I was graded

I was very happy to find out the class was assigned a writing assignment. Of course I love to write and express myself on paper. I put a lot of hard work into the essay for this class. I read and read the story over and over again. To myself, I believed to have the full understanding. I had other proof read my writing and share their thoughts on how to improve. I took in everyone's comments and convinced myself that I had done a great job. Now receiving my grade I was totally shocked. Seeing the comment that my essay wasn't well organized blew me away. Even though I understand that college is much different than high school I still had the mind set that the work I did in high school would be acceptable. I know that I have to try harder and put in a lot more effort if I want my grade to come up. Also, it was the first essay and I don't plan on having anymore C's. Overall I believe the grading was reasonable and now know what it is that I have to work on.
