    Brian, there's something called a 100 word essay if you haven't heard.

    That's true, I've just never seen one that short. Most of my essays have paragraphs longer than 100 words. But hey, I wouldn't question it if I got money for writing one either.

    I think I didn't write any "essays" longer than 250 words until high school.

    Good stuff Umair, $500 is more than I've earned for any essay I've written lol (100 words or 2000 words).

    <div class="quote_poster">Umair15 Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">let me find it in my email..

    Found it:

    Essay: From dirty walls to a trashy carpet, our Spanish class is a big mess. Walking in class everyday, looking at the room, makes me think that the class could use a makeover. Doing creative projects in class everyday makes a big mess, which makes the class look like a dumpster. I know that my teacher works hard cleaning it up, but can use a little help. Having a classroom makeover will make our learning environment better. Our class is big, and is trashy from end to end, corner to corner. With this makeover, we can finally have a clean class.


    Topic was: Why your teach deserves a classroom makeover</div>

    lol, from the way you were talking about it, I thought it was going to be some sort of deep Ghandi like 'ish.

    The essay is rather poor if you ask me, really, all you did was mention how your classroom is a dump a few times, but I like your enthusiasm and passion towards writing essays, lol.

    Yeh but the essay was for like 13 year olds. I doubt a 13 year old is going to write a deep essay.

    good for you,
    just remember that "essay" that's really a paragraph where the same concept is repeated 3 times might be the easiest $500 you'll ever get in your life
    not trying to be a jerk, just trying to give it to you real, someone has to

    of course personality and a positive outlook will get you farther in life than writing skills so it's good that you have a positive outlook

    I wasn't saying anything bad to you, I was just saying that what you wrote is probably as good as it gets for a 13 year old.

    Ok guys, listen up. I am not lying that I won or anything. It said a 100 word essay about why your teaceher deserves a classroom makeover. I submitted my essay, they replied back saying my school got 1000 and I got 500. School even got an email about it. I personally think that was a good essay for a 13 year old (8th grader). I deserved to win imo. I won the thing. Hate it or love it, it dont matter because I won, which is all that matters.
