Assessment: This is the fourth and final draft of my third essay for College English 101. While I fulfill the prompt, I do not convincingly analyze the author's rhetorical strategies. I still have a lot of weak verbs and adjectives roaming around my essay. I need to find a variation for the word "writing" also. Also the analysis needs work and the page limit has been exceeded.…
When I first joined FFA, I had no idea of the impact it would have on me. Funnily enough, I originally thought of it just as a stepping stool into become a veterinarian- obviously plans have changed. And although my original goal and reason for joining has changed, I’m grateful that I did join, because FFA has impacted me in more ways than one. It goes beyond other experiences because as far as an educational experience goes, it has taught me a great deal than I ever expected. FFA has gone beyond just teaching me about cows, plants, and farming, it’s taught me business, life and leadership skills.…
While reading I felt as though it could have been a ok but not great college essay. Reading books by authors like Stephen King of Colleen Hoover befor this would leave you wanting more. Propper grammer was used but there is a set of expectations for published novel that this one…

Me, Jeffrey Szulczewski, the king of fantasy football? Well, sorta. So one week, I was at my dad’s house playing fantasy football on Week 3, and I was going all out.

One time I showed grit during my football game. It was during 7th grade and I can’t quite remember who we were playing, but I do know we were winning. It was fourth down and we were going to punt the ball but our coach told us to do a fake punt. When the ball was snapped Jack grabbed the ball and started sprinting my way.

Composing about how a rhetorical writing experience was a result of a particular situation was a challenging task for me, simply because I could not think of any time that I intentionally wrote as a consequence to a situation. Fundamentally speaking, I do not consider myself a “writer”. Yes, anyone who writes anything is considered a writer, however, I rarely find myself dedicating my free time to literature. A writer, in my opinion, is someone who constantly expresses their passion for writing itself, and uses it as an outlet of expression toward anything, personal or general.…

Like I previously stated I learned how to do many things with my writing this semester. The first essay we wrote, a narrative, was probably my favorite essay to write. Although it was my favorite, it was definitely not my best. I wrote my essay and felt like it was complete and worthy to turn in. Little did I know that was not the case.…

From playing flag football in third and fourth grade, all the way up to my senior year of high school, it has always been a part of my life. I always found myself doing something football-related, whether it be playing with friends, watching on TV, or playing it on the PlayStation. To me, football is a way of bonding with friends and family.…
