After doing my process work I took the suggestions and I switched the logo and contact information around so that the flyer would be more effective.

The real-world implications of writing extend far beyond what many in my generation realize. Writing well is a craft which separates one from the crowd. Writing today that is open to the public sphere has become extremely informal. I find social media partially to blame for this.

Throughout all of high school, students are taught in minimal ways to produce “perfect” essays and present them so that when they get to college they can pass their classes. This means that high school teachers only teach them to write so specifically and in such a hard structured manner, that many students hardly ever learn to write papers that flow. In high school, I always wrote really nice papers that my teachers enjoyed grading, however, I always hated writing them because if I did not use the

My ACT Experience I have not taken the ACT’s yet, but I plan on doing so in the near distant future. I would like to take this important test somewhere in my junior year, and then most likely retake it to get a better score. I would like to reach a score of at least 30 when I take the ACT’s.

I feel like I am very proficient at what I am trying
