sample writing

My name is Jason Rocchino. I am 18 years old. I am a son to George and Cheryl Rocchino and a brother to Jacob Rocchino. I am a boyfriend to evelyn zwit and also a cousin, nephew, friend, and many other things. I live in Worth, Illinois, and have been living there for about 15 years. i used to live in Burbank but obviously i can't remember much of that because i was 3. I am here at Moraine Valley to take my general education courses to transfer out, but i'm not sure where im going to transfer yet. i think i want to be a mechanical engineer but i want to be a million percent sure before i rush into it. I dont want to be the guy that settles for the secondary job and makes like half as many dollars a year because he wasn't sure what he wanted to be. I am in this class because it is required and will help me learn to write better for other classes i have now, future classes, and in my future career. Everybody needs to write things all the time and its good to know how to do it correctly so you dont look like an idiot all the time when people read what you have written. In school you make friends and you learn who you are with them and most of the time you and your friends grow up to be similar people with similar interests. Teachers help kids become smart and school and friends help a kid define who he is. Parents also help you become who you are. If your parents are too strict and dont let you do much then you want to be a bad kid and do whatever they dont want you to do. If your too leinient, however, your kid can turn out to be a total punk and nobody wants that. You have to find the center point with your child so they can turn out to be well rounded and you can be proud of them.
