Bud Kennedy
I enjoyed hearing columnist Bud Kennedy speak in class on Monday. I feel he gave us some great tips for writing. Also, he presented some issues in writing a column that I had not thought about. I am glad that he told us that even though he is free to write whatever he wants, it is not as easy as one would think. He writes what the people want to read, not necessarily what he wants to talk about. I am one who thought it must be wonderful to have the privilege to write about any topic you want. I realized when I had a choice to write about anything I wanted to in class, it was difficult. It was hard to narrow ideas down. Writing something that you think others would like to read and something that I would not mind writing, is a complicated task I realized.

Finally November!!
I am so happy that it is November. November is one of my favorite months because of Thanksgiving! It is the one time when I know the entire family will be together; when the family is all together we are ensured to have a wonderful time. Also, I enjoy that it is a short week for school because everyone is already in Thanksgiving mode. The best part is when we come back from the Thanksgiving break the semester is practically over. Everything is down hill from that; I am excited! We have 31 days until the end of the semester and 21 actually class days left; I am on the countdown!

Halloween
Having a new costume for school was so important and a must in elementary school. I always wanted the latest or most popular costume. I can remember every costume I had in my earlier days. Out of all of my costumes in elementary school, I enjoyed my second grade princess costume the most. First, every little girl wants to feel like a princess. However, on my way to my aunt’s house, this guy in a van, glanced in the car and saw me dressed in my costume and my cousin’s costume (who was dressed as a devil). The guy got on his CB Radio loudspeaker and announced that I was a princess and he was a devil. I felt special because everyone on the highway could hear. Thinking back, it is funny how the smallest things are sometimes the most memorial things.

3 types of writing options
Out of all of the opinion topics, I enjoyed writing the commentary the best. I enjoyed writing the commentary, because it was something that I personally experienced. It is a good feeling to write something that you feel so passionate about.
