Reflective Essay: How Youth Sports Affect Girls In America

I have never enjoyed writing because I don't think I am good writer. I never want to sit down and write what ever is on my mind. English is one of my toughest subjects because since I’m not good at it, I haven’t taken the time to learn it properly, which makes it hard. In 8th grade, we were assigned a Research Paper. We were suppose to write at least 6-8 pages. This was really hard for me because I realized that I was not good at siting things or explaining things. Our teacher told us it has to be very specific and I never thought I could have written 6 pages on such a specific topic. My paper was about how youth sports affect girls in America. I got some help and I ended up getting a good grade. Thank goodness! The whole process of writing a research paper was long and boring. I felt that we should have just got to the writing part already. After the whole paper was done and graded, I understood why we needed to learn each step. I understood why we took so long on writing the paper. It was also really stressful because our teacher kept saying that this was going to be one the only things in grade book.

It takes me awhile to write because it is hard for me to take my thoughts and put them into words on a paper. Some of the essays I had to write, I enjoyed. But there was also essays I did not like at all. I don’t like to write about History. I am not good at it. I like to make things up as I go. And I can’t do that when I have to write about History. I wouldn’t say I have had a bad writing experience, but I wouldn’t say I have had an awesome experience. I hope that I will have even better writing experiences and grow in writing here at OLP. I hope I will become a better writer in my next four years. I also hope English will not be my toughest subject by senior
