My favorite piece of writing was my Florida writes essay. Every teacher i had told me how hard the essay topic would be. The day came and like everyone else, i was nervous. We all sat down and recieved our topics. the topic asked if i took more value in something i worked hard for or something that was given to me. I remember seeing it and just having everything click.
At the time, my family was going through a lot of money issues. My dad had to work two jobs and my mom was working overtime every day just trying to get themselves out of a hole they dug themselves into financially. after a few months of that, my dad realized that he couldn't continue like that for much longer. he managed to get a job working pest control on and army base in iraq. the job was exactly what we needed. he got paid much more and it wasn't so physically demanding.the only drawback to this new job was that we saw him for less than a month per year. it was stressful on the rest of my family but we knew that he made a sacrifice for us.
when i saw the essay topic. i just had so much to say about the topic. normally i take a long time just getting my thoughts together. this was easy. i think it i got a good score on it because i enjoyed writing about that particular topic.
