I am not a college student, yet. So, I cannot provide much more than my
personal plan to enter a prosperous career as a teacher. Yes, I want to be
successful. Hence, over the years I have developed a personality that
promotes success; I hide my “weird” better than most. As long as
I hide my true cunning, devious personality from others, I can fake it in all
my college classes. Although I am weird, my friends, habits and job promote
my college plans. Firstly, my friends and I have a positive influence on me,
which helps me stay focused on college; they have good habits. Also, I have
several good habits that help reduce stress and keeps me focused on my
homework. Secondly, although I put things off, I always get my
homework. Thirdly, I have a great part-time job, which provides the
necessary money to go to college. Lastly, I take care of myself by
eating healthy food. So, I have many positive character traits that will help
me on my path to success. Hence, I really have great qualities to help me

Remarks and Thesis (shaded)
Fast food is so good; I get excited about my next super meal at one of my
many fast food restaurants near my work and home; I crave it. Most of my
friends, young and old, can’t make themselves steer clear of a quick
yummy meal from McDonald’s, especially the Big Mac with an enormous
French fries and a gigantic drink with unlimited free refills. I am extremely
pleased to say fast food was created on the idea of high volume and cheap
food that I can snatch up at a drive-thru window. When it comes to eating,
I spend a lot of my food budget on fast food. Thankfully fast food
restaurants do anything it takes to save me 5 cents on its meat and fries. Firstly,
I eat a lot of fast food due to its low costs, convenience and appeal. Secondly,
fast food workers benefit from working in it restaurants; on the other hand,
fast food workers are exploited by the fast food management. Thirdly,
there are both negative and positive effects on the fast food restaurant
workers. Lastly, fast food franchises’ large portions promotes
over eating which leads to childhood and adult poor health.
Opening remarks and Thesis:
I have really tried to be a better student than I was in high
school. However, I have
discovered during my first year of collage that “trying”
doesn’t count. In high
school “trying” counted because most of my teachers gave me a
“pity” grade for trying—really, really hard. Hence, I
graduated from high school blowing math off and faking my English
classes. Well, I guess I showed
them—my teachers that is, indeed, I was an expert at faking it because
they never found me out. In
college I discovered that my high school teachers most likely knew that I was
faking it, but they passed me just to keep us quiet, especially my mom. It worked. I guess I showed them. I suppose in college I am going to have
to stop trying to learn and faking it and “do” it even though I
have many valid reasons why I am not a successful college student, they
(excuses) do not encourage success. I cannot have both; I can either choose
excuses or success. Firstly, now is the time for all good men to come
to the aid of their country. Secondly, now is the time for all good men to
come to the aid of their country. Lastly, now is the time for all good men to
