With just a few minutes left in class, I was sitting there confused as ever, having no idea what to write. Then my amazing teacher Mrs. Humenansky reminded us that the writing assignment was due monday-- it was friday. There were peers sitting all around working on revising their first draft, working on their second draft, or hardly working at all. The ones that were done with their first draft are what stress me. It gives me a feeling of hopelessness that reminds of the same troubles I had many years ago when I first started writing.

Last year. My english class last year, it made me hate writing, the assignments ruined my love of it and then the teacher just killed my writing, every assignment was never good enough no matter how much time or effort went into it. I hated it with a unsurpassable amount burning hatred. I don’t know if I ever got an A in that class the entire year, even though I was learning new techniques that were helping me improve, it was never enough, There was always an issue with my writing, or some obvious error I was too blind to notice, there was always something putting me back or bringing me down. I was never happy with my writing, other than the whole seven and a half page I started at midnight one night and finished at 3 am the night before it was due. No assignment in that class was enjoyable for me, if I heard the word “essay” I died on the inside. One assignment in that class made me feel so defeated, it’s also the assignment I started and finished after midnight. The assignment was over four authors, I dreaded every second I had to think about the essay. The only part of it I was ever happy about was after I turned it in, knowing I’d never have to look at the physical form of sadness. In the end I got a low B on the assignment but that was with a metric ton of extra credit. The assignment made me literally hate writing but it taught me so much about writing, and it's gonna stick with me for a long
