<p>To the poster that mentioned the OP must have some deep insurities—Many college students are insecure when they arrive on campus and many more will become insecure at one or more times during their college career. It is unfortunate that a professor felt it was her obligation to communicate to a student that he was not ready for that colleges’ work.</p>
<p>To the OP—I have heard many stories over the years of teachers that have said very damaging remarks to students. Now that you have graduated, and have done well, you may want to think about writing a letter to that professor. You can let her know that at that time of your life when your writing skills were still weak she could have been the one teacher who left a life time impression on you. She unfortunately chose to be remembered as the teacher that said you couldn’t, instead of taking the time to show you that you could…what a shame.</p>
