I can honestly say that I feel like I use my strengths every day. Before I started college at Bethel, though, that was not the case. I loved writing in high school and my first years of college.

remain socially apart as they prepare for a reconquest of the U.S. Southwest” (Chavez, p. 3).

If Mexicans are already doing this without the knowledge of their history, I don’t think the U.S. could handle a group of people refusing to abide to their rules if they knew how much history they really have. That is why the U.S. feels so threatened when young

Anne Lamott’s “Shitty First Drafts” is an excerpt from her book, Bird by Bird (1994), where she argues to let go of the anxieties and fears of creating a masterpiece paper right away by simply writing without question in order to get all of your thoughts out first.

He says several times that the best work is that which stems from hours of jotting down random, seemingly illogical sentences. And that by the end of the piece, those unorganized sentences have been edited and are now a fluid flow of words coming together to create

social stories on communication So this week was slow again because of the academic award ceremony. The first two periods were pretty empty of students so I mostly did research for the social stories. I honestly never knew how hard it was to find paper social stories.

Although in the past years we have learned on how to write a lot of these papers this year we dove a little more into them. We took different approaches to them to get more out of them than we had before, such as the personal narrative. I have written a personal narrative in the past but this time it helped me improve because i could not just be basic. I learned that i would have to write more in detail for it be a quality paper, that i couldn’t just get away with writing it like a 9th grader any more
