My issues paper went pretty well in the end :) I couldn't be happier!
At this point I would like to share my brief history of... DUN DUN DUN... research papers.
In high school I had a writing teacher who really didn't favor me. It was unfortunate enough that he disliked me at the start, but then it was even worse when I gave him reason to. Let me explain.
During the final months of the class I was taking from him, I found myself very consumed in the school production I was involved in. This was right around the time that we were beginning research for our papers. I found myself waking up in the morning, going to school, coming home, showering, eating food, heading back to the school to do my hair and make-up, PERFORM, and then come home and attempt any homework into the late night hours. Needless to say, there were days my homework wasn't very good, and there were days more homework wasn't very, done. He knew my situation and tried to work with me, because I literally had NO time. But it was just kind of an awkward position for everybody.
Once the play was finished I found myself very much involved in my studies, unfortunately, I had fallen a little bit behind in my writing class.
It was kind of forced procrastination if you ask me.
ANYWAYS. in the end, i did poorly on my research paper. I felt like my teacher didn't give me any good reasons as to why I had receive the grade I did, and so I made the judgment call, "I must be a bad writer". I believe it too.
So, approaching our research projects for WRTG 150 Honors.....Oh ya, i was scared out of my mind. But guess what? I was determined! Determined to prove to my previous writing teacher, my parents, my friends, but really all in all to prove to myself that I COULD WRITE.
Well folks? I CAN WRITE.
If I put my mind to it, work hard, and give myself sufficient amounts of time, I CAN WRITE.
(Jess? You can do it. =] )
