The start to English 1020

     English 1010 was quit a breeze for me. My teacher only had us write one research paper a week. On Tuesday we get our assignment and have to have our rough draft by the beginning of class on Thursday. Which on Thursday he would read over our rough draft and then we have to have our final draft by the next Tuesday. That is all I did in English 1010.
     The following semester I took English 1020 (not this class this is my second attempt at English 1020). It was totally different from my English 1010 class I was so lost for most of the class, and I just could not seem to get what he wanted me to write my papers about. I would spend days and days writing and rewriting getting people to look over my papers to try and receive a decent grade. But after all this I would still make c's on all my papers. Well for my fellow nursing students know a C average in a class is not going to get you into the nursing program. So now im here taking English 1020 for the second time, I hope to get it right this time!
     In my entire life I've always struggled with grammar, to me it is very hard to comprehend. I believe I am this way because I've honestly never had a teacher really go over all the grammar rules in detail. When I was younger my mom would try to help me with grammar, but I could just never catch on. So this semester in this English 1020 class I would really love to just learn how to write a descent well put together paper, and also just to further my knowledge with grammar.

  1. First i would like to say i got really exited when I saw your photo. I thought it was a photo of police academy actors, which by the way is a ridiculously hilarious movie. I know what you mean about keeping your grades up. I am hoping to get into a nursing program next fall and a C will not cut it! So, you are not alone. I think I am going to end up needing a doctor because i am going to get an ulcer trying to make the grades. Good luck!
