Writing Center

Alright...so I must say that I was very skeptical about my visit to the Writing Center. Regardless, I made the trip over there on Thursday. I went in with no idea what direction I even wanted to go in with my paper...no paper, no beginning paragraph, no idea, nothing...and they still helped me!!!!

I went in and sat down with Missy's prompt. I explained that we had two choices and I wasn't even sure what choice I wanted to write about. My tutor sat with me for only about 15 minutes, and in that time, I basically planned out my whole entire paper. I found that, like Missy said, sometimes just sitting and talking with someone about your ideas really helps with starting your paper. I found that I really did know what I wanted to write about; I just needed a little encouragement to get started.

After I figured out what I was going to discuss, my tutor helped me plan how I would write my paper. We decided what topics should be included, which were more important than others, which I could leave out, and before I knew it, I was well on my way to a strong paper!

I hope everyone has a successful trip to the writing center like I did! I kind of wish I would have visited a Writing Center four years ago...I think it probably would have made my college career a little less stressful!
