1. Some things I found frustrating when writing the play was the format. It felt like it was harder to get an idea across because my mind would be so focused on the spacing and capitalization. A pleasant surprise was that I managed to meet and surpass the page requirement. I didn't think I would have enough ideas or plot to fill up five pages, but in the end I had more than five pages and had a clear plot, and theme come across. I don't think I would ever pursue publishing a play because of the time it takes to write one. However, it was interesting to get a chance to experience writing one and learning the different styles they use.
2. In my personal essay some things I would like to include would be experiences in my life through church. I think that a lot of who I am and a lot of what I've learned has been from church and/or my experiences with God. I would try to portray a message of faith and how one should appreciate life by talking about my car accident. I think that this could express my feelings toward God and how my family and I became closer through faith. These are things I would include in my personal essay because they are real experiences and have shaped me to be who I am.
3. If I could give a ten year old advice, I would tell them not to try in school until ninth grade. I think that one should enjoy their childhood and have fun. So many kids feel pressure to succeed in sixth grade and it's just not worth it. I feel that if kids really focused on enjoying each day and having a fun time, they will develop a want to do well in school and ultimately do better in their years to come.

First sentence doesnt flow. Make them flow, Grace. Thats what she said(sentence 2; stop at harder). I really like you advice to a 10-year old, my little brother is 9 and we can have a little sit down with him if you would like. All in all, i really enjoy what you wrote, as always.

i'm not sure how i feel about not trying. that just sets kids up for failure, and a lot of kids manage to do that on their own...however, you have become quite exquisite with the smiley faces, and i'm sure you can find a job doing that somewhere.
Great work.
