So I'm a senior in high school and I'm attempting to get some of my core classes for college out of the way that I can so I'm taking Writing 121 right now. I've been in Honors English all my high school, mostly because of my reading and analysis skillz but I completely and totally suck at writing. D's all through last year, I got a C on my last paper and was content with my life.
I took Writing 121 mostly so I wouldn't fail hard when I got into college. Our first paper was a narrative piece on a place that you've been too. I decided to write mine on Kumoricon because I couldn't think of anything else. I got it in on time and was worried until my teacher started talking about some of the papers that were really good. One of the ones he mentioned was mine. He said it was really interesting and I did a wonderful job describing it, he felt like he was there when he read it.
So I got a fricken' 85 on my first college paper. That's like an A for high school grading.
So I thank Kumoricon for making my life awesome and giving me ideas that make me seem smart.
