The most frustrating part about writing

The most frustrating part about writing for me is when I start to over thing. I'll over think everything, my topic, paragraph structure, grammar, punctuation. Mostly grammar and punctuation because I can never remember things like is it then or than. I either have too much punctuation or not enough or i use them improperly. Sometimes I find myself stuck and I can't think anymore of what I'm trying to say or the point I'm trying to get across. For a while i could never figure out if I am suppose to capitalize the i's in worlds like I'm and I've but I'm pretty sure I'm suppose to so now I do. I'll get stuck at times trying to figure out if i used a comma correctly, it's where a good bit of my time goes.

The battle between love and addiction

I'm writing about my experience with addictions and what it truly means to love someone one and because of this I don't believe you truly love someone if you can't stop your addiction or stop it from hurting the ones you love. I believe my father would disagree and say he loves us all very much and that "it's just hard" or "you don't understand." He thinks caring from time to time and doing things from time to time means he loves us with everything he has but he's never been willing to stop drinking for his love for us. He may love us in his own way but not enough and apparently never enough. He thinks he has done every thing he possibly could for us. I do believe it takes time, these things usually always take time but at some point it has to stop, it never does for him.

Finding freedom in forgiveness

Forgiving people can be very hard and that's what it was like for Jennifer and Ronald. Jennifer was raped by a man but when picking out the rapist in a lineup she picked out the wrong man only to realize it 11 years later. Ronald had to find it in his heart to forgive her for her mistake and Jennifer had to find it in her heart to forgive herself for her mistake and what her rapist had done to her. They were both able to find freedom in their forgiveness, remaining friends and living better lives.

The Beatles live on

In this girls family the Beatles music seems to be what bonds her family together the most and for her brings all the good memorizes. When she would take a road trip with her parents and dog they would listen to the music. One day their dog gets lost, no where to be found. What's interesting is the fathers idea to blast Beatles music hoping the dog will hear it and come home. It didn't work but the dog came home a few days later thanks to a neighbor and fliers they had put up in the area. Months later her father dies but it's the memory of his crazy idea that brings a warm feeling to her heart and a reminder of her love for The Beatles.

The art of being a neighbor

In this essay a woman talks about what it's like being homeless an having to start over. In the essay we see how hard it was for her till she began to receive help from her neighbors. She goes from living on the streets to at least a roof over her head and over time neighbors come to her offering gifts and advise to make living better teaching and sharing with her. She soon becomes very happy with where she is in life but sees others on the outside struggling just like she did. She than makes it her mission to help them and builds a better community.

6 secrets that every freshman should know!

There are 6 secrets every freshman should know for college. Show up for every class, undistract yourself, work harder outside of the classroom, talk to your professor during office hours, meet other students, and say goodbye to the high school safety net. The most important of these listed to me is to work harder outside of the classroom than in it. You'll get a lot of outside work and it's important to keep up with the work and get all of your work done for good grades. It's very important to study as well. You don't spend a whole lot of time in the classroom you don't always have time to write everything down either. You  may have to do that outside f the classroom.

So I go to CVCC, a community college and I created this blog for my english class. I'm hoping that from this writing class I become a better writer. I actually like writing. I mostly write songs but I enjoy writing other things too and I feel the better I am at writing the better my work will be. I want to improve my grammar and use of punctuation. I want learn how to catch an audiences attention, hopefully I've already done that though. I don't think I'm the worst writer but I can always be better. You can always be better at something though. I'm not a pro writer though I'm just okay but maybe one day I'll be really good.

Yo, yo, yo what's up homies it's CC with the new blog. Let me introduce you to no other than me. I guess you could say I'm pretty average. I go to college like any one else my age. I work two part time jobs at Chick Fil-A and a daycare close to home. I love music, I enjoy playing instruments such as ukulele and guitar and singing. I have a YouTube channel called CC Mignone. I like to do covers of songs on my pink ukulele. I use to enjoy art too but I don't have as much time for that anymore. Those are just the basic facts of me.
