My biggest challenge

Okay, so i like to talk. I love to overuse words and I know I have a big problem with gliding off subject. When I first sat down and stared at that blank piece of paper it was as blank as my brain. I jotted down a few ideas. It took me two days to decide from the ten I had which one to use. I chose the morning of my first day of college simply because it was the freshest thing to my mind.
I remember crying while writing it thinking back to that day. I sat down and just poured my heart out. I was very nervous that the subject I had picked wouldn't be catchy enough. I imagine I reread that paper a hundred times before I decided to stick with it.
My main concern about the whole paper was punctuation. It has been eleven years since I have been in high school and I had to pull out that handbook a thousand times. I must have went through every sentence and scratched out a mistake.
When i sit down to write,to me, its kinda like I am having a conversation with a piece of paper. I just write and write whatever comes into my head, just like I do when I talk. So, you could imagine, it went from six pages to, when I typed it, to just two. I had so many sentences scratched out it wasn't even funny. All and all though I think I did a good job. Hopefully, the next essay I have will be even better.
