Thinking back to when i was a child i only remember writing as a means to answer short essay questions at the end of a test, there was not much use other than that in elementary school. As i got older into middle school there were other reasons to write, maybe a paper or something of that sort. But it wasn't until high school that i felt i needed to know how to write, we were tested in our ability to write in different ways, like persuasive, imperative, and a couple other types of writing of which i forget. Later in high school there was a big research paper called the senior project that i had to complete, and other than that i didn't write much because i always avoided writing because i didn't enjoy doing it and had struggled doing it. I have always been fairly good at answering short essays for questions, but when it came to writing longer papers, i have always fell short, not being able to make the length of them what teachers have wanted, and when i did make them the correct length they were normally just filled with bs. I rarely use writing in my daily life, i rarely email, text or write letters unless i absolutely have to.
