An experience that taught you what good writting is.

An experience that taught me good writing was when i went to the tenth grade and i couldn't get a single good grade on my papers. In ninth grade i did really well on my papers and my teacher never complained. On the other hand when moved on to the tenth grade that changed. I could only form a thesis well and have good points, according to my teacher but i thought i was doing well. It was my first paper that i did for her and i had red pen marks all over my paper. I was shocked i thought i did my best, i reviewed the paper several of times, and made sure that all the errors were corrected. My teacher had fixed all of my mistakes and wrote down my strengths and weaknesses. As the year went on i learned how to form a thesis better and come up with good points, but sometime i have trouble with the flow of my paper and making sure that everything is correct. I really have a hard time forming my paper and making sure that everything is correct, because i think that it's correct but the teacher differs. I know the fundamentals of writing a good paper, but i have a hard time applying it writing the paper. An experience that taught me about what good writing is, was the mistakes of my bad writing.

The paper full of red pen marks can be daunting, but I'm glad you saw it as a positive thing instead of a scary one - thanks!
