yonkyuErin, you did a good job of covering the topics of the prompt. Some of your sentence structures are awkward. Try reading your paper out loud to see if the sentences are formed in a way that you would speak. Sometimes this is a good test of the “readability” of our writing. This is a good way to find sentences that don’t “flow” the way that we want them to. Let me know if you have any questions about the comments in your paper. TD
This was my professor's comment about my recent paper I wrote that I spent 5 and a half hours on.
Grammar is going to be the death of me - it really is.
I try to stay strong and keep my emotions under control but its hard. Now I need to spend MORE time on my homework that I just don't have. It is so frustrating.
I'm never going to get it. I just want to cry and give up. I want to give up so much and I push myself so hard because I have a 4.0 GPA. I have NEVER achieved an A in any of my classes growing up. I am proud of these accomplishments I have made through my Master's Program. Now I know what I will be doing after I complete my Master's. I will be taking a GRAMMAR class. I don't know why I get overly emotional about it but I do. So now I have to be even more aware of what I write and HOW I write it. It's still a good grade, a 3.5 out of a 4.0 but its more about the grammar and comments about my writing. I know stuipd right!!
Someday I will get it!! I hope.

So yeah - it's absolutely ok and common and resonable to feel like that.
You're not being a baby at all. I cry too when I get negative feedback, no matter how nicely stated.

It is something that I will have to add into my routine for writing. Take it in stride and know its for the better. :)
