When composing my research paper about if America should make Community College free for everyone, I really couldn’t work with anyone when composing this argumentative paper. I think it was a good approach because it’s my argument and I have the research to back it up. I did have options to go to other people and ask them for their opinions but I have the evidence that support my argument in my paper so why bother. I wrote this project in a course of 4 days if you don’t include the day I looked for my research links then it would be 5 days. I changed my environment of where I wrote and did most of it in the school library instead of my room. I was shocked by the quality of my writing but not surprised of how much I completed and felt like it drastically got better since my life-choice memoir. With no distractions around me I could have gotten a lot more done in a lot less time. I chose the topic of making community college free in the U.S. because debt is going to be something majority of college students are going to have to deal with debt when they graduate. I thought it was a good choice because I can see ways that the government can make it possible to make it free. During the time I put into the research and composing my argument I felt good and prepared for when I was putting everything together. Since I finished the paper, I did see what I could do to make some revisions and plan on making them for my final portfolio. I should add more to my conclusion and maybe make one more argument on why America should make community college free. I also need to add more citations and make more arguments instead of stating just facts but also support all of them with evidence.

When I was composing my life-choice memoir I knew right away what I was going to write about and who I was going to go to when I needed other people's point of view on what happened that day. I had no choice but to write about the final day when my family was in the hospital before my grandfather’s passing. I went to my Parents, Uncle, and Aunt to hear what their day went like before, during, and after the hospital incase there was anything I missed that I could have included in my life-choice memoir. The rhetorical modes I used for this assignment were description and narration. It took me about 3 days to complete the project which I felt was a good approach at first then realized I should have given it more time. On top of that doing this in my room was probably the worst place I could have possibly written it. Honestly doing it infront of my T.V. would have been better because there are a lot less distractions there than in my room. Things that could have distracted me were obviously social media, online games, the fact I have been remodeling my room for about half the semester, the new crossbow I recently started building, and the list just continues. I chose the topic of letting my grandfather go for a few reasons. First I couldn’t think of a more tragic event that occured in my life. Second, it was pretty recent and as I mentioned in my paper it was “burned into my memory”. Third, it had to do with my best friend and this type of paper couldn’t have been a better fit than this. Honestly when I was writing this narrative and heard other families members outlook from it, I did start feeling dead inside and all this brought me back to that day. After I wrote it I felt like I accomplished something and felt good that I was able to share this experience with others. I do have “if only” moments because I could have maybe included more but thought it was too personal and didn’t think my family would appreciate it if I put it out in my narrative. I do need to revise my first draft by turning it from a summary into scenes. I already know what I’m not going to do and that is write this paper in my room. By approaching this in a library I know I will get a lot more done and I can produce a much better draft that way.
