The link below shows the actual writing I did on my blogger post about my struggles at the beginning of the semester. I put this here because I still sometimes struggle with  very same things that ailed me then. Learning how to start a paper has been a huge hurdle for me throughout my whole life.  I thought that this blog allowed me to express freely the struggles I had,  and looking back now I've never actually wrote down my obstacles in literacy the all just rattled around in my head. After I posted this blog I felt sort of relieved because in front of me were my hurdles, and no longer were they invisible, but it was almost tangible which allowed me to conquer them easier.

 "My struggles with writing all start with how to begin. That initial idea is so elusive, and I even had problems starting to write this blog. I guess its because I want that opening paragraph to capture the reader's eyes, emotions, and imagination which is very hard to do."  -Darius Ashe in "Struggles with Writing"
