I wrote the above mini-essay as extra credit for my Composition class. After I wrote it, I was truly excited with what I had composed and to be honest I kind of felt like a total dummie head when I looked back a few days later to see if anyone else had posted their own version and I saw that they had not. I WAS THE ONLY ONE. I felt like a teachers pet and a show off all at once. A very bad combination indeed. But tonight as I got on out of the blue I saw that Lillie Ward, a fellow classmate of mine had commented on it! She said, "The part about moving mountains with your pen and paper was clever. I really enjoyed your submission and think you have some real abilities when it comes to captivating your audience."

Oh my goodness! I do not know this Lillie other than the fact that I have a tendency to comment on her discussion posts, but she truly MADE MY DAY! :)

I am a person who has dealt with self confidence issues for a really long time, and because of that I have never really let any one besides my mom and a girl in my creative writing class read any of my work. I tend to keep it secret because I do not want people to tear it down like it is a math club poster. I may be on the school paper staff, but no one reads it so I do not have to worry with what anyone has to say. That is why joining this composition class was a big deal for me. It may have been an online class full of strangers, but still! They were forced to read my thoughts and opinions! This explains why I was a bit embarrassed and a tad discouraged when I saw that no one else had submitted extra credit. But after reading Lillie's comment I want to write until the sun comes up and then some! :D

Thank you for giving me the confidence to keep on writing Lillie. :D
