I was kidding! Let's read my perceptions about the writing process.

# data[].attributes.body
1) I really believe writing is a great way to express ourselves, it's like a self discovering, you know, the way I think of something and I materialize my thoughts and feelings through words... Writing is a right way to social communication; we can make an incredible relationship with people when we write. It's possible because there are always a lot of reasons to write: we write to someone or for something. I don't write at all, at least not always, I'm writing right now hahaha, but I really understand its importance.

2) "Write a draft, then let it rest." by Stephen King. Sometimes we actually want to see our job done and it can be a bad deal 'cause our texts aren't ready to be posted or read so quickly. Being patient is the key to do amazing things. If we write something today, we will probably want to change something tomorrow, it happens because texts aren't a done job, and that's life. Starting to write in English is going to be a challenge to me. So let's go!

Dear Dr. Smith,

My name is David Wu and I'm a second year biology major at UVa. In my introductory and upper-level coursework, I've developed a passion for science and am extremely interested in pursuing independent research as an undergraduate. An extensive research experience will greatly help me consolidate my future career choice.

I am personally greatly interested in the molecular biology of stem cells. Recently I read your 2011 paper on the role of microRNAs in the differentiation of muscle stem cells and became fascinated by your work. In particular, I found it amazing that microRNAs can alter the fate of a cell in such a profound way. If possible, I would love to start working on a long-term project in your lab beginning this summer.

Would you be available to meet sometime this week to discuss your research? I would also be happy to volunteer in your lab for a few weeks before we commit to anything to see if this is a good match. My transcript and resume are attached in case you are interested. I look forward to hearing from you!

Thank you,

David Wu

Writing is an incredible way to get to know our feelings and it is a really important strategy to tell to people about our ideas and opinions. Writing is incredibly  useful at university as well. Now we use this as students and in the future we will do it as teachers. Writing  is  extremely relevant to our professional formation.
