I had an assignment in my English class; Write a definition essay, MLA format,no less than 3 pages. I wrote the paper on the definition of Vegan. At first it wasn't coming together. You would think that I'd be able to write a brilliant paper in an instant because It's ...my LIFE. It's always the innate things that are the hardest to write about. I asked myself "If you had to define WOMAN would it be this hard?". I answered YES.
I am a perfectionist when it comes to english papers. I have to be absolutely satisfied with my work in order to turn it in. It's more because I'm worried about how I'm represented on paper and less about my letter grade. I finished writing my paper 45 minutes before my class started. Not confident it was my best work, I decided that my paper was as good as it was going to get.
That was last Thursday. Yesterday I got the paper back. I slowy turned back the first page to see my grade, FULLY expecting no higher than a B if my professor was generous. There it was glowing and dancing off the page. I got an A. I read it over and realized it was better than I thought. My teacher even asked to keep a copy.
I'm BEYOND happy. Now I want to get it published...
