The Freedom of Writing...

I am a writer, and I have to use my skill for freedom of expression, not a requirement to graduate....

We have a project in English about composing writing compositions. And yes, there are RULES to be followed. As a writer, I feel offended. WHERE IS THE ESSENCE OF FREE WRITING? I mean, I myself would not pass just for me to have a high grade in that class. I should use my writing skills (since I can feel I have excelled in that particular macro skill) in things that are truly important. OK, I'm not blaming my English teacher on why she gave this type of project (She's the teacher; she can give any project she wishes. And, also, whether I like it or not, I have to do it still.) Maybe I'm just a little disturbed (about the fact that I'll be using my writing talent for a P-R-O-J-E-C-T)...Or so at least I think I am... I believe that using your skills for something that is, in many ways, "unnecessary", is an insult to you. Think about it: Would you use your drawing skills for vandalizing walls? Would you use your singing talent to sing about something that the masses don't want to hear? Would you use your knowledge in leadership to be corrupt? I don't think so. No one in their right mind would do such.

Oh well, it's another entry of opinion. At least, in my perspective it is.
