Citations


There are multiple reasons why you would need to cite information in the text of your essay. If you were to go and take a quote from someone, you would need to make a citation for it. You would put your citation on your works cited page, and you would also do an intext citation. If you were to go and take words from a website that was not a quote, you would still need to make a citation for that work. This is because those are not your own words, and you need to give the person credit for who wrote it. Failure to do so can result in plagiarism.

Act of Kindness

Once Friday evening, I decided I would go grocery shopping. Walmart was crowded, and there was barely any breathing room. I gathered all my groceries, checked out, and started to walk outside with my buggy. In front of me there were two carts being pushed. There was an elderly couple and a young man. I heard the young man ask the elderly couple if he could take their groceries to their car. From afar, I watched the young man move the groceries from the cart into their vehicle. It was not just a few groceries either. The elderly couple had a full cart of groceries. The young man took the time out of his day to walk to their car and unload their groceries. He could have gone on about his day and unloaded his own groceries. However, he felt the kindness in his heart to take time out of his day to help the elderly couple. It would have been hard for the elderly couple to move the groceries, but the young man made that easier.

2/3 My Grandfather

My grandfather was my absolute best friend. There was not one time that he could not make me smile when I was sad. I would beat myself up about my family’s past, and I would tell myself I could not be anything. My grandfather changed my whole perspective on my life. He made me believe in myself when I found it most difficult to believe in myself. There are a lot of time when I compare myself to my family and their struggles. They did not make the best decisions, and it did not turn out the best. He taught me that I chose how my life turns out. I can choose to be successful as long as I am determined. Without my grandfather, I do not believe I would believe in myself the way I do. I do not think I would be in college and pushing myself to be the best I can be. He loved to fish, and we shared that in common. He was a caring man and always put other people before him. He would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. He was a one of a kind man. I miss my grandfather, and I wis...

College Students

College students often struggle to balance their schoolwork with the demands of everyday life. There are many things that a student can struggle with. They often have jobs, have children to care to, or either could be sick. I often myself struggle to keep up with my school work and doing other things in my daily life. One day, I had the flu. I had three tests the next day that I could not miss. There was no way around missing them and making them up because it was finals. I had to work through my sickness and go to class. I was able to talk to my teachers to be able to take my test alone because I did not want to contaminate other classmates. It did not make taking my test any easier, but at least no one else would be affected. Sometimes things might get in the way of studying and being sick did that for me. Sometimes if you stay organized, it can be easier to balance everything going on in your life.
