Growing up I was never a big fan of books or writing. I would cringe whenever I was given assignments to read a book that I would have to write an essay on, and always looked for a way to get out of it. I remember doing general research on a book rather than taking the time to read it. I think I continued to stay this way until about ten years ago, when I began to write reports while serving in the military. I started to learn that it was more of an art form rather than just putting my ideas down on a piece of paper. For a living, I currently write for our nation, and papers I write have the possibility of going to the highest levels of our government. So now when I write, I take much more pride into what I am doing, because I enjoy the feedback
