From this point, students who are doing well in college’s life, and who are responsible for themselves in organizing their time, their work, and their life, too, are…

"Effective writing is not a magical or natural talent. It can be explained and learned." (Schick and Schubert 7) My soul was brought back to my body after reading this section in my book.
