When reading this assignment, I struggled to decide which family member or friend I wanted to write to. I ultimately decided to write a letter to my older brother Nick, who goes to Auburn. My brother and I are very close, and text or snapchat each other almost every day. This made writing a letter to him very difficult because I am just not used to sitting down and writing my thoughts on paper. It was difficult to determine what exactly I wanted to write to him, and I struggled to find the right wording. I finally just had to start writing and realize that I could say whatever I wanted to say, and that nothing was going to be “wrong”. Ultimately, letter writing was a positive experience for me. I am excited for my brother to receive my letter because I feel a letter is far more personal and sentimental than a text. I am encouraged now to eventually write letters to all of my family members and friends because they are a thoughtful keepsake that can be saved and cherished forever.
