Profile Essay With a Lesson in Grammar
I learned many things from my profile experience. D.R. Reva Hutchins was who I chose to profile. I focused mainly on her success and the trend of success she created within her family. I learned interesting facts about life before the Civil Rights Act. D.R. Hutchins spoke of people who tried to talk her out of a computer science major simply because she was African American. She spoke of businesses that wouldn't allow her inside. I also learned of the fear that Americans felt toward the Vietnam War and the draft. I also liked that even though she faced many hardships she still became a successful computer analyst and college professor. If she accomplished her goals I feel I can accomplish mine. When I returned my paper to her she set in her rather expensive grey Lexus and read for twenty minutes. She rolled her window down and motioned me to her vehicle. She smiled at me with her pearl white teeth and said " Thank you". As I looked over the paper she handed me back, I realized that she had proofread my paper and made corrections with a red pen. She said "You will pull your grade up if you make these corrections". We said goodbye and she pulled out. Even in the returning of my profile to its subject I had learned a lesson in grammar.
