Learning to Write in 148 words

All through my school years, I had a problem that can be best summarized as “extremely short attention span.” This proved to be challenging when I was forced to sit down and write. For one, I couldn’t sit still for longer than a minute and a half at a time. Second, I couldn’t think of anything but what else I could be doing. As a result, I didn’t actually learn how to write until my senior year of high school. By this point in my life I had settled down a bit and I was in an English class that I actually enjoyed. With the development of a little bit of self-control, self-motivation and some gentle nudging from my instructor, I learned how to produce clear, concise, well-written work.
