College writing: Improving the overall quality of my life by 2 to 3%
I am enjoying college writing so quality far. At first I thought I would hate it because writing is my least favorite think to do...plus I failed the first 2 or 3 essays. But the class isn't so bad now. I like how we are pretty free in what we get to write about, and not stuck to one topic like in other classes. If I had to pick one thing I didn't like about the class it would probably be just how hard the essays are graded. I would say I have improved a lot however. I don't know if it is evident in my writing that I'm improving, but I feel like I have a better understanding of what good writing is. For example, how good writing usually shows the readers instead of telling them, and also uses good examples. I expect more of what we have already been doing in the second quarter, and I hope to keep improving my writing more and more as the class goes on.

Congratulations. You beat Dan as the first post-er here. HA!
I know you have taken a few on the chin here this semester, but just like your college essay says, you have been taught to fight through adversity. So, I admire your willingness to keep plugging away here, and getting better. You dragged your feet a little during the middle of the illustration paper, but I think you found your pace later on.
Hope the comments on the college essay helped, too. I tried to not change too much, but rather have you do it so that perhaps you can more clearly see how some improvements aren't too hard to make. :-)
Keep at it.
