Introduction # 2: Classification Essay

Writing has always been more than a hobby or a desire for me. Writing is like breathing. I’ve kept a journal since I was very young. The entries are reflections, guideposts and landmarks along my journey. I’ve gone back through my journals every time I feel that I’m on the verge of making the same mistake, or to remind myself that a feeling can pass as quickly as it comes. I go back through my journals sometimes just to mark my progress through this life. Since I’ve returned to school I find that my writing now fills three very distinct and separate places in my life. There’s the writing that I do for school; the creative lists that I keep and sometimes, though not very often there is still the writing that I do for me.
