I think this essay was much harder than the first one. While i was interested in my topic just as much as i was with my first one i think this one was harder for me to get my point across. The citations also made this essay more difficult than the other one. Figuring out the works cited page was time consuming and tedious so i think that has had a big effect on how i viewed writing this paper. On the "I Belive" essay we were able to write in 1st person which i enjoyed, it made me feel like i could connect with the reader on a personal level. However, with this illustration essay its much more formal, i feel less connected with the reader and the essay itself because naturally i write in first person than im having to change it to third.

Kindness

I have seen many acts of kindness so to choose the best one is hard however, i can think of the best act of kindness i have seen recently. The other day my mom, my sister and I went to Walmart. On the way out of the store back to the car my mom went to put the cart away and she found a wallet somebody left in a cart. She immediately brought it into the store to the customer service area. On the way back in she looked in it to see whose it was and along with the owners ID she saw debit cards, credit cards, and a couple of hundred dollar bills inside, there was also a case of ear pods attached to the wallet. I personally would have went ahead and took at least a hundred dollar bill and maybe the ear pods but my mom was very kind to bring the wallet into the store without taking anything.

In-text citations

When should you use in-text citations? A good rule of thumb to go by is to cite anything that another person said, or ideas from another persons work. For example, if you were to read another persons work and felt what they wrote represents or supports the idea you are trying to get across in your own work, feel free to use what the author write but you must cite it. If you like what another person has to say but not the way they said it you could paraphrase their words and cite that too.

college student struggles

-
"College students often struggle to balance school work with demands of their everyday life". I agree with the above statement. College students often have more than just school work to focus on outside of class. Some students are active participants in extracurricular activities such as sports, clubs, and sororities or may have an important role outside of school such as being a parent or caregiver. Students may also be active in their community doing volunteer work or working a job. College courses are more demanding than previous high  school classes so some students may be struggling with class work then when they get home have a hard time managing their study time. College gives students a lot more freedom than high school so students have to learn time management skills and study skills.
