Why Write? in class assignment

There are many types of art forms and one of them happens to be writing. There are many uses for writing and help an individual express themselves. Some write to say things they normally couldn't say outloud, some write in journals as a way of therapy, some write to get noticed (such as an author), while others write only when forced to do so. I think writing is a very unique way of expressing yourself whether it be through a blog such as this or a fiction story you write solely for fun. It can be very helpful in exposing one's vocabulary, practicing grammar and puncuation or researching and expanding on a new idea.
