The Definition of Blog

Definition of blog (n): a website that contains a personal journal with reflections and comments from the writer.

The whole idea of blogging is truly ironic. Why would someone, post a personal journal or diary on the Internet for anyone to see? Well, this blog will expand the definition of blog because this isn't a diary, its a site where I'll rant and rave about all the fun and exciting elements of English.

I love to write. 

There is no better way to express yourself. With writing, you can pour out your deepest thoughts, then look back on them, and reflect. The fact that writing is so universal, (even though it comes in numerous forms and languages) it has been used since the beginning of time, makes it all that much more interesting. Who created the act of writing? Why did they write and not speak? Those, along with many more are question to that come to mind, when I think of writing.

Reading, is one of those things that varies depending on mood. A book or magazine won't help you express yourself or give you an opportunity to look and think about how much you've grown. But, it does give you the chance to escape. Get away, from your worries and focus on the character conflicts. For me, reading helps you in many ways, but that doesn't always mean that I'll read. I'm told by parents, teachers, and those-really-weird-friends-we-all-have-that-for-some-odd-reason-the-like-to-read-and-use-a-wide-vocabulary-because-they-think-it-makes-them-look-smarter-but-it-doesn't that reading truly makes you smarter. All I can do it trust them on that one!

An English class has more meaning to it then the usual, reading, writing, and studying literature but, fundamentally the building of understanding people as well as speaking clearly, using a vivid and descriptive vocabulary. English is a four-year requirement for college students because English includes the basic structure of language arts, which is crucial for going to the next level of schooling, where you can then build on the already high level of English, to then expand and grow to pursue a career. I took Honors English because that was my attempt to one-up my classmates and have that advantage on them. To be the one that turns out successful and swimming in money because those goals, are goals that is are a nice picture to keep myself focused on me because as H. Jackson Brown Jr. said " If you're doing your best, you wont have any time to worry about failure."
