Blog #7
The reason for writing a personal essay that resonated most with me is that you can learn more about yourself. I believe the same thing. Often times when I write about myself I learn (or perhaps realize) something that I didn't know before about who I am. I found Murray's advice about starting with a strong lead very helpful. We are taught this almost every year of school. Murray gives some very good examples though about how to create a strong introduction. I also like Murray's advice on voice. Many amateur writers don't realize how important voice is. Voice helps you connect with the audience and makes it easier for them to understand and read your essay.

I went with the reason of learning more about yourself too. We all have great stories that we may want to tell, but may not remember ever single detail that made the story so great. Writing to learn about yourself can bring back many of these small memories and allow you to reminisce about a great point in your life.
