Since the beginning of my freshman year at MTSU, my semester has almost seem like a blur. I faintly remember my very first day of Dr. Donovan’s Expository Writing course. The first thing I first noticed when I walked in was how minimal the class roster was. Through the weeks that seemed like no time, I was surrounded in a welcoming and professional environment.

2015 The Angel on My Shoulder My grandmother was a truly amazing person. She was compassionate, a great cook and the most loving person I know, and without any ego at all. In other words, exactly like me! Seriously, though, we have a lot in common. Among other things, I inherited her ugly feet, her love of lilies and her obsession with books. She preferred mystery novels and gospel music. While I shared her love of mystery novels I wasn’t fond of the gospel music. I remember having a
