Letter to my Friends

Dear Class,

As I find myself I think back and wonder why am I here? I have not opened a book for pleasure in such a long time, and I don’t write unless it was assigned. And most of all I don’t plan to become a writer anytime soon. I have no intentions as a writer, nor do I carry any traits of a writer, whatever that may be. I’m just a girl who likes to have fun whenever I can. So as I write this I recall why I signed up, was for credits, and hope that my imagination will carry me through the class.
Throughout high school as a writer I always got by with some quick 30 minute essays, and realized that yes I did have a thing for writing. So I ended up as the editor of the school news paper. I also wrote the best persuasive essays, whichever way they went. I was always asked to help write some sort of essay, and asked to brain storm with others. But as I applied to the college of journalism I realized that’s not what I wanted to do. So after three years, a few career changes, I’m still at Pima with hopes to receive a Bachelor in English.
Really as a 21, I just don’t have time to read. After a week at work I rather dance than pick up a book. Don’t get me wrong, I do read a good book when I come across one, just haven’t came by one that will sit me down and interest me. I have read books, the popular series “Harry Potter” and also “Gossip Girl.” This should give you some insight into what I do like. But I also like to read on history like “Anne Frank,” and true stories like “A Child Called It.” People have recommended “Twilight” but really sparkling vampires don’t attract my interest, but yes I have watched the movie, for free on the internet. My opinion would be it’s a better love story than a vampire one.
So really I’m only taking this class for credits and nothing more. I have thought about writing some story about my life, but I figure I have to become famous first for someone to be interested. I used to write shorts stories when I was younger, from aliens, to trips of the unknown. Yes I have a very imaginative mind, I catch myself planning escape traps at work, and creating movies in my head with the sound of the music playing in my Zune. It is very boring at work…. But as I write this I think this class was a good choice. Maybe by the end of the semester I’ll be able to put those thoughts in some sort of writing, and share them soon enough. Oh and any good books out there? I always keep an open mind about them.
