Grand Finale: Why I Write

Writing serves a purpose in every form it takes. However, each person has his or her own unique way to write the way they write, whether it is just an inspiration that pops in the middle of the night, or just because they love too. Many write to just simply write for the sake of it, while others write because they are told to. I, myself, have a different view to why I write. Why do I write the way I write?

I write to inspire a new generation, to the ones that comes after me. I write so they can explore my ideas, to create or discover their own. I write so that there will be past memories of me. I write to make history. I write to conquer up new ideas. I write to express my feelings, to just "spill it out." I write just because I want to and no one forced me too and that is where my true inside comes out.

I write the way I write because English is my second language and sometimes you just never know what you might discover when you write. I write because I was able to realize where I am weak at. I write because I want to be better. I write because I want to correct my mistakes. I write because most of the time it comes from the heart; it has meaning and not just words. I write because words have an impact no matter what form it takes.

I write because at times it is required for school assignments and I had no choice. Even then, I choose to write it my way and it make it my own and no one else. I write to be unique and to stand out from others. I write because I believe in many things in life. I write because I believe in hard work and perseverance and the outcome that might lead me to. I write because I want to prove a point. I write to remain neutral in a controversial debate. I write to take a stand. I write so that my writing can be VISIBLE and not invisible compare to everyone's.

I write for my friends and family. I write because I enjoy to send letters, emails to long lost friends and distant family members. I write because it is a lot of fun. I write because it is exciting and nerve racking to read what loved ones have to say. I write because it is old school and I want to go back to the olden days. I write because technology has changed our ways of communication and the special connection writing brings to each one of us. I write the way I write because this is who I am and it is the only way to express my true self. I write because I am Hannah Ho.
