Not A Writer- Arianna Puleo

 I don't know what to write.

I am not a writer.

Writing a story or a blog post without a topic requirement is not easy.

It's like trying to find my way to somewhere new without directions.

It's near impossible.

My strong suit is math.

My strong suit is science.

My strong suit is Russian.

My strong suit is singing.

My strong suit is volleyball.

But it is not English.

Sometimes I wonder how I made it into Honors English

Sometimes I say to myself,

"It's because you try."

"It's because you care about your grades."

Other times I just don't know.

So as I sat at my desk, I said to myself,

"What to write, what to write."

And then I started typing.

I typed about my struggle with knowing what to write.

And as I'm reading over my work right now, I realize,

Maybe writing comes easily to me after all.

My strong suit is math.

My strong suit is science.

My strong suit is Russian.

My strong suit is singing.

My strong suit is volleyball.

And maybe, just maybe,

My strong suit is English.
