Writing is something I enjoy when it's on a topic I have experience in or when it's a personal reflection. At times I do consider writing a struggle for me because of my weak use of strong vocabulary. I tend to use simple words and rarely use words that require a dictionary or thesaurus at my side (keep in mind these are the two best materials ever made). Although, I know for a fact that I can organize my writing. Meaning I can put writing in a chronological order from beginning, middle, and end. An example would be writing about the development of a tennis player. I would start out with the basic instructions on how to hit the ball correctly. Then I would continue on how to play competitive tennis successfully in tournaments. Finally I would describe tennis as an 80% mental game and 20% physical, (of course through out the essay I would give details and examples).
The one time in my entire writing career that I was successful at writing was my sophomore year of high school. It took place in a world history class, along with an intimidating, strict teacher. Our assignment was to write a 5-7 page paper on the Palace of Versailles. Starting out on this paper I had no understanding of what or where the Palace of Versailles is. Two weeks go by and the teacher has graded the paper and to my surprise he gave me an A+. He makes a huge seen about it to the class saying "see class this is what your paper should look like!" I felt like a queen for a day.
