I do not have much reference for the first couple of years of my life as is typical. I do however have photos to look at and boy was I an adorable baby my hair would stand straight up. I have been told that back then I did not know a stranger and…

My most effective piece of writing happens to be my illustrative essay titled “The Impact of Preschool Teachers.” To get this essay started I started out with a brainstorming list of listing all the possible careers I want do once I graduate from Alexandria Technical and Community College. I picked a preschool teacher for the career. I then brainstormed a list of all the duties a preschool teacher does throughout their day.
