Week 7: Prompt 33. Imagine someone you know is taking this course and has decided to write about you. Write their piece for them!

I met a woman in my freshman year of college.  She, at first, is kind of quiet and reserved but when you get to know her, watch out!  She like's to have fun and can be quite a riot!


She likes to watch people, and is fascinated by the uniqueness in each of us.  She is different herself, in a good way, not like any average person you would meet.  Bravery and patience are second nature to her, she is selflessness and compassionate to all.  She is very kind and giving but don't cross her, she stands her ground for what she believes in and don't mess with others in her presence, she will put you in your place.  


She is older, though you would never believe how old she is by looking at her or by how she acts.  She's one of those "cool" mom's with a great sense of humor!  Her older son's friends like to hang around and visit with her and their girlfriends adore her.  Many of them call her 'mom.'  Hell, she kept us younger college students in line and encouraged us to do well by leading study groups and literally lectured us when she felt we needed it, she may as well be our second mom too!  Many of us students, even some that have graduated, still keep in touch with her, we do lunch or call for advice every now and then.  She loves to hear from us!

  1. This starts to give to the reader in the third graf, but the first two grafs don't work.

    Unique, different, average, quiet, reserved, compassionate, selfless, kind, giving--nothing in any of these words for the reader to hold onto for even a second. Stories, anecdotes, examples?

    Try a rewrite.
