Week 12: (REWRITE/EDITED) Prompt 59. The door slammed, and I never looked back.
I've spent six long years in college. I never went when I was younger. My first year was sort of a refresher, I had been out for 19 years. I finally feel the end coming near, I begin to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I have worked hard, much harder than I thought I would need to. They told us along the way how great our education will be, I have learned a lot. I am grateful for the experience. New knowledge is wonderful! I was told how opportunity will be everywhere with a degree, I'm still searching as I count the days to graduation. Though I'm excited, it's a little frightening!

Given the prompt, given your next to last sentence, you sort of hint that the education was not all that great or at least the promises have not been met. But you're making me read that in, and I can't be sure it's there at all. Have you got a rewrite with some bite?
ReplyDeleteRewrite as requested :) Clarified. My train seems to run out of steam when 'prompted' to write. It's not as long-winded as when I can just write freely, and/or poetically. It's a bit of a challenge, though I'm enjoying the journey.
