so proud!

I'm not going to lie, I am proud of my paper. I wrote my classical argument on why marijuana should not be legalized. I wrote it down as one of my three ideas kind of as a joke but when I found out one of my friends wrote it on why it should be legalized, I knew I had to write the opposing side.

At times I felt like I wasn't going to be able to write a good enough argument. Me and my friend who wrote it on why it should be legalized, lets call him Jerry, would constantly give our opposing views. Jerry has done a lot of research and read many books about this subject so when he would throw all of his facts and statistics at me I would feel inadequate. I was later on talking to another one of my guy friends telling him that I wanted to change my subject to why marijuana should be legalized. He encouraged me to keep my faith and go with my standards. What he said really made me want to write the best paper I could so the research began!

I just put the finishing touches on my paper tonight and I feel very good inside! This is the first time I will turn in a paper and feel like I really did and tried my best. I am also very nervous to turn it in... being my first semester of college, the first time I have done a legit research paper in my life, its all a little nerve racking. Tomorrow I will turn it in, and lots of stress I have been suffering from these past few weeks will be all gone!! Now the genre presentation.. I made a little video.. I went back and forth on ideas and then I came up with one and stuck to it. It was kind of dark when I had the chance to shoot it ( I was at a service project for most of the day on saturday and i am trying to get it done so I can possibly present tomorrow) so I am a little worried that it will be hard to see, but the message is what is most important!
