I recently had to take an English Placement exam for college next year where I learned (or rather was reinforced of my previous thoughts) that I am an awful writer. I am not saying my writing is boring, but my grammatical errors make it painful to read. After reading my results from the exam I decided I need to do something about my lack of writing skills and decided to start a blog.
Throughout this blog I plan to talk about my experiences with running, research and things I have learned about running, and also random things that I just feel like writing about. I hope I can improve my writing skills while "doing something useful in my life besides watching Netflix," which is what my dad told me this morning.
A little about me (besides the fact that I am an awful writer):
I am currently 18 years old and will be a freshman in college next year. I am on a running scholarship and have been obsessed with running since my sophomore year in high school. Because of the lack of hours I am getting at work and the surplus of vacations and hours of work my friends are getting, this summer has been insanely boring. Most of my days consist of running in the morning, then spending the rest of the day eating and watching Netflix. To make my summer seem less useless I decided to take up reading biology (my major next year) related books and now I am going to start blogging.
I don't expect many people to read this blog and in a way I'm kind of hoping not many people do. I am writing this blog for one main purpose: improve my writing skills. One thing I learned from running is that practice is essential to becoming good at something, so I am practicing my writing through this blog.
