Why Am I Doing This?

I'm an introvert and a perfectionist.


I have to make this clear in the first place, so you may be able to understand what does maintaining a public blog mean to me. It means sweat, anxiety and endless revisions behind each post. Although I have been keeping a diary since 5th grade and relied heavily on writing to organize my thoughts and my life; for a person as introverted as me, writing for oneself is vastly different from writing for an unknown audience. Therefore, this blog foreseeably would be a challenging and time-consuming project. But why am I doing this? The short answer is that this is a required assignment for one of the education classes I am taking this semester. In fact, I have wanted to set up a personal blog/site for a long time. I enjoy reading, writing, and engaging in intellectually challenging conversations and debates. I have things to say about the world around me that might be worthwhile sharing. Although I am a very humble person (in other words, not very confident) when it comes to my writing and intellectual abilities, I want to take advantage of this opportunity to start something that might evolve into a challenging but rewarding project. So here I am.
