Journal #1

Throughout the course of my life I have considered myself a great writer. I have always felt as though I have been a step above my peers; many scholars have complimented me on my great command of the English language. For these reasons, I have been composing my own works of literature for almost five years. My mother has been my main source of support; she has always supported my dream to become the greatest writer of Western literature. While I may already be a legend in my own mind, I decided to take this class to pull away from the pack, so to speak. I wish to refine my writing skills in order to achieve this goal.
