It takes a lot of skill to be a good writer, some people are born with those skills and some are not. I fall under those who are not. Writing has become one of my hardest obstacles when it comes to my school career. Having been in college for only about a year I feel that my skills have strengthened and I have evolved into a better writer. In high school I did not care so much about English and the writing that was involved with it. I have heard from many peers and teachers that your hands will burn off from all of the writing you will do over the four years. I knew things had to change transitioning into college if I wanted to become a great writer.
