These are wonderful topics that could start as Writing Prompts for journals (high school) and wrap around a great essay however, any information garnered from these topics would specifically be personal to the writer- and that sounds like Y-O-U (smile) Get busy writing. Sounds like you might have some trouble getting started. This is what I do. Get situated at a well lighted, clean place to write. Add notebook paper, dictionary, thesaurus, pencils with good erasers. Write your topic. Underline the verbs. (This is what the topic is 'asking you to do'). Look up the 'verbs' so you can be sure you know what they mean, List the additional requests under the verbs: i.e. Evaluate (means, to examine, take apart, reason). Reason what? An experience (first time being fired on a job) achievement (being accepted into grad school), Risk taken (leaving my teaching career in Detroit and giving it up for a singing career in Los Angeles)....you get my drift. Separate all the parts of the question and start writing short paragraphs for each. Go back and read what you have written. Decide which one of these you would be able to eleborate fully. Think about your five paragraph essay format. Develop your topic sentence - introduce your topic and basic comments you plan to make (3-4 specifics). Develop those 3-4 specifics, and write a conclusion which "mirrors" your beginning introduction. It's not hard, but I can feel your pain. Nobody likes to take the time to pick their own brain apart. It can be a challenge. I have found (this may not be your case) that my students don't like to write because they don't know how to write. They will not commit to memory the principal of writing. It does not change and can be applied to every writing situation. Additionally, they don't have 'WORDS in the bank!' You can't write if you don't have a choice of words to use. You have to know the parts of speech and how those words fit in a sentence. You have to have a basic understanding of spelling, mechanics (fitting words in proper order) and knowing who your audience is. I hope I have been some help. It disturbs me when young folks ask other folks to write essays for them. Be encouraged - you can do this. UNLESS, you are really asking your Yahoo community to write these essays for themselves. (smile)

I honestly think you have a chance. I feel your pain (a little bit). I have 8 chapters of Great Expectations to read by Tuesday, and it's thursday night right now. Anyway, read your @ss off one night, take a break for the rest of the night then work on your essay the next day. That's the best advice I can give. =)

Is this for school? You must have self-esteem issues. Think of this, anyone here who wrote it could be worse than you. They could have an "F" average. At least you know what the quality of your essay is. Don't cheat, study and work.
