taught me many techniques to use in writing stories and poetry. My basic knowledge of my talents and methods helped build a permanent format in my mind as a reference when creating a story or a poem.
Being comfortable in poetry also enhanced my talent for manipulating words in any writing assignments. This ability helped make my poems very deep and creative, gave my stories life. Most of my poems have more than one meaning for the reader to find each time they reread my words. Because I am comfortable with poetry, I have an easy time understanding old poems from famous poets and try to use their methods to build my writing style to a whole new level.
After studying different methods for writing stories and having some experience in writing poetry, I felt comfortable with my talent for words that I had some of my work published by entering them into poetry contests. I think these contests are frauds since my poems are always made to the semi-finals even though they are much better than the poems that won first prizes. After I kept o getting semi-finals notice for my work, I decided to push my talents for words to its limits, by going out and learning the world. With experience, education, and talents for writing, I know any future writing from that point on will make it to first place.
