Introduction

           The reason I chose this topic is because it is the thing I know most about. Me! How much easier can it get. I struggled with choosing a topic because I like so many things. I have lots of family and friends. I like animals, music, books, writing, cooking, baking, walking, nature, and the list could go on. By choosing the topic ‘This Is Me’ I can cover all of these things. I can have so much more to talk about and my supply of information is not as likely to deplete quite so quickly.

            ‘This Is Me’ will reflect who I am as a person. I can share the things I like to do and also some of the things and people in my life. It will give me a way to tell about different aspects of my life. Such as my love for horses and my dog, Copper. As well as the days in the fall when my sisters and I bake holiday goodies with my mom. I can go into how music lifts me up and encourages me when I’m down or how when I write I feel like I can escape my own problems and pretend I’m living somebody else’s life for a while.

            Starting a blog was not my idea of a good time, but the more I think about it the more excited I become. I get to tell people about me. I do not know how far this will go or even if it will ever leave the small class it originated from. The thrill of writing and knowing that people are reading it makes me want to write to the utmost of my ability. I may not be the best writer out there, but I enjoy it. I like writing in my journal, even though I’m not very good about keeping it up, and I love writing stories. Something about writing just makes me happy.

            I pray that this blog may in some way inspire and encourage others to write. Writing about yourself is very intimidating, especially for me. I like writing stories where someone else has some of my problems, but where no one knows that it is me. No one wants anyone else to know that they have problems or that they struggle with things. I believe that to be a truly great writer one has to write about what is closest to them. Whether it be about you or a family member or a personal experience or just something that you really enjoy. This will be the struggle yet at the same time, the joy of writing this semester. Trying to write in a way that shows transparency.
