I was pretty excited about my upcoming writing class; unfortunately, something came up to prevent me from going back to school again. It’s just not fair. I recognized my weakness and wanted to do anything to enhance my writing skills. What stopped me?

After I had been searching for a job for almost a year without any success, I told myself that I could either go back to school or pack my bag to go home. Somehow a picture of me walking in the school building and talking to my advisor about the problem I might run into on my assignment seemed very clear in my mind. With that, I knew what my answer would be. I went ahead with the enrollment. A couple of weeks after having registered for the class,  I received a phone call from a recruiter from my former company offering me a position. Having been informed about my work schedules, I logged on-line to my school website searching for the same class offered at another off campus. I spent several days checking and re-checking to see if I could move it, but my effort was in vain. There was nothing available on my day off whether it would be an on-line class or a traditional one; therefore, the only choice I had was to cancel it. What a bummer!!!  I knew that my ambition, eagerness, or interest in improving my writing would defenitely fade away and I couldn’t be more right.
