Thank you. What really inspired me to do an honors contract for this class, and to take on the challenge of completing the contract on top of what is to be completed in class was because for once in my life I've wanted to test my abilities beyond what I would normally write, and to also add onto my skills of playwright. It did get stressful after some time, since I had other work from other classes to complete. However, I felt as if this was worth it because this contract basically gives away who I am as a writer and also gives me an opportunity to sell myself to the public, and to have connections with an audience beyond school.
This contract has also taught me different techniques in writing poetry. It had also made me realize that I can write just about anything without having to think too hard about it, but also a lot of revision had to be done in what I write. My plans after graduating QCC is to become an editorial journalist, a poet, and a news reporter. I am determined to break out of my shyness, and possibly gain a role of creating movie scripts for companies such as Lifetime or Tyler Perry.
The career in which I would like to persue is journalism. I believe that writing would definetely make me stronger as a person because Im more of a visual and artistic learner other than having to physically speak my mind on a lot of things. Writing has always been a source of comfort as to where I'd feel free and more expressive towards others. It has always been very theraputic for me. Also, my mother loves writing herself, so I guess it was a great skill I picked up since 9 years of age, and Im highly grateful for that skill.
I agree with you Shiann Davis, having the opportunity to show your writing could definitely open doors and could also be an inspiration for others. Unfortunately Im not a good writer but my ideas and imagination make its seem that way, but moving along I really know that with determination and having to write something for other people to read is great. What I learn was that there could have been far more books better and even worse if others could have publish their writing. After reading what you have wrote in class I was taken away from your story's. I hope you keep on writing because I am a fan and I will support you.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, Xavier. But as Shiann says, she's been working on her writing since age 9. And I know for a fact that she's worked hard this term. It's true that some people more naturally take to writing than others, but for everyone it's hard work.
