The story of my writing

2019, that was a great year, I had many accomplishments in that year. Like learning how to build an Engine, learning how to do a barrel roll on a snowboard and many others. But what I’m most proud of is my writing skills. I went from being a one-sentence hit two a full writer. I started out the year writing a story about a man that couldn’t see. It started out with, “I can’t see, your face, it’s a mist that I can barely see. But I don’t need to see, to know the world’s beautiful. If you close your eyes. Just listen to the sound of the cars. Do you hear the plane over our heads? Do you feel that train? Do you smell the cakes in the shop? Do you feel how smooth this door handle is? Can you see me?”

My new beginning. I started out with nothing. But then I walked in the front doors at AMES. That changed my writing forever, I started learning sentence structure. I started asking questions like, what is this, how do I get this, why is this the way it is? This was the habit that I fell into. I was happy with the way I could write. I know that there is no limit to writing. All of the stories that I can tell. All the places I can go…

I can’t work, I can’t even cook. What do I do Mom? I’m lost and don’t know what to do. My mom said this, “ One day, you will know what you want to do. I know that’s not what you want to her, but it’s a big world out there. There are endless opportunities that will find you. Your job is to grab one of them.” I didn’t know what that meant at the time, but I know now.” That is the type of writing I can do now.

Conclusion

I found what I’m good at, and that’s not writing, but hay I know now. I can take apart and re-build engines. That is what I’m good at, and knowing what I’m good at I can dow say this. “Dad’s great at work, Mom’s great at cooking, and look at me, I’m Great at...
