My favorite and most amazing writing assignment I have ever done would have to be the Explorer's essay I did in 8th grade. The assignment was to write about the explorer she assigned to you and you had to include all this information about the explorer. The explorer I got was Meriweather Lewis who If you didnt know explored the United States. Starting off this project I didn't really have any idea of how to make it really creative. I tried a lot of thesis statements and adding fun details about Lewis. After a few days and many rough drafts I had something I could be proud of. I practiced reading it the whole next day until i felt comfertable reading it. I walked into block class feeling very confident, I had a excellent paper and I felt good about it. As people started presenting their papers to the class I kept re-reading my pape to make sure it was perfect and so then I would be more familiar with it. It was my to turn present and I nailed it. I got a 100/100 on that assignment which is why I was pretty proud of myself.
