so i was looking at responses to a question for a class assignment and i ran across an example of some really bad writing.. here it is.. you don't have to read it, but i just want to have this here to make a point
i don't understand how i worked my butt off in high school and some people were turning in crap like this.. and i REALLY don't understand how this kind of stuff gets by in college! oh well, at least the teacher recognizes the disparity in quality.. she sent me an email saying my responses were really good and i was like.. "hmm ok.." then 5 minutes later i saw this person's response... OHHHH! OK now i get why she appreciates my work.. because she's reading papers, responses, and essays everyday that look like postcards from prison inmates i want to find this guy and say.. DUDE... HOW ARE YOU IN COLLEGE!? whatever though.... read on if you dare... (this was literally turned in as a formal response / mini essay.. this was a straight copy and paste from the discussion board) Age does mean everything to me, but at the same time age is just a number. You really be concerned about age when it comes to relationships. Relationships and a person's age means a lot to some people. I really do not think it means that much, its all about the maturity level in a relationship. I do know that its a proven fact that females mature faster than men. I do not think it means that much if you are respectful, mature, hardworking, stable, and a great goal orientated person. Age is nothing but a number that people tend to stick people to and put them in certain levels in life to say when they are and are not mature, when they should date, when they should be able to move out, when they should be able to go to clubs, certain movies, and get license. It should not be a age limit, I think its more on a maturity level when things should be done. You may meet the certain age requirement but are you mentally ready for the challenges that come a long with it. Its more than meeting the age limit to certain things, but can you handle the task when it comes to you. Everybody wants to holler they are grown at 18yrs. old an say they are moving out, but do not have a clue on life and what it brings. Even with moving out at 18 you make think you are ready, but can you handle what may come with when you do move. Do you know that you have rent, water, electric, cable,trash, and then you have to put gas in your car to get back and forth. Its a lot easier being at home, not only do you have to be physical ready but your mindframe have to be as an adult. Its gone come to a point when you have to not be age ready, but mature ready, financially ready. Acting your age its self explainotory you would think, but its not. Some people act their shoe size literally and not your age. Your age does not determine the things that you should have in life, it just allows you to do more things in life. Yet, you may be 21 you still may not be ready to move out on your own. You may still call out of work to go to parties or hang with your peers. When you are grown (21) you handle your business first then you go and hang. Most of the times the event you going to or the thing you want to do will come back. When you act like a child, you still think like a child. No matter what age you are. I feel life will teach you lessons, and life will make you mature.
