Final Essay:
NOTE: EN090 does not require you to do outside research–in fact, the writing you do for this course will be solely from your own experience. This may be different than other types of writing you’ve done at the college level. Because this course focuses on building the skills to become a better writer stylistically using the steps of the writing process, we will not ask you to incorporate research. Work completed with research included will be returned to you.

If you could have any career in the world, what would it be?
