When I approach my writing assignments it’s usually last minute and yes I know that’s bad but it’s hard for me to start writing something. Sometimes it’s because I don’t fully understand the assignment or have no idea where to start so I wait until a little before the deadline. I will try to start it before, I even would dedicate a whole day to just focusing on a writing assignment and nothing. When I start it, I always write it in google docs and when I’m done I reread it to catch any misspellings or to add words. I would like to start earlier and make many drafts to keep fixing and adding stuff.

Class Meetings & Times: Mondays & Wednesdays, 4-5:40 PM, in Namm 521
Office Hours: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 12 – 1 PM. I’ll be available through Zoom and will send an invitation via email that you should keep all semester. Try to join my meeting at the start of the hour, not at the end—since I may be talking to other students or have another appointment after the hour is up. If those times don’t work with your schedule, we can schedule a different time. This means you’ll have to schedule an appointment in advance via email. I suggest you have multiple times in mind, since your schedule may not mesh with mine!

Confused
My coworkers, my family & friends. My job, stressed, confused.
Second, review what you have so far and try to label the features of your narrative arc.
It began on the first day of my job August 17, 2021. I was working 5 days a week. I had met my coworkers. School was starting soon.
I was trying to balance work and college but I couldn’t and I was stressed because my coworkers my age seemed to be doing fine.
I was on my break just thinking of how boring it is to come to work everyday and do the same thing every-day. I had failed many classes from the semester and all because I couldn’t focus on just college. I wanted to drop out so I can just save up and then later on focus on school.
My coworkers kept telling me not to leave college because I will regret it. Everyone just kept saying to go because it’ll be worth it. I also agreed because I don’t want to just work for the rest of my life
I realized I did want to go to college and just because I failed the semester doesn’t mean I shouldn’t go back. It means I have to take it serious if it’s what I really want.
