The making of an essay

What made today different was realizing almost everyone in the class has had the same experience as I’ve had in the past. To me writing essays is pointless and a waste of time, teachers just give you a prompt and tell you to write a 5 paragraph essay on the topic. Yeah they help when you ask, but it seems like they wanted it turned in for your grade. To be honest thats the reason i even did them, for my grade. It’s exhausting and stressful.
