Autobiography 
                                           First Person

What am I to do ?  What have I done ? I have just signed up for an online class, which is something I
 have never done before. This is week one of autobiography.  Have you ever just sat down and wrote nothing ? My name is Jesse Worcester and in my last English class of last semester, I was told to do so. I forget what this method was called but it was meant to make my fingers do all the work and leave my mind to zero thinking. I remember asking question after question till I finally understood what it was expected out of the class. I typed enough everyday that a couple pages was an easy to do in just a few minutes. I really liked the feeling of just typing. As I grew up, computers were in rise as well technology but my family did not like this new trend. Needless to say my life as a writer has been very bleak and small. I suppose I have just started. Last semester was the kick off for me to start. I read the directions of this course intently and my confusion rises as I ponder what it is I am going to accomplish out of the class. The confusion does rise as does my excitement for what it is I am going to be learning
 in this online class.

The sea floats as if vast concrete roads lay just under the surface giving way to the thought of the vastness of great blue depths. You, sometimes wander if you would hold footing as you walked out to the blue valley. Suddenly the mind strays from thought of what the next line should be, could be, will be ? You realize, as you think deeply to yourself "this makes no sense at all" Oh the joy of free writing as you sit writing whatever is you want to write. Thinking of past events along with future thoughts gives proper illustration to high school days where Mrs. Hayden defines the rule of English and writing. College days are the new ball game of yesterday when you did anything you liked from slacking to laughing at the silly jokes of friends you met only moments ago. Realize yet ? You are in college. Welcome to the world of vast blue were you must tread carefully.
