Meeting With My English Teacher

  This past Monday I had a meeting with my English teacher about redoing one of my papers. She has this rule where you can redo one of your papers, and instead of averaging out the scores, she will just throw the old score out. I was scheduled to have my meeting with her two weeks ago, but when I went to her office, there was a note saying that she was running late, so she would not be able to make the meeting. When I rescheduled the meeting, the day that I happened to pick was the day that we were having class in the library class room, so we had our meeting outside of the room by the desks, so I did not meet with her in her office, but I did meet with her.
  We went over what I had to improve on my essay in order to get a better grade on it. One of the major things that I had to improve was the length of my essay. It was too short, so she said that no matter how good or bad the actual essay was, she would not have been able to pass it either way. Just knowing this I knew I had a lot of work a head of me. Then she gave me some tips on how to improve the length of the essay and she pointed out some mistakes that I clearly missed. She told me that if I point with my finger, and read the essay backwards, I would be able to find my mistakes, like using the word you, better and easier then just reading it because my mind will already know what it is expecting to read because I wrote it. This meeting was extremely helpful and I am glad I signed up for it.
