One day while sitting in room 242 Peltier Hall, all my classmates began talking about the grades they received on their Unit one essay. I started to tell my classmates that I never received a grade for the assignment and one of them suggested that I go talk to Mrs. Pejic. I was so nervous because I barely talked in the class, and I had to have a meeting with the professor. When I walked into Mrs. Pejic’s office for my revision appointment, I realized it was not as bad as I thought it would be. Her office was cozy and welcoming.

At this time, I was working thirty hours a week. I eventually had to quit my job because my grades began to drop and I knew something had to
Four years ago, I stood before my middle school class on our graduation day, and I gave a speech concerning growing up and learning new secrets about your friends and yourself. A great deal of you who sit here today were apart of that class, and I hope you remember that speech, seeing as I don’t. I don’t remember a single word I preached, so I have a fresh speech today since I can’t rewrite, revise, and reprise the original one. Before I dive in too deep, more than anyone I want thank my mother,
