Why I write
For me I personally sympathize with Joan Didion. She said that she imagine somethings and she continuously develops things through those mediums. For example, she thought Charlotte Douglas as her medium at first stage. Through medium ‘Charlotte’, she gradually figured out other things such as situation that Charlotte is in and peripheral figures around Charlotte. I jot down my thoughts unconsciously as well. When the idea that I want to write strikes my mind, I write that down on my paper. Then like I already know the answers, I can write all the things automatically. There are several reasons that people write: sometimes a person writes something to condole oneself because of the bad moments that were occurred to him or her; sometimes it is for their beloved; or it is for school. I have been writing down essays, letters, and journals for very various reasons. In the past, I wrote down letters because of my ex-girlfriend in Boston or I write journals to encourage me from serious depression since I easily get depressed. However, the strongest reason that makes me to write is for school and my goal. To get into good school, I inevitably have got to write good essays. As long as writing is the task that shows one’s level of intelligence and perspective about their lives, most of good schools require students to have good writing skills. Also for good grades, writing good essay is necessary especially in my major sociology, so I always try my best to write sophisticated and decent essays. For writing a good essay, I always try to find out rightful vocabulary words in contexts and memorize great amounts of useful words. Although not always these attempts are directly coming through, there is not more thing that thrills me than the professors’ compliments which praise my writing. Moreover, for community colleges’ students, always transferring into good school is their highest goal. Therefore, their grades are always important and by writing good self-introduction letters, it is always important to give good impressions to good schools. Among the reasons that I brought up above I prefer to write for school grades and getting acceptance from good school. However, depending on each person’s perspective, the reason for writing varies. Although It is hard to say people write with the same purpose that I have, I think people mostly write for their life goals. For example, getting acceptance from good school or being employed by good company. So do I. I want to transfer to UPENN, write a good resume and get a good grade from good writing essays is essential. Hence, I practice writing and I am so obsessive with sophisticated and decent essays.
