I have been writing essays for the majority of my schooling career. The one most vivid was a proctored essay to see where I would be placed in the private high school I attended. There was a detrimental a reason I felt this particular essay was difficult for me. The day before the exam my best friend got into a car accident and had to me be a rush into the hospital. She had to stay overnight and I refused to leave her side. The result of this was I did not get adequate sleep. The effect did not hit me until I was 10 mins into my 60 min essay when I slowly began to feel drowsy. When I abruptly awoke the proctor was collecting everyone’s paper.
