Although school is awful and dreadful, I must attend in order to be successful later in life. Over the past twelve years of coming to school, I seem to dread it more and more everyday. Many people have told me I must go to school and do my work to go to college and have a good career in the future. The people who push me through school are or have gone through the same thing as me, so they know what they are talking about. Even though school is only for seven hours out of my day, there is always more work that needs to be done out of school in order to stay on task.
In order to attend school, I am required to get up early and show up on time. With that being said, I do not get all the amount of sleep I want or need. Not getting enough sleep is a problem because I start to have a bad attitude and then I do not want to push myself to finish anything or try my best at anything.

Essay on Favorite Writing

My favorite piece of writing would most certainly be the group proposal paper we wrote in the Writing for Engineers (ENC3254) course that I took last Spring semester.

The syllabus for Cornerstone Seminar 101 states that the goal of the course is to teach:” critical thinking, research writing, and…
