This past week we were asked to write an op-ed and a letter to the editor. The assignment could not have come at a better time. From the information I learned on op-eds, I grasped that this should be something of importance and something that is going on right now. As I sat down on Tuesday trying to figure out a topic while the election returns played in front of me, I thought of a perfect topic. Regardless on who you voted for, there is no doubt this election was one for the books. It was a media frenzy and I thought it would be perfect to write about social media and this election. I enjoyed this assignment because the timing was perfect for me to be able to practice writing op-eds.
After I decided on what to write about and the arguments I could use, I eagerly started the assignment. Writing the paper was relatively easy, figuring out a topic was the hard part. Once I was able to investigative something I was passionate about and of importance, the assignment was fun to write.
