For the vast majority of my life, writing was both unimportant and a hassle in my life. I did not enjoy doing it, and it was torturous for me to sit down and write an essay. That all changed, however, when I entered high school. I discovered that writing was a way to freely express any ideas, however real or fictitious they might be. Poetry, short stories and short, opinionated paragraphs are really my favorite forms of writing. These genres of writing allow me to voice ideas freely, without the rules and restrictions you find when writing essays or papers for school. When I have many things on my mind at once, I find it helps me to clear my head if I write down some ideas of what I'm thinking about. For these reasons, I can easily say that writing has become an important factor in my life.
