In almost every class I’ve taken thus far at the University of Maryland, my expectation to succeed has been set high. Although a letter grade of an A or B+ does not completely define success, I have established in my mind that I cannot say I have truly master a concept or subject if my grade is lower than a B+. This drive to succeed is not debilitating, but rather provides me with a boost of energy that enables me to strive to do my absolute best in every assignment I complete. So, if I was asked how well do I think I will do in ENGL395, I would set my standards high as always and say I will receive an A.

I am looking forward to the challenge of blossoming into a mature writer who knows what techniques to use to capture her audience attention. With the help of Professor Ross, my peers, and the writing center, I am hoping that I will finish this course with the technical skills I need
