I am halfway done with my essay, and I was wondering what you guys though of my into.:
“A personal experience that gives me a feeling of great achievement” I thought to myself as I waited for the school bus. The cool October air brushed against my face, yet I hardly noticed it because I was deep in thought, pondering possible solutions. It was a question I had been asking myself for the past several days, yet I was unable to come up with that ‘just right’ answer.
Well, it depends on the rest of your essay. It's incredibly hard to give a comprehensive answer when you don't know what everything is referring too, and so on.
But from the looks of it, it's not poorly written at all, but it seems more tailored to a "dilemma you pondered" topic, not an achievement essay.
But I could be wrong, 'cause I haven't seen the rest!
Is this going to be an essay in which you acknowledge that you're writing an essay? If so, that's just a personal pet peeve of mine; there's nothing wrong with that sort of essay, I s'pose, but I don't like them. In light of that, 3. It's nicely worded, though.
