    I'm 42 years old now, and for the life of me I can't recall when or how I ever written a paper. But, I find myself fighting for an opportunity to change my life by starting college on this Thursday. To help with the very expensive out of pocket cost, I have been asked to write an essay to be considered to receive a scholarship for my remaining tuition. I had no clue what I was going to do, or how to write an essay to achieve this goal until I stumbled across your highly effective "How To" video on essay writing. James I believe your my angel to an answered prayer, and from the bottom of my heart I wanna say "Thank You", for taking the time to share your knowledge on this subject, because it's given me the confidence I need to knock this ball out of the park with the most POWERFUL and HEARTFELT essay the world have ever read. Once I have been given confirmation of receiving my scholarship because I'm standing on God's promise that it's already DONE, I will send you a copy of my reward letter. I hope and pray that others will use your passion and willingness to share this gift to achieve greatness, just as I plan too.
    God Bless You James❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💋

    James, I appreciate you so much! I am an English Major heading for graduate school who is homeschooling two children. I lost my voice (I was a broadcaster, and had to retrain) and after seven years of hoarse, painful communication, I may have a cure. Problem is... therapy requires that for three months, I must not speak! My children are learning ASL, and we can communicate, but obviously I cannot lecture. For us, your videos are a blessing. You keep it interesting, and you are teaching exactly as I would. Thanks for solving a very messy problem for me! Your dedication and passion for teaching is evident, and helps more than you know.

      Teachers are just in for a paycheck and they over complicate everything. For instance with math they will teach you this one thing but in next class teach you a much more simple method of solving and its like, why didnt you just teach me this in the beginning?

      @@strickerarts Well it would be easy for somemone to tell you HOW to do something and copy it, but it is totally different when someone tells you WHY you do something, allowing you to figure out and do it on your own or be curious and want to know why other things happen that you want to know about.

I could see my writing physically grab someones attention and it felt great, a human being was absorbed in something i wrote? It blew my mind.
