Blogging vs Writing

   Writing. That is what teachers tell me to do. They tell me to write a story, a poem, an essay. Then, the teacher judges my writing. Judges it on a rubric against the standard student. Writing also does not allow me to open up. It does not allow people to tell people my story. Writing does not allow show a window into my life. Writing is like hiding behind what you know people want to hear.

   Blogging. That is what I choose to do. Blogging lets me show a more creative edge to my work. Yes, it is still text on a page, but to me it is a friendlier format. Blogging provides an easy way to show visuals and link to movies. Blogging allows me to put my feelings out there more. I know when people read it they will judge me, but they probably won't point out all my flaws. And if they do, they won't say them to my face (except for you Mr. Kannan).

   Blogging is more like a journal that opens a window into my life for everyone else to look in through. Writing is like a closed door.
