Me as a writer

When I was child, writing for me wasn’t a pleasure; I was always forced to write what my teacher said, a short paragraph about my last vacation, a resume of annoying book, the plot of a boring movie, the point here is that I never had the opportunity the write freely. I was always under my teacher shadow.
When I reached the age of 16, I finally found my writing independence; I started by writing my own essay about the urban tribes. That experience for me was comfortable because finally I could write about a topic I knew a lot.
After that time I could increase my interest in social issues, I also improved my way of writing. For me each paragraph seemed a master piece, because the mistakes had disappeared. However when I attempt the university the proficiency level increase: every task became harder to accomplish and then demanded challenge and responsibility.
The university has been a very hard stage because writing in other languages is very difficult but not impossible and I feel that every time I become a better student and a better writer.

for me writing in english is?

For me writing in English is a process as complex as in Spanish. It all start by identify a topic and organize my ideas.
Writing in English is huge process that can be perfectly compared with the mountain Everest climb. In both actions you need to reach the goal; in the Everest, your main objective is to reach the top of the mountain, in the writing process you need to reach the end or the conclusion of your paper. Every paragraph you write is like every step you made that get you closer and closer of the end.
But writing in English is not easily at all. Sometimes you will find obstacles like the mountain climber will find in his way to the top. In the writing process you may be block in some cases, by blank ideas, parallel to this, the climber route may be block by a collapse, In both situations the person will have to find out a strategic route to clear his way and continue with his journey, the person will have to find the best route and the best arguments the walk till the end. Because every step in the writing process, every word, every idea must be as a climber step: strong, concrete and firm in order to avoid falling into the deep.
All this aspect must be necessary to reach the conclusion of a quest, in our case, the English writing process.
