Overall the essay was not hard to write about there were just a few little mistakes I had along the way that made it complicated. My main problem was trying to make my definition…

"You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else" (qtd. in Nikolov). Exactly the key of success is to know the rules and be the best player. For me I 'm Egyptian and everything is different here. Taking English in America plus not being my native tongue was a great challenge. I spent my childhood in a British school in Egypt so, English wasn 't that strange to conquer. In my school I studied novels, dramas, and poems. I took a lot of vocabulary and…

sentence structure. Compared to my other essays that I have written, that were marked with many lines or things to be corrected I still had a good grade it just wasn’t the best.

I learned from reading through the CULTURE book assigned for the…

I was born in Somalia, but I was raised in a small village called Mander in Kenya. When I grew up and started going to school, I learned three languages. The first one was my Native Language which is Somali, the second one was Kiswahili which was used as the national language in Kenya, and my third language was English. In schools in Kenya, the community was not paying more attention to the English language so much as they do to Kiswahili language because they wanted to stick with their language…

I will be the first one to admit, my first rough draft was horrible, and one of the main perpetrators of the cause was my terrible grammar. This was bad throughout the whole paper as I had misspellings, comma splices, run-on sentences, and a decent amount of conjunctions.
