My best writing experience was our final essay last semester in English 101. My paper was on my grandfather who fought in the South Pacific on the USS Randolph during WWII. I truly enjoyed writing this paper because I love to study history but more importantly I learned many new and interesting facts about my grandfather that I did not know. Since my grandfather has passed away I talked to many family members and did many hours of research in preparation for this paper which made me closer to certain family member that I had not seen in a very long time. One of my most frustrating writing experiences also came last semester. Our assignment was to compose an essay by analyzing an advertisement. I struggled with it very much because I did not know how to go about writing the essay. For weeks i could only fill 1 page because I didn't know what to say about the advertisement and it frustrated me very much.

The most meaningful piece of writing for me was the essay I wrote on my grandpa last semester. On Christmas day I gave the piece of writing in a nice case to my Grandma as one of her presents so that she could see the work i had done and also so she had something else to remember her husband by. While reading she became very emotional but she appreciated it very much. I would consider it my most meaningful piece of writing because I was able to learn more about my Grandfather and share my work with my family.
