Response and feedback

It has been a tuff time for me and my writing. I just don’t get it sometimes I think I have an “A” paper and then the instructor tells me it is not what she or he was looking for and my paper needs some adjustments. The problem I have I have good ideas and good thoughts but a lot of errors that distract the reader from how good the paper actually is. I had a instructor that tried her best to help me she loved my papers but I had a lot of errors where I had fragment sentences or run on sentence I even had problems with punctuation and miss spelling. She said it was a good paper I just needed to fix the sentence structure and correct the mistakes it would be a great paper she told me that it was very amusing it made her laugh and she was able to get into the paper a little bit, but she had to stop to correct my mistakes she had a lot of good things to say to encourage me to work harder to do a good paper. Writing is not my best subject for the longest growing up I hated typing and doing papers, I would rather write it on a notebook and turn it in. A lot of teachers told me that I have a wild imagination that I should use it to put in the papers. I have received a lot of good feedback that will make me a better writer

Drugs

Growing up I was always told to say no to drugs and it seemed like the right thing to do, my friends and I use to talk about how dumb getting hi was we thought it had no good intensions and it was just bad; but, that was at age ten. As we grew up drugs started to become normal and my friends didn’t think it was stupid any more, they didn’t tell me that they were using but I started to signs I didn’t know what it was leading to because I was to young but know that I think about it there parents should of caught it. Some of my friends started to miss school a lot they were constantly tired they stayed out all night hung around the blocks and before I knew it my friend that use call drug attics stupid know were drug attics there self know. I wish I saw this coming because I think I could have talked them into getting help because now there life ruin. Drugs are all around and so easy to get a hold to that anybody family is at risk. If you can see the traits of drugs in anybody you care for you should have a talk with them and you can get those help before it is fully blown out and there too far gone with drugs that they don’t even want help. That why it’s good to always have a conversation with your family or friends to if they are suffering from anything in their life.

In school vs out of school writing

When I get a writing assignment in class it is very hard to write in class my mind wonders and I cannot focus or concentrate or what I need to be typing. When in class it is more distraction in a class and all I want to do is get out and I can’t focus on what I need to be doing. You would think that I would take that time to ask the teacher for help or assists but I don’t do it because I cannot think of anything at the time I know I need to break that habit and stop being such a procrastinator but it is so easy to get sidetracked and put things to the side and say I am going to get to it. When I do papers at home it is a little easier for me at home because I start to think and when I get started it is like I am in a zone and nothing can distract me. I get hard because when I hit a wall and can’t remember information I need for the assignment I don’t have a teacher. Even when I have the requirements for the paper some stuff I just don’t understand but I still like working at home where I have piece and quite, a place where I can turn on my music ad just relax and take my time and even come back to it if I need to but I try to get it out the way so I don’t have to worry about it later

The Third person

Writing papers was never my favorite I always struggled with it. As I wrote more papers I started to get better at it and then my teachers wants to change the formula on how she wasn’t it to be done. I thought that the change was great timing being sarcastic I just got how to do papers now I got try a new way on how to do a papers. The changed was writing a story in the third person, that wasn’t a problem for most of the students they grasp on it quite well. I know it seems simple and I sound slow but it was hard for me to write a story and express my feeling without saying what I feel and believe. I really struggled with that assignment for a while I could not grasp that writing formula. I could not write a paper without saying I believe or what I think about an article or paper. After having a lot of patients with me my teachers had to just go own and told me if my paper wasn’t in third person I would have to take an “F”. It surprising how you get something when pressure my papers were not perfect but they were in the third person and I finally had grasp the concept. I don’t really like challenges and like everything to come to me right away or I will give up. After experiencing that I had a good feeling about myself that I worked hard for that “A”.
