This essay has completely changed the way I write. This is probably because I had a crazy English teacher the last two years, who had a plan for every sentence, of every paragraph of every paper we wrote. I can not tell you how good it felt to actually feel like I had a voice in my own writing, and not some robotic conformance to the rules.
I have also never enjoyed writing about history and this essay changed that too. With the ability to use so many more sources on a topic of my choice, I went a lot farther in depth then I had ever gone before. I was able to write about something I cared about, instead of being forced to pick a side on a topic I had no interest in. The combination of these two is created the most enjoyable writing experience I have had in a long time.
Its been a long time since I have been able to say I enjoyed my writing, or even that I was proud of my writing, and at the end of this essay I was able to say both. It let me rediscover my voice, but also my love for writing.
