I write for many reasons but the biggest reason is because its in my blood. I simply must write. Writing is my courage, expression, sorted thoughts, and memory method. It's my etiquette side, recorded achievements, and goals. Writing is the way I evaluate myself and things around me.

I was very shy as a child. I've grown out of some of it but I have found writing as a way of being courageous. It is my brave voice. It helps me say the things I normally wouldn't because of shyness. I can express the way I feel and think. We all have strong beliefs and must stand behind them. Through writing, I am able to not only express my beliefs, but give reasons why I feel the way I do.

This gives variety for people's difference in reading taste. Everyone's stories, no matter how menial, may be of interest to some avid reader.

We should never think we have made it to the top, where we no longer have anything to do or learn. And for two, without goals, we will suddenly realize that years have gone by without accomplishing anything. All those years were as good as wasted. We need to get our goals from thought to paper,
