man this is old
unpublished drafting for paper 1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
given you know:
    a. what you want to tell
    b. the features you must have
    c. the features of the models that most appear to you
you:
    i. brainstorm
    ii. decide what you will include
    iii. decide what you will focus on
    iv. think about what your greatest delight in telling the story will be
then begin drafting
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
a. I will tell of my experience going to summer school and then going to west sound
b. I will focus on the contrast between the two
    I will focus on the types of people I saw at each
    I will focus on my own confusion about my own character and work ethic and integrity
c. I most liked the presentation of learning to read and being average, but while being average is more similar
    to my subject, I like the writing style of learning to read.

i. above
ii. also above
iii. again, above
iv. I'm not sure what kind of greatest delight I expect from this, and nothing comes to mind now. It's
    important how I fail to relate with any group specifically and have a hard time struggling to be inadequate,
    coming from a position where the slightest effort made someone exceptional. I guess it'll be fun to bash the
    public school system, but that's a bit of a guilty pleasure, and probably not something to find delight in.

>seemingly hallow pressure to succeed
>teachers that don't entirely care
>resent success because mindless busywork does not reflect superiority
sent to summer school
>first experience with negative effect
>don't fit in at all
>find pride in being success with little effort
>realize I have become what I resented
>become self-confident regardless
go to west sound academy
>don't fit in again
>incredibly unusual and diverse personalities
>workload is seemingly unrealistic
>attempt to maintain success
>quickly realize my hardest effect is met with minimal to moderate success
>begin to be capable of working hard, adopt quirks of others, become close to few
>many leave over period of several years
