Most people who know me would expect me to say that I am passionate about tennis. This is not true. Being passionate about something to me means that it's just so important to you that you can't picture yourself without it. I am actually really passionate about writing. I really like words, and putting my thoughts into something that people can understand and relate to, because everyone is just looking for words that make them feel less alone in the world. That's why I read. I relate to the words, and I feel understood by the author. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be doing to become what I want to be, but I think I want to be some sort of writer, maybe even a photographer for a magazine. That would make me so happy. It's ridiculous that I want to do these things, because I've been confused for the longest time with what I want to do when I get older. The tools from last semester, such as the essays we wrote, and our vocabulary lists could both be extremely helpful in writing. I write practically every day, I just don't tell anyone. So sh. To "feel the awesomeness", I'll just need to do anything to get an A. A's always make me feel like I did everything correctly. I think just letting people read the things I write down could convince people that I can write and write things that are relatable to others. That's all writing is really about, to me. Writing what could make other people feel understood in their heads, because that's all anyone really wants. Is to be understood. Well, I definitely DON'T want anyone to read anything I write down. But I think that some of the essays I write are decent enough to show to people to get to where I want to be. Not sure what this means, but my friends will probably be the ones I ever let read my words, so they'll be the critics of it all.

That was my previous ideas regarding the questions we answered, but I don't really feel like the idea I have now connects with what I want to do with myself in the near and distant future. But then again, I didn't know how to connect those two in the first place. What Bailey and I decided to do with ourselves is take our favorite, most relatable books we've read and analyze them like we would any AP listed novel. A lot of people might be like "woah that's a lot of work" or "why would you want to read MORE?", yeah, we like to read ok? I think it might be sort of fun anyway. It's like telling people about your passions and beliefs, but not directly, since it's someone else's books, and someone else's words. But it's a start to using my own words and speaking my own beliefs.
