Introduction-Awareness of Audience and Voice

In choosing a piece of writing that reflects awareness of audience and voice, I felt that my 2^nd assigned blog article best did the job. We were asked to write a blog about 'community' and I chose the homeschooling community. In writing this piece, I had to choose carefully, for several reasons, how my writing would be received. First, it is a controverial topic for some people so it was important to me not to write from a completely 'narrow' perspective. Second, there are many different mini-communities within the homeschooling community and I certainly didn't wish to isolate or offend, so it was important to be sensitive to that. Lastly, my goal in writing this blog was portray the benefits of homeschooling and the rewards that come with being a part of a community that I admire, while still discussing some of the struggles associated with it, as seen here, "One of the greatest tensions that can arise in this community is a difference in ideology resulting in factions. This is common in any community I suppose considering that humans are humans regardless of where and how they commune, but it seems sadly unfortunate to have it happen in such a small, minority community that needs one another so much for success."  Audience awareness, for me, is one of the most fulfilling parts of writing and I find that I am much stronger in this arena than in other forms of writing. I really enjoyed all of the blogging assignments, but I feel like this one represents the one that required the most awareness to the audience.
