Mr. Hood! I'm at the University of Toledo now, and my english class is Honors Reading Conference 1. My professor told us today how she wants us to write our essays in the class. She started talking about having "meat" in our essays, and it made me want to scream! haha, so thanks for never allowing us to compare our essays to food. I'm less worried about that class now. :)
