End of Another Semester

Well, here it is, another semester finished. We have all accomplished a lot in the past several weeks. Here at the WRIT Center, our students have made this our busiest semester yet--we have helped with over 1,000 different papers this semester! It is thanks to those students that come in for assistance or submit online that we have had such a great success this year. He hope that we have helped you as much as we could. I personally saw so much improvement in several individuals who come here on a regular basis, and I am grateful to help you make the Delta Difference.

One question might arise as you go on break: how do I keep my reading and writing skills fresh while I'm not studying? Here are some tips to help with this dilemma:

  1. Read: Pick up some books at the local library. Find a subject that appeals to you and find what best suits you. Some of you might get some books, an E-book reader, or an IPad for Christmas. Don't be afraid of using  these wonderful tools! They will all help you expand both your imagination and your reading and writing skills.
  2. Write: Start a journal. Be imaginative. When you have a good day, share it. When you have a bad day, still write down your thoughts. Not only can these pages contain some very precious memories, but the practice will give you the chance to improve your writing skills. Remember, practice makes perfect!
Remember, you can always come in to the WRIT Center for help next semester. We will be closed for the holidays from December 15, 2012 and will open for the new semester on January 14, 2013. Remember to come early and come often!

Thank you all for the awesome semester! Have a great holiday season!
