Personal Essay

Out of the three essays we have written for English 101, my favorite has been the personal essay. In a personal essay you not only write on just facts but, you write on your personal experiences and feelings. This would be using pathos, showing emotion towards what a person is writing about. In my personal essay, I wrote about the state championship ring that I received the Christmas of 2009. It is very easy to write about because of the emotion I felt when we won this award. I was completely overwhelmed, surprised, and happy as hell. I did not think I could even feel the certain emotions I felt that day. I ruled the world, it seemed. I know we deserved it though, because of how much effort we had put into practicing and making our routine perfect. I am not going to say that i never got tired of it, because I definitely did, almost to the point of giving up or quiting, but in my heart I loved every minute of it. Performing in front of large crowds is what I love doing and this was the perfect time to show everyone what I love doing.
