Challenges Faced While Writing My First English Essay

Trying to figure out what to write about was by the far the hardest challenge with my paper. When I sit down to write its always hard for me to get started although, once I get going the flow stays pretty steady. While attempting to write my essay I started asking people who knew me the best what to write about. My mom threw out some interesting ideas...but....none of them really caught my attention. I ask my classmates what they were writing about and actually Rachel gave me an idea. At first she was going to write about a first date. The date scenario triggered my thoughts back to my own boyfriend. You know, to be totally honest I thought the idea of a perfect man was cheesy at first, so I skipped it. But, it just kept coming back up again and again so I settled on it!

I really enjoyed reading other peoples blogs. Most of the ones that I read were interesting and I could relate to their topic. Its funny because I think that I gained a little bit of confidence in my paper by reading others. When I first wrote my paper I was scared that it was not detailed enough for a descriptive essay but, the more I read of everyone else's...my paper was right there with theirs.

When I looked at the posts about my own paper I felt that I had written a good essay. Everyone who commented said they enjoyed the essay and that my purpose was apparent. Of course I knew there would be grammatical errors because I always have them..but on topic I thought I did great! :)
