Boot Camp

What was the most important thing you learn in Boot Camp. Explain why.

I feel like Boot Camp just helped me remember things that I have learned throughout High School along with some new information. I really liked that some of the homework assignments forced me out of my comfort zone. For example, making sure I include what "I say" but also include what "they say" in my essays. It makes the arguement stronger when I show the other peoples opinions, and also explains to the readers why I am writing an essay on a certain topic. Throughout High School I have been writing essays that follow the 5 paragraph format and the typical thesis statements. So it is going to be difficult for me to leave the behind and start from fresh, but I am excited to see the improvement in my writing throughout the semester. Boot Camp helped me to make sure a take a second look at my essays and make sure i am achieving the goal of my essay, that the readers get out of the essay that I want them to get. Boot Camp definetly helped me get on the right track to write essays throughout this class.

A little about me!

Hi! My names Lindsey, my friends call my Linds, or Lu. I come from a small cowtown known as Duvall. If you have heard of it let me know! So Pullman is not that much different from where i grew up. I went to Cedarcrest Highschool and was in Honors English for 2 years. I don't read that often unless I find a book that I can not put down. Love those kind of books! I work hard and try to make sure I get good grades. One of my main interests is photography, I also like to play soccer and attempt to play guitar. Well I think that pretty much sums me up!
