Post 3

During my time at the writing center I worked with one student who brought in a scholarship application to be looked at. I was a little nerves because like I have said writing is not my strong point, but while I was working with him I was shock at myself at how much of a help I was. Just simply pointing out things like describe a little more on what you  did at this certain event,  telling him that he should reword some sentence because reading it I do not understand what you are trying to say here. I also was able to help him out because he kept saying he does not feel like he has enough information for each question, even though there was a word limit. I said that what you have done is great because by reading what you have said you are not trying to fill the word limit with fluff words you are telling me what you did and that is really great because as the person reading this you don't want to feel broad or that you are BSing questions. In the end I ended up staying a hour longer then needed just helping this one student out.

I really do not know what to say about chapter 3. I mean I understand what the modifiers do for sentence and how they make a sentece understandable, but it just seem like information I already knew expect I did not know it was called complements, modifiers or style.
