Writing has never been a passion of mine. I cringe at the thought of writing anything that is required to be over 200 words. High school was the true test of my writing skills; mainly because I had to take the ACT and SAT with writing if I wanted to get into the only Georgia school that I thought was up to par with my standards: The University of Georgia.

Out of all of the papers, I spend the least time on paper two because I was able to write about travelling, and subtopics relating to it, with ease.
