What I learned from the Writing center
Well I learned 3 things from the Writing the center, that will help me in my future writing. When I first went to the writing center I was very nervous, just because I only have two read my writing which is my teachers and myself. So, when I sat down the man that I forget his name asked to read the whole thing out loud, I instantly became filled with fear, anxiety, and extremely nervous. If I hadn't mentioned before I am extremely stage-fright and I cannot say anything in front of people without stuttering or tears coming to my eyes with embarrassment. So, when he asked me to read the whole thing, I began, the world seemed to slow down and make my paper seem longer than ever, I rushed to read all 4 pages of it. After 7 minutes or so I finally read my entire paper.
Filled with relief, I turned to him in for his retort, already assuming I did a terrible job. He then said that I some mechanic issues, but my analysis was very good. He said for me to revise by reading out loud, and that this is the most profitable way of fixing my paper. He also said that my quotes are a bit wrong and I need to fix some of the format of the quotes. When I got home and started revising my paper, I read aloud, and found many mechanic issues, and I am really glad I learned this new trick. I fixed the format of my paragraphs, and improved on the fluency of my sentences.
Day In the Life Of Kaylin
Well every day I do certain things to prepare me for the day ahead of me. I first wake up at four o'clock and do my homework, while listening to music. Then after I am done I go for a run which ends being done around 6:15, then I take a shower, which takes around 10 minutes, so at 6:25 I then blow dry my hair which takes around 15 minutes, so then at 6:40 I go down stairs and usually have oatmeal with smoked salmon. Then I go back upstairs put on my uniform and make my bed then leave my house to go to school.
8 hours go by…
After school, it usually takes an hour to go home with a usual Starbucks or Smoothie King detour. So I get home around 4:30 I then do 1 hour of homework, then I just listen to music and play on my computer, or write in my journal. Then depending on what show comes on that night I usually spend two hours on the TV, my mom usually call dinner around 7:00- 7:30 pm, I then just chill with my family in the living room, until around 8:30, at 8:30 I start my usually preparation for bed. I first wash my face, then brush my teeth, put my phone and computer on the charger, light some candles, brew a cup of tea and then read for 30 minutes and then read the book Alexa Chung "It" and then go to bed. This is a day in the life of me.
