I never really had a knack for writing till i was 5 or 6 years old. I just lost one of my family members and was in a lot of pain and sorrow, and writing seemed to take my mind off of things like grieving and feeling sorry for myself. My first story was about "what if i never lost that one family member and was right here, standing in front of me?", that kinda change my feeling about writing. I was starting to get into romance and action style writing around 5th grade and was feeling more confident in writing. Never have i felt that i found my happy place, writing! But i was still grieving about the death of a family member. I tried everything i could to get it out of my mind, but writing seemed to do the trick every time. I still feel depressed every day of my life, and writing is my escape to happiness, comfort, and peace.

My heart ached when I read this--but I get it. I so get it. Some of my deepest and most powerful writing was in moments of grief and writing has been the cheapest, most effective therapy. There is something intensely powerful about finding your voice in your writing and using it to heal. How proud of you I am that you have done that. I am so happy to have you in class, it will be your best year yet! If you revise, talk more about action styles of writing--that sounds cool.
