Writing, college, and education


          Writing..........What do I think of writing?  I really don't know what to think of writing, and I don't even know if I like writing, I never had a chance to really dive in and enjoy it. My only experience with writing was in high school and that experience seemed to always make me feel nervous, rushed, and completely unprepared. I always waited until the last minute to start anything, and scrambled to get it finished the day it was due. In fact, a lot of times I didn’t even start a paper until the day it was due. I was notorious for trying to write papers in my study hall. I wasted so much time, doing nothing back then! This was completely my fault, I procrastinated! I am happy to say that I have changed my procrastinating ways from high school, but my life is completely different now, I have a family, and a full time job, so procrastination is not an option, and neither is failure.
        I decided last fall to enroll in college. There were many reasons why I decided to enroll. One of the reasons I enrolled is because I need a degree to further my career with the company I work for, but the biggest reason is I wanted to show my children how important education is, and that if you work hard and believe in yourself , you can accomplish anything. I hope someday they follow in my footsteps and go to college, and have a successful career doing something they love to do. I just hope they do it 12 years earlier than I did.
