Memorable assignment

        Gosh there are so many to choose from. I honestly... I can't even think of my favorite one. One that I will remember is my Great Expectations Essay. In the past I had trouble writing essays but I worked so hard on this one and got help from people. Even though my grade on it was a B, it felt better than a C or an F. I spent long countless hours on my paper trying to make it sound just right and make it so I had everything in order. The book wasn't all that spectacular to me, or wasn't my favorite book but knowing that the essay we were going to have to write at the end was real nerve racking for me. I didn't want to fail this assignment because my writing was crappy or because I had too many mistakes. This was one paper that I really wanted to do well on. I wanted to challenge myself and see how well I could do.
        By writing that essay and having the papers from my rough drafts, it was really helpful to me to look at them when we wrote our "Romeo and Juliet" essay. I had a tough time with this assignment. I wanted everything to be perfect. Everything to fit and flow smoothly. I wanted my paragraphs to be really really good and for my ideas in my head to explode out onto the paper. Some of those things happened and some of them didn't but overall knowing that my paper was a B grade made me feel so good inside and a lot of stress on my shoulders was lifted because I could tell my parents that I got a good grade instead of a C or lower. It made me proud and happy to know that hard work does pay off and that I can accomplish hard things (:
