Best part

As days turn into weeks and weeks turn into months and years, everyone eventually forgets to think about why they're happy, or what is good about they're life. I personally have had trouble in the past seeing that, but its obvious now, in ninth grade, that there is a lot of positivity in my life. I wake up in a warm bed and every morning eat breakfast. I have everything to be thankful for. But what in my life isn't as painfully obvious as my house, or the food I eat.

I thought about it for a while. I wake up with music in my ears and a song in my head. I look out the window in the car with the knowledge that whatever happens today, I will still have tomorrow. I sit in class with comfort in knowing that there are friends all around me. I walk to chapel or the VPAC with a smile on my face, even if I'm not with a huge group of friends I don't let that bother me. I know that to be happy I shouldn't worry about what people think about me, I should worry about whether or not I'm spending my life making myself happy. To sum it all up, I think the best part of my life is that I'm able to have positivity, because even the richest person can be the saddest.

Writing center

My visit to the writing center was actually very helpful. I went expecting to just be told I was wrong and my paper was horrible, but the entire thing was so positive. I made an appt with Christine Phan, we started with me reading my paper so I would notice any grammatical mistakes. Throughout the appt she would always remember to compliment me on my paper. I never felt like I was just being yelled at and told I was wrong, I felt like I was finally being taken seriously as a writer.

The overall experience was excellent and I will definitely return next semester for any papers I have then. I would encourage everyone to go if they are ever unsure about a paper.
