Both Sides of Happiness
Thank you Em for this deep, inspirational quote. I truly enjoyed it. In terms of being happy with my final piece of literature without being paranoid with not meeting expectations with the instructor, is very difficult for me. There are constant thoughts always rushing through my brain thinking that she won't accept my work because it's inappropriate, contains vulgar content etc. That being said, I am always searching to find a solution, not an excuse for my problems. Whenever I think about a topic, I always run my idea through the Headmaster, Mrs.Reidel. That way, I do not have to continue my project without knowing my idea is considered unacceptable due to content, as well as saving Mrs.Reidel the trouble of saying my idea is not acceptable when the final copy is done. This is why we have things such as spider charts, rough drafts etc. We are given the chance to get ideas out and run them through the Headmaster for approval. Usually, I think of ideas that are pleasing to myself and acceptable to the instructor as well. Being in many English classes I am given a rough picture of what is considered acceptable and unacceptable. So when I start to write I already have many idea flowing and do not hesitate to get it all on paper. In the end, I have been taught how to write pieces of literature without being happy with it while satisfying the instructor.

So, I've been promoted to Headmaster? Nice:) I'm glad you have found a way to make things work in this course Renzel. I hope that your strategy can be applied to your other courses and life in general. I do find you to be very approachable, conscientious and open to feedback. These are characteristics that will serve you well. Good post.
