The autobiographical incidents are coming in from my Freshman. Reading student papers has been the bane of my English teaching career. However today I read about six papers in a row that were extremely interesting. One Freshman writes about how her friends told her that they had decided to become popular. Another sick of the late night arguing by her parents, at four years old, gets out of bed demands that they stop so she can sleep. An student complains of a stomach ache for hours on end, only to be practically ignored the whole day and rushed to the emergency room in the evening close to death. Another student writes about the heart attack her father had.
On the other hand if I have to read another story about an "exciting" skateboarding trip, I might actually drop off into a coma.
