Abstract

This article consists of two segments, the former tells the origin of my relationship with the writing, referring to the first seasons of my life and emphasizing the contribution that my "love" for writing offered to my training and to my career and existential choices. The latter is placed in a consistent relationship with my experience. It also reflects on the educational potential of writing, paying attention mainly to the "poetry" and the "narrative" and to the contribution they can offer to humankind to cultivate his/her humanity and to build him/herself as a "person".
