I know most of the time I am my worst critic, which I am sure is true for a lot of people. Because of this, I would like to take a second and talk about my writing with some positive recognition. I know I am not the best writer, but I believe that my writing really does capture my individual voice. Writing is such a cool thing for me because when I have shares on these articles, it's hard to believe people would want to read what I write. So, here is a list of some of my favorite topics I have talked about since I have started writing for Odyssey:

One of my favorite articles would have been the letter I wrote to my English teachers from high school. I enjoyed writing that one because it really brought back some funny memories from high school. My English classes were some of my favorite classes in high school, so it was so cool to be able to thank those teachers for influencing me so much.

I also really enjoyed writing about ways you know you're from my hometown. It was pretty funny for me. That article also got me on the top 100 articles in the nation, which was amazing. I never thought my own work would make it that big within The Odyssey. It was also just really great seeing people from my hometown share it and all laughing at some things that were pretty accurate.

My very first article was about why it was okay that I don't get to see my best friend all the time. I wanted my first article to make a statement and I feel like it did with the positive feedback I got from it.

The article that I feel is my favorite, is the article I wrote recognizing anyone who read it. I love when I get the chance to build other people up. I know it can be hard sometimes when you feel like no one is there supporting you. I just love helping people feel like they are worth it and can do anything they put their mind to.
