Weak modifiers such as, basically, sort of, and mostly, detract from the strength of all genres of writing. Repetition reviled itself multiple times towards the end of the narrative. The adjective “happy” was overused (three times in 50 words).…

    I could still physically move but couldn't physically speak. I was so frightened, my first thought was to get to my teacher at the front classroom door. Holding my jaw to try to stop the chaotic movement of my teeth, I took about four steps to get to the door, before falling backwards, unconsciously, with my eyes rolling in the back of my head.

    I started out with a passion to do great things in this world, but somehow lost my way. I was made to believe that I was nothing, an object, a possession that would never make it on my own.
