In Jaebrias essay she writes when she was younger that writing was a challenge for her. She did not know how to start. She then got help from a teacher of hers that helped her with that problem. Her teacher told her own experience and how Jaebria can get through it. Although it was tough on her, she took it as a challenge and wanted to overcome it. 

In her essay she catches the audience’s attention by telling them what she was going through in the beginning. How she just sat there and told us what she was going through. She told us her relationship with writing and it felt like it was from the audience perspective. She put words that showed exactly how she felt at that moment. It is clear that this is what she felt. Although she had a very great choice of words it would have been a lot better if she told us more of how she felt after she overcame it and how the process was. 

 In the interview, her essay did tell us how people wanted to see her. How she understands that writing can be difficult for a person. Her tone in this essay was conversational, like she was speaking to a person that was in front of her. She also had an informal tone because she remained positive in her essay and in the interview, saying that not everyone is perfect. Not everyone gets things on the first attempt.
