Who I am: Conclusion for my Writing Class (22)

For those of you who are just starting to read my blog now, you should probably go to my two beginning posts, just so you can understand how "excited" I was for this assignment. Blogs were for people who had nothing better to do with their lives other than to write and post it for the world to see. It seemed like a "follow the crowd" sort of work and I don't really care about following the crowd as far as blogging is concerned. I have realized that a change of heart takes time, but it does come as your desire to do different and be different increases. I have written many blog posts about this already, but I love that I have been able to find myself throughout the past year and a half or so. The neat thing about this blog is that it has helped me come full circle. I have learned/am still learning how to be and express myself in my writing. My personal narrative that I wrote was the neatest. I had met this guy a few weeks ago and I had mentioned to him that I was writing this personal narrative and that it was so enjoyable to write. He mentioned he would like to read it and edit it if I would like. Honestly, I was a little hesitant because in the past, I have been self conscious of my writing. But I sent it over to him. A few hours later, he sent me back an edited version of my paper. By the end of my paper, he said he really enjoyed getting to know me and my family better just through my five page paper. I think it is neat that we get to know the people around us better without them explicitly telling who they are. Instead, the description and the way that we write really SHOWS who we are. I never thought I would live to hear myself say I will continue blogging. I have to keep blogging. It's part of who I now am.
