I read a post about choosing a safe path instead of shooting for your dreams.

Blogging

Blogging is an excellent way to voice your opinions in a semi-informal way. It causes students to think more in depth about the issues they raise; they must support their views and provide specific examples. It also makes students more aware of how they present themselves through their writing style. Using correct grammar is crucial! If you can’t put the effort into proof reading your posts, then how can your readers take you seriously? This type of writing can be more challenging to some students. Not only do you have to back up your point of view, but also you must have a topic that appeals to your audience. It is usually the title or the topic of the post that draws in the audience, not necessarily the content. If people are interested in a topic, they are more likely to comment. Overall, blogging is a great way to learn to from a strong opinion and help students with their critical writing skills.
