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.
