Introduction
Writing is both a fundamental and technical skill that one has to learn in the entire life. Individuals only become better writers, but it is quite rare to find experts in this field.

As I struggle to build myself as a writer, I know every resource count including the tutors and my peers who have been watching me grow all through.

For an example, for the header I did not know that it had to be half an inch from the top of the paper and it took me awhile to understand how to do that correctly, and I also did not know how to double space it correctly as it says in “Should the minimum wage be raised?”. When it came to my claim, I did not really state it clearly for the reader. In “Should the minimum wage be raised?” my claim was “These employees are starting to demand a higher raise, but do they truly deserve it?” (“Should the minimum wage be raised-Final” 1).
