personal endeavor that has a lot of power and potential to affect the writer as well as the readers. There are many things in life that happen that we cannot express into words, but at the same time, there are many experiences in life that can be put into words. Even the attempt to put what is beyond words into words is admirable and noble. There are many reasons why I write and this essay will explore some of those as best as possible. One of the reasons I write is because it is in my family. There is a history of writing and writers, formal and informal, that runs through my family heritage. I resisted writing for many years of my life, as I was interested more in mathematics and science.

I realized that these writers, my favorite writers, had such a gift. I would be so interested in what I was reading, it was like the rest of the world fell away. Once I changed how I felt about writing myself, I realized that with practice, I might be able to captivate readers in the same way. It is not so much that I am interested in controlling readers, but I am very interested in the kind of deep connection that words can foster among people who have never met and may never meet physically, but nevertheless have an unspeakable connection through the experiences, feelings, and thoughts words communicate among strangers.
