A essay I have read was written to me from a professional football player, Tony George. He was a athlete with type 1 diabetes just like myself. it had a great influence on me. In the essay he pointed out little things and the big things that I would need to be a successful athlete with Type 1. He said for all its not possible but with the right effort and being responsible I could make it to the big leagues just like any other athlete. it has taught me how to be responsible and work hard even when nobody it paying attention to you or looking. The part that touched home for me was how he could connect with me and the challenges I am faced with over a normal person. Instead of telling me exactly what to do and how to do it, he offered me different ways of thinking. He let me decide which option is the best and how I go about it. He told me the things that would most likely happen with what I choose, but always said it was my choice even if they were so fortunate.
Out of the SOAPS, I think that Purpose is by far the most important. If you do not have a purpose for writing something, then why are you writing it in the first place. Even if there is a subject and a audience, if you don't have a purpose, then it would be almost pointless to write. When you go to write a essay or speech, you will always have a purpose for writing it. You may not have a audience or occasion, but you have a reason to write it.
