    In the past years I believe the one writing assignment that has had a large influence on me was my autobiographical letter. It made me take a look at my future as well as my past. I got to analyze important events within my life that changed me. I have been asked to write a lot of persuasive pieces, which seem to be the easiest to for me to do. That situation seems to apply to writing opinion pieces for me too. It’s just easier to write about something that you’re passionate about. I haven’t gone off and done writing on my own though. I honestly don’t think that writing my feelings down helps me at all. I think the reason that writing is a required part of the traditional academic skill set because it helps make us more creative and let loose with things. I’m not sure what there is that teachers could do differently. Although, I do think that teachers could be a little more lenient on the topics that students get to choose from, because like I said before it’s easier to write about things you like. Also, instead of just learning grammatical errors we should be taught different ways to attack a certain prompt.
