My hate relationship towards writing

Writing is probably the only subject that I dislike, honestly, for no apparent reason. I will only write if I have to, like right now! For me writing is not difficult, but I would much rather do something else. If I set my mind to writing a piece, I can create something that is spectacular, that will grasp the audience with proper diction and rhetorical strategies. Some of the papers I have written in high school received the highest grade in the class, which is kind of ironic because like the typical high student I would write my papers several hours before it is due. I hated my English teacher for my senior year in high school. Both of us having a strong hatred towards each other, I really wanted to tick her off. So for my final I chose a topic debating why teachers are overpaid, haha. When I discussed the topic with her I can see she was furious with me, but she could not do anything about it because it was a valid topic. It was probably one of the best feelings I have ever had, knowing I really got under her skin. My grade for that paper was an ‘A’ surprisingly; even though she was against my topic she graded me only on my writing.

The role of writing in my future is non-existent; once I finish my BS in CS I want to go to another University for a dual degree in mechanical and electrical engineering with a minor in business. With that said writing is not really used in the field I am heading towards. I understand everything involves writing but probably the writing I will be doing is going to be based on my future and my career. The only time I think I will be writing something major and highly important would be my dissertation for my PhD. This scares me a little, because looking at my father’s dissertation, which is about 158 pages long, makes me not want to do it. But, because it beneficial for me and for my future, I kind of have to if I plan on achieving my goals in life. Relating to how I only write something if I have to, I still have many papers that I will force myself to write, only to become successful.
