In high school how I approached essays is different from how I write essays now that I’m in college. I was a lot more carefree about essays when I was in high school, and I never gave them much thought. I give a lot more thought about essays that I write now that I am in college. Since I changed how I write essays, I am able to write better-developed essays, in my opinion. How I write essays changed, from when I was in high school from now that I’m in college, in more ways than one.

When I first entered high school, I thought I knew everything I possibly could about writing essays. During my freshmen year, I made good grades in my English class, which only furthered my enormous ego with my ability to write. Moving into sophomore year, a new teacher came to North Murray High School, and I was lucky enough to receive Mrs. Kim Knight for my tenth grade honors English class. She was like no other teacher I have even experienced, Knight, from the very beginning, pushed me in absolutely everything. The first essay was assigned, and I knew I was going to do wonderful. I felt very confident in turning my essay in until she came back with them graded and gave a long speech about how many of us had work ahead, but that was good because she was going to teach us how to compose an essay. Despite the speech, I had some confidence left that my level of writing was good enough to satisfy her criteria. When I received my essay, I could barely rad it because of how many red marks took up the pages. Now my grade was not terrible; I received a high eighty, but that’s when I realized my ability to

I am an average kid who is living more than the average life i began around 15 and 3 months ago . I’m a quality guy i guess . I like hunting and fishing with my dad and friends i also like racing atv’s .there is much more about me to learn.

I was shocked. I had never experienced something this horrific. I began to think that our life as a family would be over, due to the stress, heartbreak, and sadness our family would go through in the years to come. I went online and searched spinal defect and regretfully clicked on the images, I began to ball in the waiting room. I ran straight passed my dad and went to the restroom. I stood there looking at myself in the mirror for a while. I than began to think about how my mom would feel in this situation if I was crying she must have wanted to die. I jolted out the restroom and asked my dad what room my mom was in. He told me and I began to run towards the room, many of the nurses told me to stop running, but I ignored all of them. While

Beep! Beep! Beep! Was the sound of my alarm going off this morning. It was a beautiful Saturday day today. I was so excited because my mom and my dad are taking the day off work to hang out with me. They feel that they don’t spend enough time with me, but they really always have enough time for me. I headed down the stairs to make breakfast for my parents and I. Whenever we are all together we usually have our warm, fluffy, cinnamony, frosted goodness for breakfast. My parents weren’t up yet so I thought that I would make breakfast for them this morning. I opened the cold, fridge to get the can of crescent roll cinnamon buns. My parents don’t really like to cook gourmet breakfasts much so these are always in our fridge. I cracked the container open and started putting the buns on the tray. I was about to put the cinnamon buns in the oven when all of a sudden i heard a sound upstairs almost like the sound of someone throwing up. I quickly put them in the oven and sprinted upstairs. When i made my way to my mom and dad's room, I found my mom walking out of the bathroom.

Of the three essays I wrote this term my favorite was my personal narrative. I had never put much thought into my relationship with literacy. It was a topic I thoroughly enjoyed and I think it shows. That essay was the strongest paper I wrote. I think the strength came from writing about something I know so well, myself. The other essays I had trouble connecting with the topics and it made it difficult to come up with expanded thoughts and ideas write about. I think the biggest strength I have is being able to move through each idea and connect everything together. I am a very simple and straight forward writer. My greatest weakness is my inability to put words onto paper. I have the hardest time trying to sort my ideas out and create comprehensive concepts. I can usually get the big ideas down but have trouble explaining further and breaking it down. This is most obvious in my Modern Times analysis. I did a very good job retelling the film but my own opinions were few and not as developed as they could have been. I think it could have helped if the topic was something I found more interesting because I can talk about movies all the time.

Have you ever had something happen to you that changed your life forever? Something that you will never forget. It’s something that makes you who you are whether it is good or bad to makes you special. I know it’s hard to believe that one event could change your whole life but I promise you it can. A major life changing event happened to me on July 20th, 2011. This is the day that my youngest sister Carly was born. On this day my whole life was changed and it will never be the same again. July 20th I said good bye to my old self and started taking steps to become the person that I am today.

Anger comes from many places. Throughout my past, my main critical adversary was competitive sports, baseball to be specific. In my final baseball game I learned many things about myself. There were two strikes on me in the first inning and I swung and missed on the final pitch. From that one swing I dove into a two year slump from which anger controlled my life. Accordingly, I was at a crossroad, and had a decision to make!

“They judge me like a picture book, by the colors like they forgot to read”-Lana del rey. Proving that people tend to judge without allowing themselves to give me a chance. They always go with what their eyes tell, but they should know that I'm more than what I appear to be.

From my own personal experience, I can tell you that before my birth, there was absolutely nothing. Human beings are arrogant in that way, because they believe that the sun rises and the earth rotates, for their enjoyment alone. I can safely say that I am no exception. I like to think that my birth foreshadows my life, because after all, it started with a big bang.

Going to college has reminded me how much I truly love to read. It’s also reminded me that there are some books that I cannot bear to sit through. For a long time, I only read books that I knew I would love, or that I’d at least like. I only picked up a book if it was by an author I knew, or if it came recommended by someone.

I never really thought about where my life was going. I always believed life took me where I wanted to go, I never thought that I was the one who took myself were I wanted to go. Once I entered high school I changed the way I thought. This is why I chose to go to college. I believe that college will give me the keys to unlock the doors of life. This way I can choose for myself where I go instead of someone choosing for me.

I long to be free. To be free from the metal chains that hold me down. To be free from the whispering as I descend into my empty slumber. My heart couldn’t handle the pain of the immortal whispers and figures that popped up here and there trying to help or drag me with them.

This explains the beginning of my life all the way to the end of my life. My life from the beginning was very fun as I grew up living with my mom’s friend and my friend. But there were a lot of fights and I was very hyper back then. I have ADHD so back then when I was little; I was very hyper and wouldn't stop moving around the place. I always was annoying back then and never seemed to get my homework done at school.
