"There is no motivation higher than being a good writer"- Tom Wolfe

Being a good writer, in my opinion, is the ultimate path to making yourself heard in this world. If you can write well, you can challenge, you can think, you can put down ideas on the cemented, tangible, real canvass of paper that eyes upon eyes will read and actually think about. People talk about things more than in any other form of communication, but the written word endures longer on paper than does the spoken word which vanishes into the cold depths of memory. So much of our life revolves around writing- papers, college essays, job applications, speeches; the list goes on. We have been taught to present ourselves and who we become through the ink of a pen. Our journey through life sometimes can be started by just a couple of words, scrawled into the digital medium. Writing has a firm foundation in my own way of thought, and I think it leads to so much more. You just have to harness it.
