College Essay: My Worst Day In College

822 Words4 Pages

My Worst Day In College In life we all experience our fair share of good days and bad days. There is no way around, it no “if, ands, or buts;” that’s just life. No matter who you are, what you wear, how good you are as a person, you will have that day. My bad experience happened in college in which I learned a very important and valuable lesson that day.

It was time consuming but well worth the time and effort I had put into it when I saw the score of 74 when I turned it in and passed the class.
