As a student, I write my essays to gain the favor of my teachers, and to set myself apart from my colleagues. Now that I know how to write an essay that will appease my professors, I am learning to perceive the numerous flaws that surround them.

When I stick to a constant format, I am the equal to a lab rat on his treading wheel. I can shoot out essays...
The Whole Truth And Nothing But The Truth; How Essays Actually Impact Students

If by chance we show the motivation and desire for excellent studious habits and pride in surpassing the average student, then we would be of equal drive and desire to achieve better and show appreciation for what we can easily have. Pride in what is ours through true and dedicated work that we can be proud of needs not to blamed on where we apply from but from our inner desire for achievement of outstanding caliber. This kind of teaching and instruction benefits any whom partake.
