Lyons Leadership

I still have a copy of the very first essay that I ever wrote in high school. I remember being so proud of it when it was completed. And then I remember being so disappointed at the mark I was given on it. Going back and reading it now, I see so many flaws, but at the time, my heart was broken.

Since then, both in high school and in college, I have written so many different term papers and my writing has come a long way. Thank goodness I have received better marks on most of the paper that I have written since that first one. In fact, I would say that I am pretty good at it now.

I actually just finished writing two research papers for two different classes that I am taking. I am equally as proud of these as I was of that first essay, but I know these are good, which is more than I could say about the essay. I work hard to achieve good marks and I actually thank my teacher for that low mark in high school. It has inspired me to better myself.
