Dear Reader,
My name is Ashley Messina. This is my first quarter here at EvCC. I come from a little town called Granite Falls. I am the first person in my family who has attended college. I don't know what I want to be yet. But I know that I want to help children someday. As a writer I hope to be able to continue to develop my talent. Maybe even one day not be as shy about my poetry. This quater I have learned many different things. Many of them to many to list.
My favorite exercise was learning to eliminate 2nd person. Although I complained about studing it I liked the challenge. Because I learned how much I talk in second person as I write. My least favortie exercise was learning about thesises and learning how to write a thesis statement. I most struggled with not wanting to explain my thoughts to the reader. Because naturally the writer thinks that the reader is supposed to know what they are talking about.
I am so glad that I am able to be able to be in college and the people I have met. I have to keep thinking that I will be meeting more great people and learning more great things when I get dicouraged.
Enjoy reading my pieces of writing!!
Sincerely,
Ashley Messina

Ashley I have to agree the thesis thing was tough! Just when I though I had it down I was way off. YOu are a great kid with a bright future. I like your Dear reader letter and your willingness to open up to your likes and dislikes.
