Oklahoma State Equine Program
_
This essay was the first college essay I had ever written.
The class was composition one my first semester at Oklahoma State. The
professor asked our class to explore the Oklahoma State website. We were then instructed
to write our first paper about a page on the website we found interesting.
Being a person that grew up showing horses and other livestock I found the page
about the Oklahoma State Equine program very intriguing. I was able to read
about the equine program and their history at Oklahoma State I then used that
information to summarize it into a well-written essay. This paper over the
Equine program was to be at least two pages. As our professor stated this paper
was to be a very low stress, beginner college paper. This paper was also a very
basic five-page paper. We were instructed to use only one website and the title
of the paper was to be the website link. I received an “A” on this paper, which
was a very good confidence booster for my first college paper. I felt this
paper was a very important piece to my portfolio because it shows exactly where
my college writing has begun. Although this paper was very basic it allowed me
to transition more smoothly from high school writing to college writing. This paper
was no work of art by any means but it did ultimately pave the path to begin my
college writing more successfully and even more importantly more positively.
