Today was a life changing experience. At 1:00pm, I had a meeting with my English teacher regarding my paper. Throughout my college years, I'd say that 95% of my college professors told me that I had good writing skills. So, I thought that I did a good job on the paper but, unfortunately, I did not. First, she asked me to read my paper out loud. Now, I will admit that I stumble over my own writing. However, I RARELY stumble over reading a book or another person's writing.
So, when I was reading my paper out loud, I happened to stumble over a few words. I said to myself "Woah! I can't read my own writing. What's going on here?" I included a word that I didn't see in the paper and I said "accomplishment" instead of "accomplishments". At that moment, I felt so embarrassed. I didn't proof read my paper that well so that's probably why I was stumbling over so many words. Finally, my teacher and I discussed my paper and what I should do so I can make some final touches before I turn the final draft in.
The whole experience was crazy in so many ways. I thought that I was a good writer prior to the meeting I had with my English teacher today. Plus, I was nervous because I didn't want to embarrass myself while reading my own paper out loud. I left her office feeling like an idiot.
David Gregory is the new moderator of Meet the Press and he stumbles a lot when he's reading. Is he stupid? Not at all.
I made myself look like an idiot in front of a person who has an English degree. My bad.
