“Stressful Times,” was the hardest piece to write because it was written from off the top of my head. I started with a little piece of imagination and ended up with a story. Using your imagination is easy, but writing down what you imagine is harder because you have to find the write words. I overcame this because using your imagination is something everyone does. Writing it down is hard, but you can do anything you put your mind to!
I am personally most proud of my Senior Thesis. I was proud of myself for writing a great essay on something I knew nothing about. I was proud of myself because I didn’t do many punctuation errors or run on sentences.
I choose not to put my Frankenstein essay into the portfolio, because I think I did poorly on it. I didn’t like the way the essay sounded or was phrased. I think the other three essays I choose were much better.
“Drug Abuse Is A Serious Problem” - “Drug abuse has many aberrant definitions related to digesting a psychoactive drug or performance enhancing drug for a non-therapeutic or non-medical effect. I like the way it was worded and gave the exact definition without hesitation. “Starting Over”- Little whispers surrounded me, making my heart skip a beat. I like this sentence because you can feel like something is wrong. You can almost put your self into the situation. “Stressful Times”- No one ever spoke to her because they didn’t know how she would react. I like this sentence because some people can think of times where they could almost relate to what was said.
I would personally say that the individual has really good points and advice from their works. The three essays had something do with a lesson learned in life. I think the weakness is putting it in their view and not others. I would say put more statistics proving their point into the works.
I would feel most comfortable making my Drug Abuse essay into a longer essay. My reasoning is because I would like to put more statistics proving why there is a problem. I would also put more examples to back up my reasoning.
I personally would make my essay “Starting Over,” into another genre. Many people can relate to wanting to or starting over. They can relate even if its in life in general or with them selves. Life’s lessons, is the best way to make a poem or song.
My heart beats faster and faster, with no movement in my feet. I stand surrounded with people n their eyes beating at me. I cant think straight, and run fast to the back seat. With my face buried into my knees, Desiree’ tries to see, The misery in the eyes that cant leave. She wraps her arms around me and tries to comfort me. Wanting so much in life is only a hint of imagination. Trying so hard to do best in life for me and my family, but nothing comes to mind. I want to leave, get out of this word. Run as fast as possible, but I still stand still. Clueless and feeling unwanted. Weeks past by, leaves from the trees turn colors, and still no progress. Woke up to a annoying sound of ringing in my ears. It was time to go to school, not knowing it was my last. Not realizing the feeling of being unwanted, would soon be in my past.
“Starting Over,” reflects my personality the best because I think the worst of things. When times get rough in life; all I want to do is run. I can strongly relate to this essay.
Desiree’ would respond very confused. She would most likely ask why I would feel so down or alone. I believe should want for certain sentences to be worded differently and more strongly.
Its very effective because you can look back on how much you’ve approved. I’ve learned that using your imagination but also a sense of life helps a lot. Sometimes you can make things off the top of your head, but many times you have to use good examples in your own life to get a good story.
I would save it anyways to see what progress I’ve done. I like to know if im doing better or worse on what I’ve written.
Dear Kristie, Never take life for granted. Things will always come and go, but that’s life. Things might happen that you don’t like, but you can always keep your head up and take baby steps to a better life. Never look back to the past, always look forward to the future, because you can’t change what has happened. But you can always control on what happens in the future; with the decisions you make. Write what you feel, and write your goals. Never give up on your goals, as for life will always come to you if you don’t cheat the way.
