I went in there and a nice writing fellow sat me down and said read your paper aloud. I read it to her and she said it was really good. That statement lifted a lot of pressure off of me. As she guided me through my paper, I was just shocked about how kind she was. I honestly thought I would just go one time and never come back, but my experience there was really helpful.

The Writing Center
The Writing Center is an awesome place for EHS students to get help on writing. For example, help on papers, or just 2 paragraph blogs. My first experience at the writing center was really cool. At first I was extremely nervous because I didn't know if the writing fellow would judge me or say my paper was awful. I thought I would give it a try anyway!
How is 9th grade English different from 8th?
Transitioning into high school was a major step. I was excited to go into high school because I wouldn't be treated as a middle schooler or a little girl anymore. I was nervous, but happy when going into all of my new more advance classes. I walked into English and met Dr.D. Her enthusasim to teach made me feel a little more comfortable. Then, I sat down and just started processing everything.
First Dr. D went over all the requirements. I remember Mrs. Milligan doing the same thing, we sat down introduced ourselves, and went over what we were going to be expecting this year. So far, Dr. D's class as been more difficult then Mrs. Milligans, but that's just because it's suppose to be. Moving from middle school to high school is suppose to test your knowledge. Mrs. Milligan's class surely did, and now Dr. D is doing the same.
