Approches


My first semester at Kean University, I thought that the writing center would fix my paper. I am not proud of it, but that is what I thought. I thought that if I wrote my paper ad wet to the writing center than would result in a guaranteed A.  I learned quickly that it did not work that way. Not because I got a bad grade, but because they asked me questions rather than telling me what was grammatically wrong and then showing me how to fix it. I had to talk. I imagined it the other way around. The tutor talking and me listening.

Later I understood that it was better that way. It thought me how to look for my own mistakes and how I wanted to fix them. I could be proud of m paper because I knew that I wrote it. Of course I would have been easier to hand over my paper and have someone "fix" it.
