Question of the Day: 10/17 Make-Up Monday

Question of the Day: 10/17 Make-Up Monday: Give an example of a time when you did something you thought was really good only to find out it was not what your teacher wanted? How could this have been avoided?

Sometime in English class junior year, We had an essay due. Now essay's are my specialty since I love to write. I had completed what I thought was my BEST essay ever, handed it it so confidently, I knew I would get a 5. I read some of my friends essays just to see what I was up against. I saw no competition, still feeling like mine was the best. After getting my essay back graded by my teacher , she gave me a 3 out of 5. I was surly disappointed. she made corrections and comments like "too wordy" and "too much" lol now, maybe everything would have been better if I had just stayed focused and even spoke to her about my work prior to turning it in.
