Today I took the day off to make sure I did all my school work.  But I work up to text messages my mom fainted in the building she lived in from her blood sugar. She has diabetes. Someone found her in the hallway. She was unresponsive and rushed to the hospital. Luckily they were able to bring her back to stable condition. I was very upset all day. My mom lives in Florida so I felt helpless. I found myself making phone calls all day. My family and I were all scared. When I talked to her she forgot where I lived. Why did this have to happen on the day I took off to get my school work? It was a terrible day. Thankfully she is doing much better. She is still admitted in the hospital. I started to revise my essay around 8 pm. When I was done, I was extremely proud of myself. I feel like this revised essay is so much better than my first essay. I have a really good feeling that I will keep learning and get better and better at writing. Yes, repetition. Repetition is how I am going to learn. I feel like if I keep writing essays over and over I will get better and better each time. This is my advice for everyone. You wont learn the first time you write an essay. Your going to make mistakes. Your mistakes are how you are going to learn and become better. And I am actually really excited. Also another thing. Don't wait until the last day to do your assignment. An emergency might come up that day. I am really excited to have my conference with my teacher so I can ask questions and see what I have to do for my future essays to make them better.
