Free Writing:
I was a participant of a scholarship program which I gave up my Saturdays and went to workshops on how to become a successful college student and finish high school out successful as well. One of the sessions that we attended was on study skills. During the study skills session we did the free writing like the book talks about. I found that it is very helpful. We sat in the room and just wrote for about five minuets and then took a break we did this same pattern for about half an hour. The section that talks about the benefits of free writing I can agree with. I did half of my essays with free writing last semester and the other half without. The essays that I did free writing before seemed to get me better grades and took me less time to finish than the others did. I believe that free writing is a good thing and should be used more often by high school and college students.

First of all, I just wanted to say that I think it's really cool how you were in a scholarship program that you gave up your Saturday's for. That shows a lot of dedication! Secondly, I agree with you when you say that free writing can help improve your writing skills. When I was little I kept a journal for along time and I think writing comes pretty natural to me because of that. Just practicing free writing can help improve your writing skills even if it is writing about things you don't know or care about. It helps organize your ideas and can help you learn how to get those ideas onto paper.
