    Thank You WF

    As yet another testimony to how awesome this place is, and how I've benefited from it, I'd like to share part of an email I received from my Technical Writing instructor at the college I go to. This instructor has complimented me numerous times, yet I feel like WF should get some credit. Here's what the instructor said .

    Time to celebrate, Mr. Anfinson. Your grade in Technical Writing was just posted. You are a talented writer, sir. A pleasure to have the opportunity to work with you. Consider me a resource as you continue your studies.
    It's finals week. I finished the class with a 98% overall. Earlier this year I made a 96% in English Comp.

    Maybe it's not much, having a college instructor tell you you're a talented writer, but considering the first stories I posted on WF sucked and were terribly written, I think I've come a long way.

    Just wanted to share so staff has yet another thing to feel good about (and so new members can see another way WF might benefit them).

    Thumbs up, on your success! We do not participate in the same WF groups, yet know you must have been a willing and discriminating learner. Some post their work looking only for applause. You can lead a horse to water, but the horse must be thirsty and willing to drink. It was nice to read your outcome. Best. Sas

    Not bad for a high school dropout with a GED, huh? Now for a one week break, then on to English Comp 2.

    Now that's just great, J! You did the hard work to get there, but I'm glad you were encouraged by the folks here!

    Congratulations on your scores! And thank you for sharing your fabulous news... Good luck as you move forward..
    She lost herself in the trees,
    among the ever-changing leaves.
    She wept beneath the wild sky
    as stars told stories of ancient times.
    The flowers grew toward her light,
    the river called her name at night.
    She could not live an ordinary life,
    with the mysteries of the universe
    hidden in her eyes....
    Author: Christy Ann Martine

    Death leaves a heartache no one can heal,
    love leaves a memory no one can steal....
