Youtube's effect on student culture

Youtube's effect on student culture can already be seen in this class: Youtube is changing the way student's learn to think, feel, communicate and interact with their friends, their campus, their community, their country, and the rest of the world.

how did I learn to write?

I learned to write through my wild imagination. When I was little I used to pretend I was a famous author and would write these stories that I thought were practically novels. In actuality they were probably ten pages long and I would stop writing after my third "chapter" (3 chapters in 10 pages? really?) because I got bored. I wished that everything that was in my head could just instantly be in writing. But I had an excellent imagination and because I wanted to be an author or journalist (in between wanting to save the whales), I worked hard at being a decent writer, and trying to get the stories that were going through my head onto pages that people would want to read.
