Apparently when the Masters' admissions say that you need to write a 600 word persuasive essay as part of the application process they mean 6-0-0 WORDS......no more, no less.
I haven't written a formal paper in years and was pretty proud of my 739 word persuasive essay and my pride was shattered when I received the rubric today. Half of the points that were docked from my total score was due to the length.
I was happy to see that I only had 16 errors in 739 words (I did say I was rusty, right). Because I am constantly focused on the unattainable perfection I am upset about my low score even if I did make it into the Masters of Education program.
How do I shake the feeling of failure and bask in the light of accomplishment????? I have 1 1/2 years and a 20 chapter (approximately) thesis paper to help me realize perfection is probably NOT in the cards.
On another note, "purple-fessional" from the Tel dictionary/pronunciation guide ("professional" for the rest of us)
