...Gosh This Essay Smells Bad In the article “Shitty First Drafts”, by Anne Lamott, she argues that writing is not such an easy task, especially for professional writers in the writing process. She claims that writing takes time and everyone must start from somewhere to become a better writer. Writing can be difficult for experienced and inexperienced writers. I agree with Lamot that writing in a process is not easy because writing can be frustrating, finding motivation to write and catching the reader's attention. Now don't get me wrong writing sounds easy but it's much more complicated than it sounds. Writing actually frustrates me. Writing a first draft or prewrite can lead to frustration just sitting there with a blank page in front of you. It takes me minutes or even hours just thinking about how to write a paper. This completely drive me nuts. Even Authors who first started writing novels struggled and got so frustrated at times to write the perfect book in there eyes. It made them want to give up at times. But I believe it's something a experienced or inexperienced writer could overcome and get through to write a good paper. One thing that certainly got professional writers to write great novels or papers was motivation. Motivation is a major key to writing a great paper. One of people's biggest mistakes when writing is assuming they will receive a bad grade or bad review for their work. When they assume this it usually causes them to stress out when writing...

...first heard about bhanu when i was doing masti and said i couldnt dance so showed me bhanu's video and told me "i couldnt be that bad"...but he's come a long way as we've all seen tonight I got to know him well last year when he lived off campus at Crosby. We’d chill for hours not doing anything but had such a good time (kinda like my send off to austarlia --though he did try to get me to watch one tree hill) ...i kinda wonder about his tastes in tv shows sometimes, but thats a whole other issue always reached out to the underclassmen -> even when i was in australia always kept in touch -> Chicken curry - brings the family together -->gotta call the llama if we want food Bhanu has the nickname of being the llama – he’s a man of few words but when everyone talks he always listens cuz he always has something wise to say... -also very peaceful – for example, whenever I go upstairs, he’s normally sleeping, which is how I got to know the hosts of the show tonight, boyle and burke, who have done an amazing job keeping me laughing tonight. Just this last week, I was all stressed about applying for internships and the interview process. Bhanu was the first person to tell me that "whether i get the internship or not, we'd celebrate that i got through it”…and I really appreciated htat and all of his advice, and that’s what bhanu is – always there for everyone he knows. nandan said as a freshman rep he was very quiet and...

...The one person I look up to the most is my mother. She is a very hardworking and caring mom who is always there for me when I need her. Every time I have a problem or have a bad day, she is the person that makes everything better. I know I can trust her with anything, and to me that’s one characteristic that is very important. My mother has always given me wise advice. She has taught me so many things that will help me through life. She has always told me to stand up for what I believe in and not let others persuade me. She is always faithful and always there to listen. I know I can always count on her with anything. `One characteristic that stand out the most is her caring attitude toward us. She puts us children first in front of herself. Always making sure we are having a good day, and having food on the table when we come home. She has always helped me with school and I can remember when I was younger she would stay up all night helping me study for all my tests for school the next day. I remember a time when I was in middle school; I was having a lot of difficulty with my friends. They would constantly start drama and I would be in tears coming home from school. My mom was the one person who would give me the best advice on how to deal with the situation she would always be there to tell me everything is going to be okay. She has even helped me out with my hard breakups with boyfriends. She is the one person that knows when something is wrong. Recently, I just broke up with...

...many times, always with the same person” A happy marriage is one where you both work on issues to solve them, you both respect, and love each other, and want to be with your spouse like it was the first day you met, it’s when you know there may be bumps in the road, but together you will ride them out and emerge with them even stronger and have a stronger bond it’s when you know someone and that someone will always have your back and vise versa, it’s when you see each other after being apart even for a couple of hours and smile in a genuine way and having that happiness of being reunited. I would always not expect perfection to me a happy marriage means good communication skills both talking and listening, respect and responsibility for oneself. You should be able to be happy for each other when things are tough. You can be down on your luck, but a happy marriage means that at the end of the day you are happy to be with you your partner no matter what the circumstances may be. When you signed that paper, you made a promise to be with that person till death till you part. Falling in love with your partner many times might mean you should try different things. I fell in love with my boyfriend many times all over again like it was the first time I met him. I met him when I was in high school I was in ninth grade and he was a senior. At first my parents didn’t agree with the fact that he was older but I knew the first time I saw...

