My writing workshop experience as a freshman was successful‚ time devoting‚ and different. It is different from my past experiences in writing‚ because I had the opportunity to chose my own topic‚ and had most of the year to improve each of my pieces. I enjoyed the process‚ and thought it was very helpful to receive feedback from both my peers‚ family‚ and teacher.

My favorite meal is fried chicken wings‚ loaded mash potatoes‚ macaroni and cheese‚ cut green beans‚ jiffy cornbread muffins and for dessert triple chocolate cake with a scoop of vanilla
