Writing Samples

I am writing a personal statement for a new job application and found this and thought I'd share it. (I realize that that last sentence is a run-on, but meh!)

Also, I know most of us are still students, in one form or another. How about we make a thread or section for RL professional development? I'd be willing to proof-read papers and stuff for others. I offered to proof-read Hax's paper, but he had already handed it in.

What do you guys think about something like that? Is it something you think you might use? Where would you feel more comfortable hosting it? General, or faction sections?

EDIT: I liked this quote from the 23rd paragraph: "Just be yourself, but a more heightened version of yourself..."

I was actually pondering something similar but admittedly didn’t give it much thought. I would be willing to give it a try….but I’d ask everyone to keep in mind that I am not an English major lmao. My spelling and grammar suck fortunately I am graded more on grasp of concepts. I would be interested in reading some of you all’s stuff too! (I actually tried to type “yall’s” as a word…spell check wasn’t going to stand for it)

lolz, we have spell check?

lmao, I happened to have word open for another purpose so I went ahead and typed it in word and pasted it here so that I could use spell check. I do the same thing for all my classes online discussions.
