I have never really been good at school, but I told myself not to give up because I believe in myself and I want to make my family proud. When I was in 3rd grade one of my teacher’s noticed that I was struggling in class; I had to go to the doctor, and I got diagnosed with Attention-Deficit Disorder (ADD). I use to take medicine for it while I was in school 3rd -9th grade. I was in classes that helped which means I would get pulled when we had quiz or test. It would help not get as distracted and sometimes the teachers would read to me the questions on the exams and quizzes which helped a lot. When I got into college, it changed. You have to help yourself and figure things out on your own because you’re an adult now. I do get to go to an office Student Accessibility Services (SAS) when I take a test for a quieter place. I notice every semester gets harder and harder, but I never give up. One day I wanted to give up, so I had to call my mother and told her "I need to get on my medicine again", because I feel like it would help me, but the thing about that medication I have no appetite.

    Through analysis of Lee Burdette Williams’s article “”Safe” is in the Brain of the Beholder”, it is clear that she deliberately employs a blend of pathos and logos to relay her message that, while freedom of expression is important, students and educators alike must be considerate of the needs of others. In her article, Williams uses precise language, including pathos to probe her readers’ emotional and empathetic sides, as well as logos to add believability and substantiate her argument. Williams’s article “”Safe” is in the Brain of the Beholder” that speaks directly to students and college educators, is both fairly written and successful at utilizing logos and pathos to formulate an argument to encourage her audience to look past differences…

    For this second essay, I decided to write about the Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt essay, “The coddling of the American Mind”. In their essay they argue for how, even though cognitive behavioral therapy can help with rise of mental health concerns among college students, colleges and universities too often gravitate toward promoting emotional reasoning (9-11). Therefore, I will argue for what colleges and universities should promote cognitive behavioral therapy while reducing emotional reasoning. For instance, I will explain the benefits of doing this and what might be some disadvantages in applying this therapy and as well as providing what are the obstacles in implementing it. Finally, I will support all these with supporting details from…
