It's Not Really My Cup of Tea

I’m not really a big fan of my own writing. I loathe these blog assignments, my writing is out there forever waiting for anyone curious enough to look and criticize, and it just embarrasses me to no end. But, if I had to choose my preference of writing assignments it would be personal essay. I have a strong voice in my personal essays and this tends to help me in the grading scale. I think the difference can be contributed to my insecurities of what I know and my willingness to share that with other people. I know myself better than any other subject I could be asked to write about therefore my trepidation is lessened and I feel more at ease while sharing my stories in my writing. I became an English major, not because I have aspirations to become a famous writer but because I have a love for the written word and I want to someday influence others to share this love. I can see the benefit of taking these classes to improve my writing skills, no one wants to come off as an idiot and the more I write the more I can see my own improvements. It wouldn’t make sense for anyone to send their child into a class to learn English when the teacher isn’t equipped with the knowledge to teach therefore I will keep plowing on until I am competent enough to teach and inspire.
