  I appreciate your post and understand where you are coming from! As someone who struggles with writing I find feedback to be a little defeating and overwhelming as well. I just completed an English course that I found challenging but learned a lot. I think your personal reflection will help you moving forward and keep reminding yourself you're doing the best you can and the feedback is there to help you learn and do better. If we already knew everything there would be no point in being in school. You got this, all the best!

  Thank you for your comment! I am glad that you successfully made it through the English course and were able to take away some knowledge that will help you in the future as well. I feel as though all writing opportunities in each course are new lessons as the person marking changes, which can mean very different feedback and grades. All the best as you move forward!
