In third grade, she had to write a biography about a famous person. She plagiarized everything from the encyclopedia about Abraham Lincoln. When her peers was presenting, she discovered that she did her assignment incorrectly and did not bother to present her piece.
What Happened Next?
She was determined and continued to write; making sure she understood her writing assignments' directions. She enjoyed writing poetry, song lyrics, stories, and in eighth grade and up, she was writing research papers.
What Stayed The Same?
To this day she continues to write and carries that on to the students she comes in contact with and with her own children.

ReplyDeleteSorry Laura, I borrowed this picture. This isn't me at all!
ReplyDeleteI love that you were willing to share with us a difficult early experience with writing. I expect that many of us have had times where we weren't clear how to tackle an assignment and had that sinking feeling once we got to class and saw what others had done.
