A Beginning

It is the beginning of my junior year in high school, and writing has become one of the most important skills of my life. Not only do we write essays on demand in my literature class, but we do so in history and on the SAT too. The process of writing has already been ingrained in my head: introduction, thesis, topic sentence, example, analysis, restated thesis, conclusion. Everything has gotten harder, from the classes to the tests to the courses itself, and to life in general, as the relationship between father and son begins to transform.
