Wednesday Quote
One day I had a problem with a paper that was due very soon! I tried to write it several times, but not one thing seemed to work! I decided to seek counsel from my parents, especially my mom because she went to college and wrote several papers. I waited on her to get home from work so I could ask her face-to-face. She was able to help me understand how my paper needed to be written.
Lillian Baker, 6th grade
