Why I Always Write With a Pencil

Why I always write with a Pencil

By: Zoey Anderson

I have written many essays while being in school, and I've always used a pencil. This is why using a pencil is the best option to use to write your next essay.

Unlike pens, which are permanent, pencils erase easily and quickly. The graphite in them is quick to rub off of skin, clothes, and other surfaces. If you make a mistake, you can just erase it! But with a pen, you need a brand new paper. Pencils are also more environmentally friendly because 80% of them are made of wood rather than plastic.

Pencils can also be found anywhere. You won’t have to worry about your pen being dried up or your chromebook not being charged. Pencils are one of the most popular writing supplies, which is why you can buy a pack of them at your local drugstore for $3-$5. Although pens look neater, you can always go over your pencil with a pen.

When writing a paper, you want your ideas to flow together and look smooth, and you can achieve that by writing with a pencil. Although pencils may need resharpening, you never have to worry about it being out of ink or not working correctly. If you’re going to type your paper, you need WiFi. Do pencils use WiFi? No! Do pencils need to be recharged? No! Always go for the safe option. Use a pencil.
