6 word story

"COMING ACROSS THAT WELL NEEDED EXPERIENCE"

This may seem like a very boring 6 word story but it is by far telling the story of not only my experience in english 101 this semester, but how I will use this new knowledge in the future. I have always done well on a lot of papers but that was simply because I've always been pretty good at the grammatical part of writing. I've never had someone teach me how to properly use rhetoric, voice, explication, close reading, and really hammering out an argument that is siphoned throughout the whole paper by the reader. These 6 words demonstrate the journey of getting to this classroom, being pushed to make every draft, idea, and argument better, and leaving with a "well-needed" experience fully accomplished. Whether or not my papers turn out to be the very best in the class, they are by far the best papers (as far as core writing responsibilites and revision) I have personally ever produced. They have allowed me to understand the process I need to go through(although I'm not finished) in order to make my paper as good as possible. The reason I used "coming across" is because I would have never actually went out and accepted that my writing needed a lot of help. Had I been placed in a class that didn't offer a huge challenge to my ability as a writer I probably wouldnt be where I am at today. Rachel, being a very challenging professor indeed, has made such an impact on the way I will approach all papers in the future, and coming across this class has allowed me to definitely take more out of an English101 class than I ever had expected.
