Writing Records and Helps us Better Ourselves

By Kennady Klochko

Writing is important for many reasons. It is how we as humans for centuries have recorded and transcribed our thoughts and emotions. Famous writings of all kinds have lived on long after their original writers have passed. The creation of writing or text of any kind is a fundamental part of the human experience and plays a huge role in the recording of various events, people or moments in time.

When I think about my important pieces of writing, a flood of emotions comes to mind. During high school, I was not the best writer; however; I always kept trying to improve my style and word structure with the hopes that by the time I reached college, I would be prepared. Experimenting with different word choices or sentence structures gave me a foundation to work from. During my first semester, it was difficult to adjust to the more fast-paced environment. One paper in particular gave me the confidence that allowed me to realize my potential as a writer. 

While the concept of writing deep and complex stories or reports seems like a daunting task, it really isn't when you get down to it. Writing is as easy or as hard as one makes it. The important part is that we keep trying to improve our talents and skills. Having confidence and recognizing the importance of writing is a key aspect of becoming a fluid author. In the end, practice makes perfect. Everyone should strive to better themselves through writing.
