One way her mother would try to teach them a life lesson was by having them spell hard words. For example‚ in the book it says‚ “Spell ‘poinsettia‚” Mother would throw out at me‚ smiling with pleasure. “Spell ‘sherbet.” The idea was not to make us whizzes‚ but‚ quite the contrary‚ to remind us---and I‚ especially

Over the past couple of years I have been in school‚ I have been fortunate enough to discover my love for writing‚ specifically essays‚ although some may think that is strange.

I never knew about citations‚ in-text citations‚ and not using the first person. In high school‚ students usually can turn in anything they have and literally pass a paper every single time. Writing is a very important skill just because it improves
