When we first began Composition I, I did not believe I would ever pass this extremely difficult class. Coming into to the class with not a lot of knowledge may seem impossible, but Somehow, I have been able to maintain high grades all semester.

I actually enjoyed writing about the topic and learning other things that I did not know about the open carry handgun law.
