BLAST FROM THE PAST: DAY 11
Anecdote


This one should be fairly self-explanatory...


Homework is meant to be done at home, and you should always do your homework before the day it's due. Once, I was assigned an English paragraph that had to include an anecdote. I had a couple of weeks to work on it, but I kept putting it off. Finally, it came to the night before it was due. I didn't have time to do it, because I was too busy at the Science Fair. So then I thought, "It's okay, I can do it tomorrow morning before school!" That's what I did, and this paragraph is the end result. The poor quality of this writing shows very clearly that you should never do your homework the day it's due.
