So I was going to post the prompt about robots but that one was weird so I decided to use the hand prompt.

So standard stuff, again. And I was intentionally vague with the names and concepts of the stories I mention because I realize that no one would bother to remember/understand anything about any of the stories. Prompt: I write with my hands So this is the essay where I explain my free-writing. I forget when exactly I started thinking up stories. It was definitely a very long time ago, with my oldest memories being around second or third grade. I had an imaginary world where there was a stand-in character for myself, and imaginary friends I would play with outside. I do have a faint memory of doing this somewhere in colorado when I was on a trip with my family, but I don’t remember much about what I was doing. Eventually I started to actually begin to think up my first actual story with a plot. It was terrible. The characters were unrealistic and one-dimensional. There was almost zero plot structure. There were too many specifics and too many vague descriptions where they didn’t...

Not even sure if I've censored this essay enough.

Prompt: How often do you curse, and why? Let’s just say that I swear a lot more than adults would want me to swear. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t actively try to offend people. In fact, I try my best to not offend people. I just subconsciously use swear words when speaking in my peer group. It started roughly around the same time that I entered Uni and discovered my freedom. I previously went to Urbana Middle School before entering Uni, and had a decent upbringing.

Personal Essay 1: "I don't like Thomas the Tank Engine or Bob the Builder"

This being the first personal essay I am submitting, any criticism is appreciated. Comment anything I should change with the flow, topics, or anything else. The essay is as close to 650 words as I could get and is definitely under 650, so no need for trimming unless there is something completely unnecessary. The prompt I used was "Have you ever felt embarrassed by the things that you used to like?" Personal Essay 1: There aren’t many things that I am embarrassed about that I used to like from my childhood, most likely because I like the same things now that I am older (such as my continued interest in dinosaurs from my first memories). The two interests that I held as a child that I want to leave in the past were my interests in the television series Bob the Builder and Thomas the Tank Engine. As a child, these shows and my characters filled up my thoughts and drove many of my actions. I was so invested in it that my parents bring it up occasionally in reference to my growth ...
