Now I go to the Writing Center and every tutor has taught me some rules that I did not know before.

I still not a perfect writer but as I look back at another essay I have done I can see the mistakes easier and know how to solve them. Now I learn that using outside resources are convenient for me because I still don’t know all the rules of writing. I think through time I will gain more knowledge and be a great writer.
