Extra Credit Event- Critical Essay and Creative Writing

At first coming to this event I just wanted the extra credit and planned on just staying for half an hour. But as I continued to listen to these students writings, it amazed me on how they were able to articulate words into a form of art. The way they expressed details made you feel as if you were part of the writings. I enjoyed especially the poetry As the students continued to read I saw on what level of writing I should be at least writing. The student with the poem about Parking-lot playgrounds was really good even when she read it you can feel the passion and command she set in her tone of voice for her poetry. There was a particular quote that made me laugh which was when one of the winners said that writing is a love hate relationship. Sometimes that exactly how i feel there's so much work needed to put in which i hate but I love the chance to express myself. Also, I feel that I lack great vocabulary after hearing some of these writings. I really need to continue writing so then maybe one day I can be up there able to express and keep the audience attentive to my writing. Hopefully, I am able to use the tools that I am learning on the basics of writing can help establish a foundation in where I can even write well educated paperwork that is not only consistent but also creative.
