Excerpts from Students’ Papers

As time passed and I grew older I learned that I didn’t want any siblings. Now knowing how they got here I would pass.

For example, having a good relationship with your family could be unhealthy mentally.

I was under a lot of stress when I first got to college. English is my second language and I lacked a lot of studding skills.

Overall, I am glad that I transferred to the University of South Florida. The University of ___was so small and full of a bunch of northern Yankees.

The classes I have written papers for are usually first year classes than don’t deal with a specific topic. I think that if I were required to write about a specific subject that was the subject of the class itself, the professor would find it to be greatly lacking in content.
