When I was in middle school, I was on a team called Power of the Pen. We went to writing competitions and would have to write five pages – front and back –addressing whatever the prompt was by hand and do it in under forty minutes.

This was one of the many areas that I say I did bad in. I had to learn how to rewrite and outline papers I had written, along with a way to have motivation while writing essays that you may not be completely into.

With essay one, I had to brainstorm what I was going to write about when it came to explain a process. This was one of the essays we were given that allowed us to be creative and I enjoyed writing it the most because I wrote it about my long-distance relationship. Brainstorming comes easy to me when it isn’t meant for academic
