Reflection on My Writing

I have always really enjoyed writing. I think it's a great way to express your thoughts. As a freshman it was hard for me to think outside of the box. I always stuck to the same structure of writing. I wrote most things with the exact same format and style. Now I have learned to try new approaches. But I still have trouble committing to my writing 100 percent. However, at times writing still frustrates me a lot. The worst part is when I have a lot of opening sentences I want to use and I can't pick just one. Or when I start off with one direction I want the paper to go in and next thing I know the direction completely changes. The hardest part for me as a writer would be the brainstorming. It's one of the easiest things to do, but for me it takes the longest and is the hardest.

My Hero.

My hero is my Grandpa. He died 8 years ago but he is still my hero. He supported me through everything I did. When I would get in trouble I would run and tell him, so he could get me out of trouble. He was at every dance recital or play that I was in. His funeral was packed and there were nothing but nice words said about him. People always said he was one of the nicest people in they have ever met. He always put others before himself, and was a very hardworker. In a way I hope to live my life like him. All about being adventurous anda caring.

My name is Mercadies. I am a junior at Anderson. I am on the Dance and Cheerleading teams there. I've been dancing since I was two years old and want to pursue it in college. For college I originally wanted to go to New York University or the University of L.A. My parents want to me stay close to home for two years then possibly transfer. So I've thought about going to go to Kent State University or Ohio University. Both these colleges have good "study abroad" programs. I think it would be really cool to live in a totally different place for a while and learn. I hope to go to Australia at some point in my life too.
