Since the grade that I received for my paper was substandard, I still ought to add other gears to my writing machinery; thus, I intend to exploit the time that this memorial weekend has granted me. Like I mentioned previously, one of my main areas of limitation at this time revolves around impersonal form of writing. I wish to come closer to the reader with witty commentary instead of boring them with a plethora of nicely knitted sentences and esoteric words. I find that people not only become disinterested, but also have a hard time understanding the material. Adding more direct, accessible commentary could harness the focus of the reader and, simultaneously, raise the level of interest.
Somehow, I find myself enjoying this loftier standards; I have always thought education in America, in its conventional, is mediocre at best. Basically, you show some effort and the teacher will award you with a halfhearted “A.” My previous teacher would have thrown that letter grade at me without wavering, which would have not encouraged me to look farther into myself and advance beyond the expectations of the class. Maybe you can call me an over achiever, but I am an inflexible abdicate for constant self improvement. From the day one is born into the world to the time for that last melancholic repose, one can never, accurately, say that one is seamless, having no flaws to carve out. I find this particularly true in respect to witting. Therefore, I will try to forsake my comfort zone and search that line between academic and personal. I plan to twist that line as much as possible.
