Although my history as a writer is not very long, considering i am only fifteen, I believe it has definitely impacted the way I perceive writing and literature. The main pieces that stuck out to me are a creative writing assignment in first grade, a research paper in fourth grade, a creative writing assignment again in fourth grade, and personal writing piece I wrote in fourth grade, and a biography I wrote in 9th grade. Whether these pieces negatively or positively affected me I think they definitely affected the way I look at writing.

One day I really do not know why I just started writing about how the family was missing something and comparing it to a bunch of different things. Like an icecream sundae without a cherry, a car with flat tires, a dinner table with the head seat missing and many more. I guess it made me feel like these things although better with the item they can function and learn to function without them. I still think about my grandpa every day and think about how much I love him but knowing I’m always going to be missing a part of me is hard. Writing that helped me get my emotions out other than just crying and not saying anything. I just feel like that also helped me grasp that fact he was