...Favorite Foods Experimenting with different foods has always been adventurous and satisfying to the taste buds at the same time. As a child, most foods were always of one specific type which was of the American tradition. Some foods often kept me away from tasting them merely because of the appearance. Being open-minded in the event of trying different foods from various backgrounds becomes enjoyable based upon where the food originated from along with the diverse seasonings and recipes used. Some foods have remained a personal favorite for years, and some have been recently added to the list by simply trying new things. We all derive from numerous backgrounds where food brought our families together, whether it’s on the day of someone’s birthday, national holiday, or a family outing. Traveling to different areas of the world presents many diverse classes of not only different foods and taste, but also preparation styles. My favorite categories of foods are sushi, Italian, and soul food. During the 8th century, the history of sushi developed in Southeast Asia with the intent to preserve fish that was wrapped with fermented rice. The first time that I tried sushi, I was living in Jacksonville, Florida working for the United States Navy. My significant other at the time always talked to me about sushi, but I was always hesitant about trying something that involved raw fish and seaweed. When the initial experience presented itself, we were at a restaurant and I found out...

...Kaileigh Abreu Professor: Commodore ENG071-55 March 29, 2014 Obstacles Have you ever had to overcome and obstacle during your time in school? Have you ever just wanted to give up because you thought you couldn’t overcome them? Well, you shouldn’t give up that easily. You should always push yourself past your limits. Giving up is like saying that you can’t do something when you know you know do it. If you don’t push yourself past your limits you will never be able to overcome anything. I was like that for a while, I always wanted to give up and not face my obstacles. Although I realized that you eventually have to overcome any obstacles you may have, I decided that it was time to overcome my obstacles. My first obstacle that I needed to overcome was being shy. At first, I could never really talk in front of people I would always get really nervous. Every time I had to get up and talk in front of people I would always say “uhm” between everything. Secondly, all through high school I had a hard time getting up in front of people and presenting projects. I would always make my presentation quick and short. Finally, but the time I was a senior in high school I was able to overcome my shyness. I was able to get up in front of people without getting really nervous. My second obstacle that I needed to overcome was being stressed about class work. At first, when I started freshmen year of high school I honestly thought that I wouldn’t have a lot of work to do. Well, I was wrong, I...

...them till I couldn’t keep up anymore. Tim would always make me play with him so I can be good and have fun. I recall almost every weekend playing basketball in the street with our close neighbor Chris. While me attending middle school, at Nazarene Christian School, he went to John Glenn High School with my brother Tim. After Chris moved out of state, I would hardly be out in the streets interacting with other neighbors and friends like most kids. I attended Nazarene since second grade. At that private school, the lowest grade you could be in to play sports was fourth grade. While attending there, I played volleyball and basketball. I was really good and enjoyed basketball more than volleyball. I became a better player as I grew up. I continued to do both sports all the way up in to high school. While attending John Glenn High School in Norwalk, Ca, as a freshman I tried out for the freshman and sophomore team. When I was playing, I was the middle blocker. It was a huge difference from middle school but I enjoyed my season. Our team was better than the varsity and junior varsity squad, even though our varsity made it to CIF. The following year I moved up to junior varsity with my best friend, Mercedes Dorsey, and her aunt, Stephanie Tataulo, as our coach. We had the most crazy, different coach than our freshman year, but we still remained the best team that year. My junior and senior year I was on the varsity team. My first year was the greatest...

...Dancing is always interesting me that I want to try and learn one time in my life. It is an art that most of people want to discover and experience. I used to try some kind of dance like aerobic, or zumba. However, this was the first time I tried in modern dance that gave me strong expression. I have done the first modern dance class in my life. During the class, I have seen some changes in my body. They are just small changes, but I can fell it. I still remembered the first days of class; I felt down a lot because I could not flexible with the directions. I just kept in mind that I had to turn right to the left or to the right. It made my steps hard and not flexible. However, now I realized that I just needed to let my body move the way it wants to. I should not care a lot about moving right or wrong. As well as so, I feel my body is more flexible and dynamic now. Every part in my body can move almost exactly the way I want them to be like leg, foot, arm, belly, etc. Especially, I really loved the way the professor let us have free dance between the exercises. I was not a good dance person. However, I learnt a lot. I learnt from the professor, and I also learnt was from my classmates. I often looked at the way they danced. From that, I repeated them by my own style and creating. Free dance time was my favorite time of class because I could learn a lot and express myself most. I think it was really a good way to learn new thing and create something new. Overall, my body changed...
