What got you into writing?

My filipino teacher got me into writing. During grade 6, essay for me wasn't really my passion so I didn't took essays seriously. When my filipino teacher asked the whole class to write something about her given topic (I can't remmeber what was that topic, sorry).So I made an essay, and I was shocked as she chose my essay to be presented to the whole class.
