Grade Essay- What grade I deserve

In English 071, I have learned a lot of new things that sure enough will help me out a lot in my next English course that I take next semester. I have spent a lot of time and effort putting everything that I have into my studies and to pick a grade is easy. I believe that I deserve an "A" in the class for all my hard work that I have accomplished. It hasn't been easy for me this semester as a first year student and have come across a lot of things that some I expected from college and some that I didn't. So far I have had a lot of success in all my classes and I can say that English 071 has been my easiest class this semester.
I believe that I deserve an A in the course for many reasons some more than others. First of all like I mentioned, I have always tried to put all my best in everything that I do especially in school because i know that my future depends on my education. Not only have I demonstrated that I can do good on my own, but when it comes to team work, I'm a team player. Teamwork is a huge part of everyday life and a lot of employers today look for team players. Whenever we did a team project in class, I always made sure that my part of the job was always completed by the due date. I knew that I had to do it because my team depended on my work and I was never going to let them down. I believe I was responsible enough to make sure my job was done and was also able to help out other team members when they needed it the most. I have also turned in all of my assignments on time and have made the most of my class time to get a head start on any essays and homework. I have always payed attention in class whenever we have taken notes and have never been afraid of asking any questions. All of my instructors have told me that it has been a pleasure in having me in their class and wished me luck in all areas of my life which proves that I'm an exceptional student and have the desire to be a successful person in life. The only thing that I know I have to work on is my attendance. I realize that I have missed a couple of classes, but have been able to pull myself up and catch up and overcome myself in difficult situations.
Overall I think that I have been a great student in this class which is why I believe that when I receive my report card, that I expect to see and A in English 071. I have proven to myself as well as others that I can be a successful student in college and later on in a university. That is why I believe that I deserve an A in this course.

The difference between a pen and a pencil is as clear as day light. Many people today prefer to write with a pen instead of the usual boring pencil. A pen consist of a plastic covering to hold the ink inside and usually comes in many colors. Blue and black being the most common. On the contrast, pencils are made out of wood and come with a rubber eraser on the tip and unlike pen it only comes in one color, dull and boring gray.

But in the long run, they both serve one purpose and that is to write, although one may be better to write with in certain occasions. Pencils are great when taking a test or drawing, and pens are needed when signing a contract or making a rough draft look professional as a final draft. Pen or pencil, What will you chose today?
