HI, I am new too! ^_^

Name: Esther
Age: 16
Location: Nashville, TN
AP Course: U.S.History AP

I just moved to a new school and now I am taking all Honors classes and USHAP, I do have Piano I as my elective course but I consider that like a relaxing yet boring class, especially since i play piano (wish I had requested for 3rd or 4th level!). I suprise myself by taking this course and who have thought I am actually liking it, it always seems that my hardest class always became my favorite. I really hope that I can somehow get a helper here considering essay writing. Even though I knew English from the day I was born, I know several other foreign languages and that sometimes messes me up. I am really glad to have found this site and it really helped me in my test and quiz. All I need now is to work on my essay and DBQ writing skills. My other school never gave much essays and I never wrote much so I really hope to improve overtime. I really want to improve my writing skills, by the way, it will effect my grades so I have to work on it! I was rank in the top 4 and top 5 last year and freshman year, but now after moving and taking all these classes, not sure if I can do that again.
If there is anyone out there that have time on weekends anywhere in the world that is great at essay writing, please help me!
Hope I pick the right place to write this, if not someone please tell me so I can delete this or do something else with this thread. Thank you.

Welcome to the forums Esther! Yup, this is the introductory forum so you're good.

Btw, what languages do you speak besides English?

lol i wish my hardest class was also my favourite srry i hate english so i can't help you with essay writing because my style of writing is obviously the worst and the highest final english mark i ever gotten was a 72.... but hey i like how you know several other languages i just know english and basic french and can only understand some filipino languages (my background is filipino) also im sure you'll do fine in your essay as you've been in the top 4 and 5 of your year you sound like a nice hard-worker

Well, I can speak 3 different forms of Chinese (ho kean, Mandarin, Cantonese???? don't know what it is call in English), I know little Japanese and hope to get a class from it one day at college or somewhere, and currently taking Latin (Japanese really help some in Latin pronunciation, so glad for that. ). I feel so guilty and upset that I let myself forget my German language, I use to know that but lost it while moving around when I was younger. *My dad knows several other language than me though, including the ones I know and Spanish, German....who knows what he knows. I guess he is the reason why I can speak diff languages*Maybe I will take Spanish I Honors next year it should be easy since it is like Malay (Bahasa Melayu), another language I use to know and now lost most of it but can understand some of it when I think about it, lol. What about you?

Thanks Lord Falcon for considering to help even with what you just said. I just took the essay test today, I was so happy that he pick the first q out of 4 q because I work more on the first q yesterday, lol, what a coincidence! The funny thing is that I went to him like 4 or 5 times in between classes today running around like crazy every time I came up with a q considering the essay qs, lol. He must thought that was the hardest one and pick that one purpose. I sleep like 2 hrs these few days, don't want to do it again but with the work I just can't stand not thinking about it. I will do anything to get a perfect score. I got my sheets from CHP 1 today, I will post some at your thread.

Hi I'm really happy for you and I need to tell you that you're so good with notes I just can't thank you enough for everything you've done. Especially to the fact that you've spent all that time writing down all those notes for me for a long time I imagine and I'm really grateful! Thanks I again and I'll pray and hope that you do get a good mark and don't hesitate to ask me any questions in any subject (except for english) and I'll try to answer your question if I can like you have done with me.
PS: Do yourself a favour and get yourself some sleep, you deserve it!

really? I know English well but just worries too much about essays, are you good with USHAP? I am looking for someone like a tutor who can help me improve in essay writing especially in that class, if it is alright with you, I really would appreciate the help. I was thinking maybe you can give me a essay to write about, I am am in CHP10, and after I write I can send it to you and you can help me with what I did wrong and what I need to improve, but it may take me some time to finish it because also busy with school. If you are busy most time and don't think can do that, then it is ok, I will try my best to look for a tutor somewhere....thanks though. ^_^
