Narrative Collection--Student Sample from Developmental Writing
<p>"In this collections i decided it was going to be all about how i wanted to approach life. As long as you are on top of everything that needs to be done, you will be ahead. The photos of the man smiling and the car passing the finish line remind me to be happy; to move quickly and accurately. The graduate with money in front of him reminds me to always have a drive and never to lose track of it. The open landforms are a message that we are always free to move any which way we please." --ENGL 002 Student</p><p>#MCteach<br /></p>
