Eng Comp. Fair

Today instead of having class we attended the english composition fair that was located in the Student Union Building. We listened to several students talk about their lives and favorite memories. The first student that I listened to talked about her memories throughout middle school and high school. She was very funny and even went into details about her pet hamsters. One thing that stuck out to me was when she started talking about how she fell in love with writing. She said that she wrote about everything and did not mind doing papers in school anymore. She even wrote to take her frustration out, she wrote about her basketball coach and everything she felt about him after he did not put her name in the paper for the All-American. This relates to me because I know how she feels, after dealing with my field hockey coach for four years. She hated me and it was obvious, writing my frustration down on paper definitely would of helped me. The next girl that we listened to talked about how much she loves reading. She reads her favorite books over and over again, which to me is very surprising. After I read a book I put it down and never look at it again, I feel that there is no need to read it again, I know everything that is going to happen. One thing that this girl mentioned and talked about that brought back so many memories for me is the scholastic book fairs that would come to my school every year. She even mentioned the fun bookmarks and erasers that I loved. Like her, I could spend hours in there, looking at every single book and wanting all of them. Another thing she talked about that shocked me was that she has a list of books that she wants to read, and the list right now is almost up to 150! For me, that would take years to read, this girl really loves her reading! After attending this composition fair it gave me hope that I could become a great writer. You do not have to be proper or write in a certain way, just write about whatever you want, I never thought about writing like this before, and I never really had the urge to write randomly about my life, until now.
