I am writer (original)

I am a writer

As a child growing up in Aracataca, Colombia, education didn't seem to be one of my strong points.

My parents did little to give me guidance in my school time. I was not forced by my parents to read or write

much when I was younger. Despite my father always advised me to read comics. He said that it was a good

way to improve my writing at school. Nowadays I think, it was the best advice I had ever had.

When my family and I moved up here to Barranquilla, I attended San José institute. My parents thought

that at san José, my level would improve and I would pass my previous academic level. A part of this was

true. My academic level did improve greatly but the school didn't challenge any of its students. That would

 later change when I came to “liceo Nacional” where I finished my college.  Liceo Nacional, gave me a

demanding curriculum which made me challenge myself and that forced me into becoming a better student

altogether. My writing did suffer because of the lack of experience I had in the previous schools. I remember

one of my papers that I wrote for Mrs. Rojas´s class. It was about my time in Cartagena. It seemed as if my

writing was the equivalent of sixth graders . This paper had made me feel stupid as the level of my

classmates were really good.

The next two years for me were a tremendous step up from what I had written the previous year.  After I

had learned the writing process, my compositions had a more elegant style.

I believe my writing had shown a great deal of improvement since my time at Liceo Nacional

Over the years I've seen my writing improve exceeding my expectations.  One thing that I've learned

through my writing is that many people may find it lacking in numerous ways, but I am positive that my

writing came from all my experiences along my life that make me feel  glad  with my work.
