Shitty First Drafts

In Lamott's essay, she emerged the meaning of word " shitty" is the idea of processing writing at first time in order to submit a complete paper. She also mentioned about ways to draft our papers in writing review for first and second time. Based on my perspective, I consider shitting is the method of opening and ending up papers. It is important to draft papers to determine the strongest and the weakest points in essay. I usually do shitty when I do not have any idea to start my paper, so I would do free-writing and then interpretate it to submit the final paper. In order to improve the drafts, I need to revise them many times and review again and again to make sure it is smooth with theme and topic.

Extra credit events

I went to two events which were presented in Elberly auditurium.

The first one was " The Times of Harvy Milk", it was basically focusing about criminology. They mentioned the way to run a program and tried to help those innocent people who were convicted to get out of jail by using DNA test.

The second event was a program about "Symposium on Gender and Sexuality. I went to panel 2 which was talking about causes and effects of sexual harrassement among people in daily lives. It also estimated statistically percentage of people reported their experiences in sexual harrassement.

Background Covering

We all came from different places and raised in different ways according to family situation. I would like to cover my background when I was a little girl. I was a girl who was raised mostly by my grandmother in Cambodia. It might be a hard time to live separately from parents instead of living with grandparents. I first found that I was upset to be controlled strictly by my grandmother even I was a quiet girl at the time. My grandparents and aunties sometimes gave me attitudes that made me feel so frustrated. However, I could not say anything or fight them back mentally at all because I was younger than me and had to behave respectfully. I therefore decided to write diary of my upset days in the book. I did not know if I was mad at them or hate them for a while. Until 2006 when I was 17 years old, I left Cambodia to live with my parents in United States. I found out that my grandparents were doing for my own good. I really appreciate my grandmother who gave careful attention to me. Finally, I can understand that I behave and grew up properly in a good family background.

Personal Perspective

The most significant and unforgettable event in my childhood was my first 13th birthday celebration. I still remembered how my friends and family gathered together to enjoy my party. I was extremely pleased and excited as I had never felt this kind of crowed and gotten wishes from people. I celebrated my birthday party at home where it was located in Cambodia.

When I thought over my past as I was a little girl, I was not completely inspired by parents to study hard at school instead of being responsible on my own to study. Since my mother often gave me less concentrated, she did not know how to encourage me once I got grade or reward at school. However, I knew that she always loved and cared me secretly. Until one day at November 21, 2000, I got a surprised birthday party from my mother. She finally made it for me unexpectedly. I really had a good life in my life with plenty of gifts from friends and family. Whenever I see birthday cake, it reminds me of my first cutting 13th birthday cake. It was an awesome feeling that I could not express in description. The only thing I can say now is I love my family especially my precious parents.

Personal narrative

My research topic is effects of social development on autistic children. I would like to do this research because I want to find out what the symptoms of autim are and how much people understand about this disorder genearlly. I contribute ideas of this topic since there are increasing of autistic children over the year genearlly as I used to see one of neighbor's kid suffers from autism. At first, I did not know what autism is until I found it out in my psychology and biolology classes. I determined that autistic children are born with gene disorder and cause them to have abnormal behavior and result in diability to interact with people in the society. In order to support my research topic, I would like to do surveys to investingate people's opinion with austic children's behavior as well as their understanding to this illness. I consider the reflection from survey questions will result in identifying how peopel in the society communicate with autistic children.

Paraphrase the passage.

Students generally contribute variety of quations directly from article in the research paper. According to Lester 1976, students are known to use 10% of direct quotation in their research paper. It is useless with too many quoations so it is crucial that students understand ways to raise their own ideas to the sources in order to avoid using over limit of quotation from articles.
