Stubbornly, I again tried to revise my essay by myself, but it was no use.

Finally, I decided to take my instructor's advice and call the Writing Center to schedule an appointment. A friendly voice on the other end of the line told me that there were several times available the next day. I picked the time that worked best for me. I felt good about myself for at least making an effort to improve my writing.

The next day, I headed off to my appointment, but I wasn't exactly sure where to go. I asked a friend where the Writing Center was located, and he pointed out that it was on the 3rd floor of Moseley Hall, right across from the Student Union.
