As expected, I have no idea what to do except read the question and write. I was force to joined because of the 50 points that out teacher will give us. I gained 50, but I was not please with my work. I think I'm not really a writer; I was not born to becoming one.

By joining you won an experience and perhaps this will lean to more wonderful learning experience. You can never tell if one is a writer with just one try out, who knows this experience may be followed by another writing contest and honed up your hidden skill. Let just cross our fingers that you 've got the talent!

Hey! Don't give up just yet! Nobody except Shakespeare is a Shakespeare! Set reasonable standards and work towards them. In time you will find you can write and will enjoy writing. Good luck!

It always work if our teachers wants us to do something in return for an incentives in our academic, really nice, but just think of the experience you have gained in that contest and you'll realized that you joining in the writing competition is not that bad after all. You can't say in final tone that you're not a writer, maybe not yet. Maybe you're not born a writer, yes, but skills such as writing can be develop you'll just have to put yourself into it if you really want to venture on that career path or if you just want it as a hobby. What you need to do is start sliding those pens in your paper and see what those creative neurons of yours will take you. Remember what they say "Practice makes perfect".

Hey eLsMarie No one is perfect from the born. Everybody has to develop the skills and ability in which they are good. It depends on your interest and passion.

No one is born to be anybody, I think... You just have to strive hard to become somebody. Writing may not be your talent, but i am sure you have other talents that you can improve.. God luck

i think everyone has the potential to write. the fact alone that you are not pleased with what you wrote means that you can do it writing is an art that needs to be practiced. anyone can write you just need to tap into the creative persona inside you.

I think I lost my motivation. I find it hard to practice because it seems like I'm no longer enjoy writing.
