Personal Essays

The thing I like most about writing personal essays is knowing everything about the topic. Whatever topic I choose to write about, I know all the answers. I do not have to research the topic or find any sources. I already know everything that happened. I am an expert on the topic, without trying to be. This is my favorite part about writing a personal essay.

When writing a personal essay, my least favorite part is trying to think of a good topic to write about. To me, my life is not anything really exciting. The stories are all old and no longer noteworthy. None of the topics I think of seem interesting enough to write about. In reality, my stories are interesting. Many people have not heard them, and to that person, the story is not boring. Choosing a topic to write a personal essay on is my least favorite part.
