I feel like writing is one of my greatest strengths. I have always loved to write poetry and stories, writing papers comes very easily to me, reading books is one of my passions, and with the invention of computers I have fallen in love all over again with writing! Physically writing can be very time consuming, sloppy, and painful to some degree so when the computer came around I was very excited. When I was 5 years old and in the first grade my teacher said that I was not a good read and put me in a remedial group. This made infuriated me and I immediately started reading everything I could get my hands on so that I could make my way out of that group. I very quickly made it out of the remedial group and was put into the advanced group within just a few months. All by my own sheer motivation. I remained in advanced reading groups and advanced English classes throughout the rest of my school years. I have always felt like it was that one teacher back in the first grade telling me that I wasn't good at something that gave me the will to make myself be good at something! Obstacle overcome!
When I have to write now I sometimes get a little overwhelmed with all of the ideas in my head. It can be difficult to figure out how to get all of my ideas streamlined into a flow for writing. I try to meditate a bit before writing so that I am calm and prepared. For me, once I get into the flow it just happens and I often don't remember what I have even writing.
I like obstacles because they push me to try even harder. Whether I have to physically push myself, mentally push myself, or even push myself deeper into spirituality so that I can remember to trust in a higher source.
I think that is fantastic that you feel like writing is one of your greatest strengths. As being good at writing and loving to read are both amazing traits, I think that it will make you better not ony acedemically, but also personally and professionally. As it doesn not gome to everyone easily, you are very fortunate to have this trait. I feel like you have really overcome what youhad struggle with as a young girl. You seem like you really strived to make yourself better thatn what others thought! Congrats.
